Your Google listing

This executive Google Business Listing health summary for Anstice & Associates Optometrists reflects a very low overall health score, with clear gaps in the listing data alongside a couple of established strengths.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 2
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

Anstice & Associates Optometrists shows a solid Google review presence with a health score of 4.7 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The standout finding is that the listing already has a healthy number of reviews and a decent rating trend, but engagement is missing as no reviews have been responded to. Addressing responses can build trust with customers.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

Where customers find you

Anstice & Associates Optometrists shows overall health of 6.2 out of 10, indicating above-average presence with room to strengthen key platforms. The strongest completed item is a high-trust Facebook profile, while the Neighbourly listing helps reach local customers. Opportunities include improving Instagram trust, adding TikTok presence, and creating consistent GrabOne and directory listings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/anstice-associates-optometrists-limited) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Healthpoint ListingWe can see your Healthpoint Listing listing (https://healthpoint.co.nz/anstice-associates-optometrists) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Anstice & Associates Optometrists shows average on-page health with a 5.5/10 score, indicating room for improvement. The most impactful findings are missing meta description and render-blocking resources, which affect click-through rates and load times. A valid favicon, SEO-friendly URL, and an H1 tag are positive anchors for ongoing optimisation.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

Anstice & Associates Optometrists shows a reasonable overall traffic health with scope to improve paid activity and continued organic momentum. The health score is 6.0 out of 10, indicating above-average traffic potential but clear gaps in paid reach and keyword coverage that could translate to missed opportunities for local customers.

Strengths

    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.

    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.
  • 3
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

Your hours against demand

Anstice & Associates' published hours match several weekday search peaks, notably on Tuesday mid-morning to early afternoon and Thursday late morning, but they miss a cluster of Saturday midday demand. The practice currently has 45 well-aligned peak hours, 75 missed high-demand hours and no low-demand open hours. Adjusting weekend availability could better capture local customers who search at peak times.
