Your Google listing

Gentle Dentists Ellerslie has a very high Google Business Listing health score of 8.7 out of 10. The listing includes key details such as the business name, website link, trading status, claimed status and phone number, giving customers clear ways to identify and contact the practice. The main opportunity is to add more photos, helping customers compare the practice with nearby businesses.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.

Your reviews

Gentle Dentists Ellerslie has a high Google Business Reviews health score of 8.2 out of 10. Its review confidence and total review count are ahead of the local market midpoint, while the star rating remains the main area to improve. The practice also responds to nearly all reviews, supporting a visible two-sided conversation with customers. Consistent review activity will help maintain this position.

Strengths

Where you show up on the map

Gentle Dentists Ellerslie has very high Maps Search Performance, with a health score of 8.7 out of 10. It leads local visibility in Ellerslie, appearing first for cosmetic and paediatric dentist searches and near the top for several other services. The main opportunity is maintaining visibility across surrounding suburbs, where regular review requests can help protect reach.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Gentle Dentists Ellerslie has a very high Citations & Social Presence health score of 9.7 out of 10. Strong, clearly connected Facebook and Instagram profiles provide reliable social presence, while LinkedIn and Healthpoint listings add directory coverage. The main gaps are the absence of an active TikTok account and several local directory listings, which may limit visibility for customers using those platforms.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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

Gentle Dentists Ellerslie's Facebook page has very high overall health, supported by 8,800 followers, a published phone number, a chosen page address, a cover photo and a link to the business's own domain. The main gaps are practical contact details: customers cannot find an email address or street address on the page, which can make written enquiries and location checks harder.

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 three opportunities

  • 1
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.
  • 2
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreMost checks on your home page pass, so someone clicking through from a search gets a page that opens quickly and says what it is.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are spread across a fair range of sites for a profile this size, and the mix of link types looks ordinary.
  • 3
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.
