Your Google listing

Riccarton Dentists shows a low overall health on the Google Business Listing, with room to improve completeness and visual assets. Key strengths include a live Open-for-Business status, a listed website link, a visible listing title, a working phone number, and a full address, which support easy discovery and contact for local patients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Riccarton Dentists shows an average health score of 5.0 out of 10 on Google reviews, indicating moderate overall performance.

Where you show up on the map

Riccarton Dentists shows strong visibility in Google Maps for core dental queries in Riccarton and Upper Riccarton, with a health score of 4.9 out of 10. The two key opportunities are improving aggregate map results and maintaining/advancing borough presence to move into top performers. Current top keywords include dentist in riccarton and dental clinic in riccarton, indicating solid relevance in local searches.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.

Where customers find you

Riccarton Dentists shows average health for social presence with key strengths in a very strong Facebook profile, while multiple high-potential platforms are missing. The two most important findings are the outstanding Facebook presence and the absence of active profiles on Instagram and TikTok, plus Neighbourly and LinkedIn are not yet active. This mix suggests steady trust on Facebook but room to expand reach locally.

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.
  • ✓
    Healthpoint ListingWe can see your Healthpoint Listing listing (https://healthpoint.co.nz/riccarton-dentists) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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 pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Riccarton Dentists shows an average on-page health score of 5.2 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a fast page under 3 seconds, a compact page under 256KB, an SEO-friendly URL, and secure content over HTTPS. The most important findings are the missing meta description and suboptimal title tag length, which can affect click-throughs and visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 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

Riccarton Dentists shows below-average health for Website Traffic with a 3.9/10. The key finding is very low organic traffic value and no organic rankings yet, indicating SEO work is needed. Paid traffic also shows little to no activity, suggesting initial campaigns should be careful and well-targeted. The business should prioritise content and on-page SEO to improve visibility.
