Your Google listing

2 Cheap Cars shows a very high Google Business Listing health score of 9.8, indicating strong presence and completeness on the profile. Key strengths include a linked website, confirmed live status, claimed listing, correct business title, and a live phone number, all supporting easy customer access. The main opportunity is improving category fit to capture more relevant searches.

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
    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.
  • 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

2 Cheap Cars shows an above-average health score of 6.4 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating overall stability with room for improvement. The most important findings point to rating levels and engagement: the star rating is below peers and both rating and review count lag behind, while a stronger response rate to reviews is needed to build trust. There are many reviews, yet cadence matters.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where customers find you

Citations and social presence shows an above-average health score of 7.1 out of 10. The business benefits from verifiable social links, notably a strong Facebook profile and an Instagram presence, which support trust and lead evidence. Key strengths are consistent profiles on Facebook and Instagram that reinforce brand recognition and customer access.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

The business's Facebook page health is very high. The page holds one of the largest local followings (134,870), a claimed username and a website link that goes to the business domain, so followers can find and leave on the business's terms. Key focus now is keeping the page intro accurate; maintaining contact details and the link by testing them periodically preserves that audience value.

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

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.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.

Your hours against demand

Hours are mostly well aimed across the market, so one specific gap remains. Monday 8am to 10am is closed while the market is busy, and customers there meet a closed door during a morning peak. Opening Monday 8am to 10am would allow customers to arrive and be served during the busiest early hours.
