Your Google listing

Ace Accounting Limited shows an average overall health for its Google Business Listing, with room to improve and more opportunities to enhance visibility. The listing already has a claimed status, a visible open-for-business indicator, a website link, a listed title and a phone number, which supports basic trust and accessibility for clients.

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 lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 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
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Ace Accounting Limited shows a healthy Google review profile with a health score of 8.4 out of 10. The top finding is a high level of review activity and confidence, along with a strong review count.

Where you show up on the map

Ace Accounting Limited shows a very high overall health score for Maps search performance, indicating strong visibility across Google Maps. The top achievement is borough-specific visibility, placing in the top 10% locally. Strong keyword performance in Yaldhurst includes multiple 1st position terms such as accountant, accounting firm, and tax services.

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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

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 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.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Ace Accounting Limited shows an average on-page SEO health, with a score of 5.5 out of 10. The current status indicates room for improvement in meta description presence and load speed, while existing achievements include a valid favicon, compact page size, sufficient text, no frames, and an SEO-friendly URL. Priorities focus on meta description, title tag tuning, and speed enhancements to lift performance.

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
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Ace Accounting Limited shows an overall traffic health score of 6.8 out of 10, which is above average for the local market. The business already has a reasonable organic footprint and mid-range organic traffic value, but there are notable gaps in paid traffic activity. Priorities include launching small, targeted paid campaigns with clear landing pages and conversion tracking.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Ace Accounting Limited shows mixed timing alignment. The firm is open during several strong Thursday peaks (10am, 11am, 1-3pm) but is closed for a number of high-demand windows, notably Thursday 9am, Wednesday 9am and several Sunday mid-morning slots. Total well-aligned peak hours are 35 versus 52 missed high-demand hours. There are no low-demand open hours, so inefficiency from unnecessary opening is minimal.
