Your Google listing

The overall health of Affordable Taxation Service's Google Business Listing is low, with a 1.9 out of 10. This indicates substantial room for improvement. Key takeaways focus on claiming the listing, adding a website link, and expanding the description, while also increasing photos and ensuring a logo is present.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 3
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Affordable Taxation Service's opening hours mostly match weekday demand, with strong concentration on Thursday mornings and afternoons when searches peak. However, the practice is closed for several popular weekend slots-notably Sunday mornings and midday plus Saturday late afternoon-which represent missed revenue opportunities. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so current hours are efficient overall but could be extended selectively into high-demand weekend periods.
