Your Google listing

Animal Dermatology Canterbury has a solid Google Business Listing health score of 6.8 out of 10, indicating above-average listing completeness and basic accuracy. The most important findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, and contact details are available, including a phone number and a website link. However, the logo is missing, which can reduce recognition.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

Animal Dermatology Canterbury shows a low overall Google review health score but retains a strong star rating and growing review base. The top finding is a high star rating (top 10%) indicating solid customer satisfaction. A second key finding is the current lack of response to reviews, which affects perceived engagement with customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

The business ranks in a few broader maps queries and has limited local presence in its suburb. The strongest top opportunities lie in improving aggregate map visibility and boosting borough-specific rankings to appear more prominently in local searches.

Where customers find you

Animal Dermatology Canterbury shows a healthy social presence score of 0.8 out of 10, indicating very low overall health in Citations & Social Presence. The most notable achievement is a strong Facebook profile with very high trust, suggesting a solid foundation for local credibility. Opportunities lie in adding or activating profiles on Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly, LinkedIn and Yellow to broaden reach.

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.

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 three 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Animal Dermatology Canterbury's on-page SEO health is low, with a 2.4/10 overall score. The strongest noted achievement is a valid favicon and an SEO-friendly URL, plus a relevant meta description and adequate text. The most critical issues are absence of an H1 tag, missing meta description for the homepage (incomplete), and use of frames that may hinder indexing. Addressing these will support crawlability and relevance for local clients.

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
    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
    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.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.

How people find you on Google

The overall health of Website Traffic for Animal Dermatology Canterbury sits at a low level, with a 2.5 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility and activity compared to local peers, with risks around missed paid opportunities and underutilised organic potential.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Animal Dermatology Canterbury shows a mixed fit between opening hours and local demand. Forty weekly hours align with peak times, but there are 42 high-demand hours when the clinic is closed. No hours are open during low-demand periods, so current schedule is not wasteful but misses several evening and weekend customer windows where demand is clearly strong.
