01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Atlas Physio shows a below-average overall health for its Google Business Listing (3.6/10), indicating room for improvement. The listing has solid fundamentals such as a claimed status, an open-for-business indicator, and a clear phone number, with a strong description. The two most impactful findings are missing a website link and very few photos, which limit customer engagement.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

Atlas Physio shows a solid overall health with a 4.4/10 health score, indicating room for improvement in Google review performance. The strongest finding is a top 10% star rating, signalling high customer satisfaction. The business should build on this by increasing engagement with reviews and encouraging more feedback to balance quality with volume.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Atlas Physio's opening hours hit several strong demand windows but also miss important mid-week peaks. Open times match Monday 1-2pm and Tuesday 10-11am plus Wednesday 3pm, which align with high local search interest. However, the clinic is closed during Thursday 10-11am and 1-3pm when demand is also high. No low-demand hours are currently open, so wasted hours are minimal.
