AucklandPerio is a specialist periodontics practice in Remuera, Auckland. It provides care for gum problems and periodontal conditions, along with dental implant surgery and related treatment.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

AucklandPerio's Google Business Listing health is Below average, with a score of 2.9 out of 10. The listing is claimed and includes the business name, website link and phone number, giving customers key ways to identify and contact the practice. The most important gaps are the missing description and logo, along with limited photos and category coverage.

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 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.
  • 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 listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

AucklandPerio's Google review health is Low, with a score of 2.7 out of 10. The main concerns are a review rating and volume that sit behind local competitors, alongside no owner replies to existing reviews. Increasing review volume systematically and responding to every review would strengthen the listing's credibility and provide customers with more context when comparing practices.

Strengths

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.

Where you show up on the map

AucklandPerio has above-average Maps visibility, with a health score of 7.0 out of 10. It reaches more surrounding suburbs than any other business in this market, including several top-two rankings for periodontist and dental implant searches. The main gap is local visibility in Remuera, where AucklandPerio appears below most nearby businesses in suburb-level searches.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Where customers find you

AucklandPerio's citations and social presence is below average, with a health score of 3.7 out of 10. The practice has a visible Dentist NZ listing, providing one established third-party presence. The main gap is the absence of active Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly and LinkedIn profiles, which limits where customers and clients can find information or contact the business.

Your Facebook page

AucklandPerio has no Facebook page that customers can find. That leaves a gap in a market where 150 of 277 businesses have a findable page. Customers cannot use Facebook to confirm the practice is real, check recent work, or send a message. The missing page removes a familiar place for basic reassurance before contacting a periodontics practice.

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.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.

Your hours against demand

AucklandPerio's hours cover 71% of the week's customer traffic, with the remaining gap concentrated outside weekday trading. Saturday 9am to 3pm is closed while customers are busy, so customers meet a closed door. AucklandPerio should open Saturday 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive for the busiest part of that period.
