Your Google listing

Balance Pilates Cashmere shows moderate health on Google Business Listing with room for improvement. Key strengths include claimed status, a visible listing title, an active website link, open-for-business status, and a strong description in the top 10% for clarity. The main finding is that the listing lacks a visible phone number, limiting customer contact options.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Balance Pilates Cashmere shows a very healthy Google review profile, with a health score of 8.7 out of 10. The top finding is a stellar star rating in the top 10% for overall customer satisfaction, supported by strong review volume. A notable gap is the complete lack of responses to reviews, which can erode customer trust if not addressed.

Strengths

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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

Your website

Balance Pilates Cashmere shows solid on-page SEO health with a 6.9/10 score. Strong fundamentals include a valid favicon, an H1 tag, strong text-to-page size balance and a fast load time under 3 seconds, plus a relevant meta description. The most impactful findings are the meta description length that could be refined and the opportunities to further optimise the SEO-friendly URL and reduce any frame usage.

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 load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.

Key high-demand times are covered on Tuesday 5-6pm and Thursday 5-6pm, while early weekday mornings show gaps. No low-demand hours are open, so there is no clear scheduling waste. Some morning openings could be considered to capture missed demand.
