01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Better Hearing Co shows a very healthy Google Business Listing at 8.6/10, with solid control and essential contact details. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, has a visible phone number, and includes a website link, which supports easy customer reach and learning about services.

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 opportunity

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.

Your reviews

Better Hearing Co shows a very high health score for Google reviews with strong satisfaction and engagement. The standout finding is a top 10% star rating, reflecting excellent customer feedback. Other strengths include solid listing activity and a high response rate in the top quartile, indicating active customer interaction.

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 countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.

Where you show up on the map

Better Hearing Co shows a healthy Google Maps presence with a health score of 7.6 out of 10. This indicates solid local visibility and reliable exposure in maps search. The business ranks highly for multiple audiologist related queries in Christchurch, with top positions in several key suburbs, reflecting strong performance in core service areas.

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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

Where customers find you

Better Hearing Co shows an average health score for citations and social presence, with a notable strength on Facebook.

Focus remains on establishing missing profiles and directories to broaden local visibility and credibility.

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.

Strengths

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Better Hearing Co shows an above-average on-page SEO health score of 6.2 out of 10. Strengths include a relevant meta description, a precise title tag, an SEO-friendly URL and a compact page size under 256KB. The most important opportunities are improving the meta description presence, fine-tuning the title length, adding a favicon, and addressing the text-to-page size balance to avoid excessive plaintext content.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

    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

Better Hearing Co shows moderate website traffic health (5.2/10). Organic traffic indices are improving, with organic traffic value and total above the bottom quartile, indicating some SEO footing. However, paid traffic is underdeveloped, with no measurable paid traffic or spend yet. Targeted paid campaigns could help capture more potential customers while maintaining conversion focus.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Better Hearing Co's opening hours largely match midweek demand: several late-morning and lunchtime slots on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday align with high local search activity. However, the clinic is closed during a block of Sunday midday and early-afternoon peaks - a clear missed opportunity. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so current schedule is efficient but could be tweaked to capture weekend interest.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
