Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The overall health is low, with a 2.4 out of 10. This means the listing needs significant work to attract and inform potential customers. The two most important findings are that the listing lacks a logo and has a very short description, limiting visibility and credibility.

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 lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 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
    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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Cars Sale Ltd shows a below-average overall health in Google reviews, with room to improve credibility and engagement. The most important findings are a zero reply rate to reviews, which weakens trust, and a relatively low total review count that limits perceived reliability. The rating itself is decent, but volume needs attention to reduce fragility.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

Cars Sale Ltd shows a very low overall health score in Maps performance, indicating limited visibility across Google Maps searches. The top opportunities focus on improving aggregate reach and securing more Map searches in the local suburb, Mount Wellington, by encouraging reviews and ensuring the listing pin accurately reflects the business location.

Where customers find you

A health score of 7.1 out of 10 indicates above-average presence, with solid signals from Facebook and Instagram. The business shows reliable social links and established profiles, but gaps exist in LinkedIn and Yellow directories that could limit reach for some customers and partners.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 2
    LinkedIn CompanyWe could not find an active LinkedIn Company listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Cars Sale Ltd's Facebook page scores 3.8 out of 10 (Below average). The page has a useful audience of 1,493 followers and shows a phone number, email and a cover photo, but uses a Facebook-generated address and omits a street address. These gaps make it harder for customers to confirm location or share a simple, memorable page link.

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 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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    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.
  • 3
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    Pages linking to youVery few individual pages anywhere on the web link to yours, so there is almost nothing for search engines to follow back to you.

Top three opportunities

    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.

    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

Hours are pointed away from demand, with open hours covering 67% of the week's customer traffic and six open hours in quiet times. Sunday 12pm to 4pm is closed, so customers arriving then meet a closed door and may go to whoever is open. The business should open Sunday 12pm to 4pm and let customers arrive, get in, and be served.
