01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Catherine Porter Orthodontist has a low Google Business Listing health score of 1.8 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website, phone number and address, helping customers find and contact the practice. The most important gaps are that the listing is not claimed and has no meaningful description, limiting control over its information and the context available to potential customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Catherine Porter Orthodontist has a below average Google review health score of 3.7 out of 10. The main concern is that no reviews have received a reply, limiting the business's opportunity to show engagement alongside customer feedback. Its rating and review count also sit below the local market midpoint, reducing confidence for customers comparing orthodontic practices.

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

Where you show up on the map

The business appears in a handful of searches across nearby Auckland suburbs, with the strongest result ranking third for orthodontist searches in Greenlane. However, it is not appearing in Maps searches from Remuera, so improving local visibility should be the main focus.

Where customers find you

Catherine Porter Orthodontist has an above-average Citations & Social Presence health score of 7.0 out of 10. Its strongest foundations are a well-associated Facebook page and established listings on LinkedIn, Infobel and Dentist NZ. The main gaps are missing Instagram and TikTok profiles, along with absent Yellow, Neighbourly and LinkedIn Company listings, which may leave some customers without a trusted profile or directory result.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn ProfileWe can see your LinkedIn Profile listing (https://linkedin.com/in/catherine-porter-25818675) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/catherine_porter_orthodontist) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Catherine Porter Orthodontist has an above average Facebook page health score of 6.7 out of 10. The page provides customers with a clear business-name address, phone number, email address, street address and a link to the business's own domain. The main gaps are 0 recommendations, 173 followers, and an intro that gives limited detail about the service and location.

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 page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

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.
  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.
  • ✓
    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 youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The practice covers 58% of the week's customer traffic, with no open hours falling in quiet times, so its hours are well aimed but one gap remains. On Wednesday from 1pm to 6pm, customers meet a closed door. The practice should open Wednesday from 1pm to 5pm, letting customers arrive while demand is busiest.
