01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Chris Waalkens has a low Google Business Listing health score of 1.7 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website, trading status, phone number and full address, giving customers practical ways to find and contact the practice. The most important gaps are that the listing is not claimed and has no meaningful description, limiting control and clarity when people discover the business on Google.

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

Chris Waalkens has a below average Google review health score of 3.1 out of 10. The practice has a strong star rating, which supports first impressions, but its review profile is weakened by low review volume and no owner replies. Building review numbers systematically and responding to existing reviews would improve the listing's credibility for customers comparing periodontal care options in Remuera.

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 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

Chris Waalkens has an above average Maps Search Performance health score of 6.4 out of 10. The business has the widest reach across surrounding suburbs among businesses in this market, with several periodontist and dental implant searches ranking in positions two or three. The main gap is visibility within Remuera, where nearby customers are shown other businesses first.

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.

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Chris Waalkens has a very low health score of 1.3 out of 10 for citations and social presence. The main issue is that no active profiles were found on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok, while Neighbourly and LinkedIn listings were also absent. This leaves customers and clients without several third-party places to check the business, contact the practice or confirm its local presence.

Your Facebook page

Chris Waalkens has no Facebook page that customers can find. That removes a familiar place for people to confirm the practice is real, see recent work, and send a message before booking. It is unusual in this market: 150 of 277 businesses have a page that can be found. The gap is either a missing page or an undiscoverable one.

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

The business's hours are well aligned with demand, covering 71% of the week's customer traffic, with one main gap on Saturday. On Saturday 9am to 3pm, customers find the practice closed and cannot be served. Extending Saturday hours from 9am to 1pm would let customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of that gap.
