01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Dave Curtis Design Ltd has a below-average Google Business Listing health score of 3.0 out of 10, indicating substantial room for improvement. The listing shows a solid claimed status, an active phone number, a full address, and clear open status, which are positives for accessibility. Focused attention on the missing website link and weak description will help attract and inform more clients.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 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
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Dave Curtis Design Ltd shows an above-average health score on Google reviews, with a 6.9 out of 10. The business has a strong star rating, placing it in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is to start responding to reviews to boost trust, while listing volume and confidence trends indicate steady progress that can be maintained.

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
    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.

Your hours against demand

Dave Curtis Design Ltd matches several weekday lunchtime searches, open for popular midday windows on Tuesday (12pm), Wednesday (11-12pm) and Thursday (12-1pm). However the practice remains closed across the strongest weekend search times, notably Saturday 11am-2pm and Sunday 12pm, representing clear missed demand. No open hours fall in low-demand periods, so evening inefficiency is not evident.
