01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Dentistry with a Smile shows solid listing health with a health score of 6.0 out of 10, meaning the listing is above average but there is room for improvement. The business has a clear phone number, a website link, a claimed status and a listing title, and the Open-for-Business status is excellent, which helps reassure customers searching for 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 three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    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.

I was 17 weeks pregnant and was having unreal pain around my wisdom tooth. I rang 3 other dentists who didn’t want anything to do with me until I rang these guys! I got seen and treated super fast, the process and pricing was all explained...

Response from the owner

Thank you for your lovely review Akisha! Will pass on your feedback to everyone. So glad we could help out and we look forward to seeing you again when you are ready. All the best!

Strengths

Your Facebook page

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
    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.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Dentistry with a Smile shows an above average on-page SEO health score of 5.9 out of 10. The most important findings are: a valid favicon and a secure HTTPS setup, plus a strong, relevant title tag and presence of an H1 tag. Opportunities include refining the meta description length, adjusting the title tag length, improving the overall on-page SEO score toward the top quartile, ensuring text-to-page size balance, and removing frames if present.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 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.
