Your Google listing

Dr Deanna Nelson's Google Business Listing has below-average health, scoring 4.2 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website, phone number and claimed status, giving customers a sound basic connection to the practice. The most important gaps are the missing logo, limited photos and short description, which leave less information for customers comparing local dental providers.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Dr Deanna Nelson's Google Business review health is Low, scoring 2.5 out of 10. The strongest result is a star rating that ranks among the highest in the local market. However, the business has very few reviews and no owner replies, limiting confidence for customers comparing dental providers. Building review volume and responding consistently are the most important priorities.

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.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Dr Deanna Nelson has an above average citations and social presence health score of 7.1 out of 10. Facebook provides a strong, recognisable connection, while Instagram depends mainly on search and TikTok has no active account identified. Several directory gaps also remain, including Infobel, Cylex and an unclear Dentist NZ listing, which may make it harder for customers to confirm the business.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 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

Dr Deanna Nelson's Facebook page has High overall health at 7.2 out of 10. It gives customers clear ways to make contact, with a phone number, email address, street address and a link to the business's own domain. The main gaps are that the page has 0 recommendations and 366 followers, limiting independent reassurance and reach beyond existing regulars.

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 youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

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.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

Your hours against demand

The dental market is busiest on Wednesday, with customer activity generally carrying from 9am to 6pm on weekdays. Saturday demand runs from 9am to 3pm, while Sunday is the quietest day. Because Dr Deanna Nelson has no opening hours published, customers cannot tell when appointments may be available and may choose another provider whose hours are clear.
