He has been in private practice since 2003 and relocated the Nautilus Plastic Surgery Clinic in January 2022 to premises opposite Forte Hospital with improved disabled access and river views.

The clinic offers cosmetic, reconstructive and hand surgery performed by a surgeon with specialist training and fellowship qualifications in New Zealand and the UK. Nautilus Plastic Surgery Clinic is an accredited day surgery facility and the practice notes a long association with plastic surgical care locally, including prior consultant work at Christchurch Public Hospital.

Patients' comments repeatedly highlight a professional, caring team and careful pre- and post-operative attention.

Some describe outcomes as life changing and emphasise clear communication and practical support when extra help was needed.

    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.

  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The on-page SEO health for Dr Jesse Kenton-Smith's site sits at 5.0 out of 10, indicating average technical optimisation and room for improvement. Notable strengths include a scalable page size, an H1 tag, adequate character count, and relevant meta description and title tag. Key gaps are favicon absence, suboptimal meta and title lengths, slow load time, and overall score below the top quartile.

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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

    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.
