01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Dr. Katie Bach - Toothbuds has a below average Google Business Listing health score of 3.2 out of 10. The listing is claimed and includes the business name, website link and phone number, giving customers clear ways to identify and contact the practice. The main gaps are the missing description and logo, along with limited photos and category coverage, which reduce the listing's completeness.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Dr. Katie Bach - Toothbuds has an Average Google Business review health score of 5.3 out of 10. Its rating is among the highest in the local market, while the review count and rating confidence are above the middle. The main gap is that no reviews have received a reply, and maintaining review volume will help protect the practice's established, well-rated position.

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 countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

Dr. Katie Bach - Toothbuds has an above average Maps Search Performance health score of 6.1 out of 10. The practice ranks strongly across many surrounding Auckland suburbs, including first place for several paediatric dentist searches, and second place in Grey Lynn. The main gap is local visibility, where the business appears less often than half of competing businesses in nearby searches.

Where customers find you

Dr. Katie Bach - Toothbuds has a low citations and social presence health score of 2.4 out of 10. The main issue is that no active Facebook, Instagram or TikTok profiles were found, limiting places where customers can check information or contact the practice. No active Yellow or Neighbourly listings were found either, reducing the business's visibility across relevant local directories.

Your Facebook page

Customers therefore have no Facebook place to confirm the practice is real, see recent work, or send a message before choosing paediatric dental care.

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
    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.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The business covers 61% of the week's customer traffic, while four open hours fall in quiet times, so its hours are pointed away from demand. Saturday 9am to 3pm is closed while customers are busy, leaving customers to meet a closed door. The business should open Saturday 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of the day.
