01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Elite Physiotherapy Riccarton shows solid health on Google Listing with a 6.6/10 and above-average standing. The listing already provides a website link, a listed phone number, a claimed status and an open-for-business indicator, which helps customer access and trust. The description is improving but still below the local midpoint. Photos meet or exceed the median, supporting visibility.

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 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.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

Elite Physiotherapy Riccarton shows a below-average Google Business health score, but some positive momentum.

Key opportunity areas include boosting the review response rate and continuing to grow the star rating through more customer feedback.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

Elite Physiotherapy Riccarton shows an average health level and several existing social profiles, with Facebook in strong standing. The strongest current asset is a highly trusted Facebook presence, complemented by LinkedIn and Neighbourly listings that aid local reach. Main improvement areas are missing Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn Company, Neighbourly, and Yellow Directory profiles to broaden visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn ProfileWe can see your LinkedIn Profile listing (https://linkedin.com/in/jackharrison2) found via: Your website.
  • ✓
    Healthpoint ListingWe can see your Healthpoint Listing listing (https://healthpoint.co.nz/elite-physio) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.

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 two 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Elite Physiotherapy Riccarton shows a solid on-page SEO health with a score of 6.7 out of 10, meaning the site sits above average for the sector though improvements are possible. Key strengths include an outstanding on-page SEO score, a valid favicon, a compact page size, no render-blocking resources, and a fast load time under 3 seconds. Core issues relate to meta description, title tag length, and URL structure.

Strengths

  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 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.
