01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Fancy Paws Pet Grooming shows a below-average health on Google Business Listing at 3.3/10. The listing has a clear title, claimed status, open-for-business status, a phone number and a full address. The main strengths are complete contact details and claimed status; opportunities focus on adding a website link, refining the description, and leveraging photos to boost rankings.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Where customers find you

Fancy Paws Pet Grooming shows overall health 4.5 out of 10, indicating average presence across social platforms and directories. The business benefits from a very strong Facebook profile and solid Yellow Directory and Neighbourly listings. Key finding: Facebook is a strong anchor, while gaps exist in Instagram, TikTok, GrabOne, TikTok Directory and LinkedIn Company presence that could improve discovery and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/fancy-paws-pet-grooming-579445861) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe turned up your Instagram Profile page, but only barely, and nothing you own points at it - your website does not link to it and it is not 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
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Fancy Paws' opening hours match several high-demand weekday afternoons, especially midweek and Thursday. Closing gaps on late afternoons and Sunday midday leave clear missed opportunities. No open hours fall during low-demand periods, so recorded hours are efficient if demand is captured. Adjusting a few late-afternoon and Sunday slots could increase bookings without expanding total weekly hours.
