What AI tells people about you

FoodSavvy Dietitians is a team of New Zealand Registered Dietitians based in Ilam, Christchurch, with clinic locations also in Wellington, Nelson, Blenheim, Queenstown and Christchurch and remote appointments nationwide. They specialise in digestive health, food intolerances, weight concerns and eating disorders, offering one-on-one consultations in clinic or via telehealth and workplace or aged-care support services.

FoodSavvy Dietitians is a group of New Zealand Registered Dietitians based in Ilam, Christchurch, with clinic locations across Wellington, Nelson, Blenheim, Queenstown and Christchurch, and remote appointments available nationwide. Founded in 2006, the team provides nutrition consultations both in clinic and through telehealth options such as Zoom or phone.

The practice describes specialisations in digestive health, food intolerances, weight concerns and eating disorders, while also working with a broad range of other conditions. Services include individual one-on-one consultations in a private, relaxed environment, and the team states experience working with ACC and providing support for businesses, aged care and residential care settings.

Clients tend to experience a mix of feedback in public reviews; one review described a single session as not helpful for the reviewer's situation, noting a lack of specific goals, targets or meal plans. The practice notes phone contact hours and email support for enquiries, and offers both in-person and increasingly popular remote consultations to suit different client needs.

Locally, FoodSavvy positions itself as a multi-site dietitian service with both clinic and telehealth access, specialist focus areas and partnerships with workplaces and care providers. This combination of locations, remote appointments and stated specialisations is a practical summary of what clients can expect when seeking dietetic support from the Christchurch-based team.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

FoodSavvy Dietitians shows a below-average health score with room for improvement. The listing already has a title, a full address, a claimed status and a website link, which supports visibility and customer access.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

FoodSavvy Dietitians shows a high level of customer trust but a low overall health score on Google reviews. The overall health score is 4.9 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in attracting and engaging more customers. The business has started collecting reviews and maintains a strong response rate among top performers, though more positive reviews could help.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 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 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.

Where you show up on the map

FoodSavvy Dietitians shows a solid overall Google Maps health score of 7.6 out of 10, indicating good visibility with room to extend reach. The top opportunities focus on boosting aggregate map presence across more local suburbs and maintaining momentum in the borough where the business already performs well, especially around Ilam and neighbouring areas.

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

On-Page SEO for FoodSavvy Dietitians shows a very strong overall health score, indicating technical factors are well optimised for search engines. The most notable findings are that the title tag and meta description are already in ideal ranges, and a favicon is present. The top opportunities focus on adding an H1 tag, reducing render-blocking resources, and improving the text-to-page size ratio.

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.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to you than half the businesses here, which means a customer researching your trade reads someone else's explanation of it rather than yours.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

FoodSavvy Dietitians' published hours show limited alignment with local demand. Open slots match several strong mid-morning and one late-afternoon peak (Tuesday 10-11am, Thursday 10-11am and Thursday 4pm). However the clinic is closed for many popular windows-most notably Tuesday mid‑afternoon and multiple mid‑morning peaks (Monday and Wednesday 11am). There are no open hours during low-demand periods, so inefficiency from unnecessary open hours is not evident.
