01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Giles & Watson Audiology shows a strong base with a solid health score and verified listing details. The most important findings are that the listing is claimed, has a functioning phone number and website link, and the Open-for-Business status is accurate, supporting customer access and trust.

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 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.
  • 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

Giles & Watson Audiology shows an above-average health score of 5.9 out of 10, indicating reasonable performance in Google reviews. The key strength is a top-10 percent star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. A critical area to address is the lack of responses to any reviews, which can affect trust and engagement with customers.

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 under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.

Where you show up on the map

Giles & Watson Audiology shows very strong overall visibility in Google Maps with a health score of 9.7 out of 10. The strongest result is borough-specific visibility in Kaiapoi, where rankings sit in the top 10 percent, supported by several top-1 keywords. There is room to climb broader aggregate maps results, but momentum remains solid.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 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.

Where customers find you

Giles & Watson Audiology shows an overall health score of 5.6 out of 10 for social presence and directories, indicating average health. The most important finding is a strong Facebook presence with a very high trust score, while LinkedIn is present but less impactful for local visibility. Immediate action should focus on expanding profiles on Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly, GrabOne and Yellow to improve reach 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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/giles_watson_audiology) 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Giles & Watson Audiology shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 8.6 out of 10. The strongest strengths are a valid favicon, adequate page text, a relevant meta description and an SEO-friendly URL. Opportunities focus on slightly refining meta and title tag lengths, adding a proper H1, and speeding page load times to under 3 seconds for better user and search performance.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

How people find you on Google

Giles & Watson Audiology shows a mid-range website traffic health with growth opportunities in paid and organic channels. Key findings indicate no measurable paid traffic yet and a clear path to improve paid spend, while organic traffic already exceeds the bottom quartile and should continue SEO refinements.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Giles & Watson Audiology's opening hours align well with several midweek peak windows, particularly Tuesday 10-11am and Wednesday 11-12pm plus Thursday 12pm. However, the clinic is closed across several Saturday midday hours and Sunday 11am when local demand is strong. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so current hours avoid evident waste but miss weekend demand.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
