01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Gracefully Grounded shows solid basic information on Google Business Listing, with a healthy base score but room to improve branding and visuals. The top takeaway is that the listing is claimed and contactable, while the description and photos remain areas with potential to grow. Overall health is 4.7 out of 10, indicating significant optimisation opportunities.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Gracefully Grounded shows healthy engagement driven by a strong Google star rating, but overall Google Health score is low. The top finding is the excellent star rating (top 10%), indicating high customer satisfaction, while the health score of 1.8/10 signals limited review activity and engagement.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

Gracefully Grounded shows a very low overall health score of 0.9/10 for Google Maps search performance, indicating limited visibility.

Where customers find you

Gracefully Grounded shows moderate overall health with room for improvement in social and directory presence. The strongest finding is the outstanding Instagram profile, which supports credibility and ongoing engagement. LinkedIn presence also exists and can reinforce professional trust when aligned with branding.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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

  • ✓
    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 cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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

Gracefully Grounded shows solid on-page SEO health with a 7.3 of 10. Strengths include an optimal title tag range, a clear and relevant title, and adequate page text. Key wins also include secure HTTPS content, and an SEO-friendly URL. This indicates solid fundamentals, with room to improve meta description, favicon, load speed, and text-to-page balance to lift performance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Gracefully Grounded shows an average overall health score for website traffic, indicating room for improvement in attracting and converting visitors. The strongest signal is that organic traffic is growing and above the bottom quartile, while paid traffic has not yet generated measurable results. Focusing on targeted content and basic paid campaigns could lift overall performance.

Your hours against demand

The studio's published hours largely align with local demand, showing peak coverage on weekday afternoons and Saturday early afternoons. Strong matches include Tuesday 11am, Wednesday 3pm, Thursday 4pm and Saturday 1-2pm. However, several high-demand evening and Sunday midday slots are closed-most notably Thursday 5-6pm, Wednesday 5-6pm and Sunday 1pm-representing clear missed revenue potential.
