01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hear. shows a very high health score for its Google Business Listing, indicating strong completeness and optimisation. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, includes a website link, displays the business name and phone number, and correctly shows its Open-for-Business status. A key opportunity is adding more high‑quality photos to lift photos above the local midpoint.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Your reviews

Hear. shows a low Google review health score of 2.8 out of 10, indicating customers may be hesitant to engage. Key findings include no responses to reviews and very few total reviews, which can undermine trust. Encouraging happy customers to share experiences and starting consistent responses could gradually improve credibility.

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 ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3

Where you show up on the map

The strongest performance is in core local terms for Lincoln and nearby areas, including audiologist and hearing aid store keywords ranking at the top. Opportunities lie in lifting aggregate maps results and further boosting borough presence to move toward the local midpoint.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Hear. has an above-average health score for on-page SEO at 5.9 out of 10, indicating room for improvement while current technical health is decent. A key finding is that page load time is under 3 seconds, contributing to a better user experience. Critical gaps include missing meta description, title tag, and favicon that hinder search visibility and branding.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 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
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.

How people find you on Google

Hear. shows a modest overall health for website traffic, with room for careful paid experimentation. Key opportunities include starting a small paid campaign to capture potential customers and improving the organic base to sustain performance, as traffic already sits above the bottom quartile.

Strengths

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.
