01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Howick Village Denture Studio's Google Business Listing has an Average health score of 4.9 out of 10. Core details are in place, including the business name, website, phone number, claimed status and open-for-business status. The main gaps are a shorter description, limited category coverage and fewer photos than nearby listings, which may reduce visibility and comparison appeal.

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
    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.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Howick Village Denture Studio has an above average Google Business review health score of 6.9 out of 10. The strongest result is its review response rate, with the business answering virtually every review and maintaining an active presence. The main gap is review volume, which sits below the middle of the local market and limits confidence for customers comparing listings.

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 sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating sits ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.

Where you show up on the map

Howick Village Denture Studio has an average Maps Search Performance health score of 5.0 out of 10. The business ranks strongly for denture care searches in Howick and several nearby suburbs, including first place in Howick, Maraetai and Cockle Bay. The main gap is broader visibility across surrounding suburbs, where fewer potential customers may see the business than competitors.

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 the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Howick Village Denture Studio has an above average Citations & Social Presence health score of 5.9 out of 10. Its Facebook profile has a strong trust association, giving customers a reliable social profile to find. The main gaps are missing Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly, LinkedIn and Healthpoint profiles, which may leave customers with no listing or, on Healthpoint, another business instead.

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.

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

Howick Village Denture Studio's Facebook page has High overall health at 7.6 out of 10. The page gives customers several direct ways to make contact, with its own website link, phone number, email address and street address all published. The main limitation is reach: 325 followers and 3 recommendations provide reassurance for existing customers but give the page less influence beyond its regular audience.

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 three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

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.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.
  • 3
    On-page scoreMost checks on your home page pass, so someone clicking through from a search gets a page that opens quickly and says what it is.

    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The business covers 63% of the week's customer traffic, but Saturday and Sunday closures leave busy customer periods uncovered. On Saturday from 9am to 3pm, customers find the clinic closed and cannot be served. The business should open Saturday from 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of that period.
