Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Image3 shows a low overall health score, reflecting several gaps in the Google Business Listing that limit visibility and engagement. The strongest signs are that the listing already has a phone number, full address and a main image, and it is displayed as open for business. Two key findings stand out: no listing owner claim and no website link, plus a minimal description and few photos.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 3
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Image3 shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in reputation and customer trust. The top findings are the lack of responses to reviews and very few total reviews, which can deter new customers. Encouraging happy clients to leave positive feedback and starting a consistent review-response practice are the key steps.

Strengths

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
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Image3 shows a low overall health for Maps Search Performance, with a 2.4 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility in Google Maps. The strongest opportunities lie in increasing aggregate presence across maps searches and improving the borough score where the business is located, North New Brighton.

Strengths

Where customers find you

Image3 shows a very high health score of 9.9 out of 10 for citations and social presence, indicating strong trust and visibility across key platforms. The top finding is outstanding performance on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn, with consistent branding and high trust scores driving credibility with customers. Opportunities include improving Fresha, Yellow, TikTok, Yellow profile, and Neighbourly listings to broaden discoverability.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok 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
    Having a Facebook page at allWe could not find an active Facebook Profile page for your business, so anyone who goes there to check your hours, read your posts or send a message lands on nothing.
  • 2
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Image3 shows a high overall health for on-page SEO, with a score of 7.4 out of 10. The most notable strengths are the well-optimised title tag and a valid favicon, plus a relevant meta description and title tag that clearly reflect page content.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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
    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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Image3 shows a very strong overall health for website traffic, indicating excellent organic performance and solid visibility. The top finding is outstanding organic traffic value and top 10% local SERP coverage, with continued value in refining site experience. There is still room to improve paid channels through structured testing and bid refinement.

Strengths

  • ✓
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth more than almost any business in this market - an enquiry stream with no cost per click behind it.
  • ✓
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws more visitors from search than almost any business in this market - a stream of enquiries arriving at no cost per visit.
  • ✓
    Search terms you rank forYour site appears for more search terms than almost any business in this market, so there are more ways to find you than to find anyone else here.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Image3's opening hours are reasonably aligned with local demand around weekday middays, especially Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday midday. However, several popular evening windows are missed - notably Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Friday late afternoon - while early mornings and Tuesday 6pm are open during lower-demand periods. Adjusting a few evening hours could capture more clients without many extra low-demand hours.
