Your Google listing

Janice Sommerville Ltd has a high Google Business Listing health score of 7.5 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website link, phone number, trading status and claimed status, giving customers clear ways to find and contact the practice. The main gap is category fit, while the existing photo and description coverage should be maintained and reviewed periodically.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Janice Sommerville Ltd has an average Google review health score of 5.4 out of 10. The business has a relatively established review presence, but the rating is below the local midpoint and only a small share of reviews has received a response. Consistent replies and a regular focus on recurring themes in lower reviews would help strengthen customer confidence over time.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.

    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

The team were amazing. They are super efficient with everyone knowing what their role is. Steps were explained and I was reassured by staff who had been through what I was about to undergo.

Response from the owner

Where you show up on the map

Janice Sommerville Ltd has a low Maps Search Performance health score of 2.8 out of 10, indicating limited visibility across Google Maps searches. The practice ranks strongly for several searches in Somerville, including position one for orthodontist, but it is not appearing consistently in searches from its own suburb. Improving local visibility and reach across surrounding suburbs remains the main opportunity.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbWe are not seeing you in Maps searches in your own suburb, which is the search a customer standing a street away actually makes.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

Janice Sommerville Ltd has an above average Citations & Social Presence health score of 5.9 out of 10. Its Facebook presence is strongly associated with the practice, providing a reliable third-party signal. The main gaps are missing Instagram and TikTok profiles, along with absent listings on Dentist NZ, OpenLocally and ServiceFinder, which limits visibility for customers checking these platforms.

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

Janice Sommerville Ltd's Facebook page has a high health level, with the essentials in place for customers to make contact. The page has 368 followers, a business-named address, a phone number, email address, street address and a link to the practice's own domain. Its main limitations are a shorter introduction and an audience that is large enough to reassure existing customers but less likely to reach new ones.

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

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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.

    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Janice Sommerville Ltd covers 65% of the week's customer traffic, but its hours point away from demand because five open hours fall in quiet times. Saturday 9am to 3pm is closed while customers are active, so they meet a closed door. Janice Sommerville Ltd should open Saturday 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served when demand is highest.
