Your Google listing

Kia Kaha Therapy shows a solid Google Business Listing health with a score of 7.8 out of 10. The profile is well populated with essential contact details and a claimed status, indicating good control over information. The most notable findings are the functioning open-for-business status and a present website link and phone number for customers.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 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
    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.

Your reviews

Kia Kaha Therapy shows a high overall Google review health with an 8.2/10 score. The business benefits from a top 10% star rating but has not yet responded to any reviews, which could affect perceived engagement. The current rating confidence is in the excellent range, indicating satisfied customers and solid review volume.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

Kia Kaha Therapy shows a low overall health score on Google Maps search, with room to improve both broad city-wide visibility and local borough presence. Top findings show the business ranks well for several regional physical therapy keywords (in Kaiapoi, Riccarton, Addington-Middleton) but remains limited in overall local map results, especially within its own borough.

Where customers find you

Kia Kaha Therapy shows a low social presence health score of 2.0 out of 10, indicating limited visibility across key platforms. The strongest finding is an active Instagram profile with high trust association, while Facebook, TikTok, Yellow Directory and TikTok Directory are missing or weak. Actionable gaps exist mainly in Facebook, TikTok and directory listings to improve local reach.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The On-Page SEO health for Kia Kaha Therapy is very high, with a health score of 9.8 out of 10. The strongest outcomes include an accurate title tag within the ideal length and a meta description that fits the recommended character range, plus a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, and page load times under 3 seconds. A key finding is that the on-page score is already excellent, with room to fine-tune a few remaining elements.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

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 are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 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

The website traffic health for Kia Kaha Therapy sits at 2.7 out of 10, indicating low overall traffic and limited paid activity. The strongest signal is organic traffic value, which is above the 25th percentile, suggesting some SEO fundamentals are in place. Key opportunities include initiating a small paid campaign and improving paid and organic breadth.

Strengths

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

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.

Your hours against demand

Kia Kaha Therapy's opening hours show partial alignment with local demand: 27 well-aligned peak hours versus 38 missed high-demand hours and no low-demand open hours, indicating focused but incomplete coverage of popular times. The centre is open for key weekday afternoons but misses several mid-morning peaks on Tuesdays and Thursdays; small targeted changes could improve access and commercial return.
