Great service everytime. Amazing staff. Good range of frozen raw dog food options for avoiding beef and chicken also.

Response from the owner2

Thanks Rachel. We appreciate the feedback and love that you love our big range of raw dog food. Having loads of protein options gives dog owners a choice if their dog is allergic to the standard...

Where you show up on the map

Kuri City Doggy Daycare and Raw Food shows a below-average health score in Google Maps performance, with room to improve both the city-wide aggregate and the local borough presence. Top findings show strong rankings for pet groomer queries in Phillipstown area, indicating visibility for grooming-related services but limited local search dominance overall.

Strengths

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

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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Citations and social presence for Kuri City Doggy Daycare and Raw Food shows an above-average health score of 6.5 out of 10, indicating solid online presence but room for improvement. The strongest achievement is a very high trust Facebook profile, while other platforms show mixed results and several key opportunities to grow trust and accessibility include TikTok, Instagram, GrabOne, Yellow Directory, and TikTok Directory.

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
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 2
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 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.

Your Facebook page

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
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 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.

Your website

Kuri City Doggy Daycare and Raw Food shows an excellent on-page health score and solid meta description alignment. The most notable findings are a top-tier on-page SEO score and a perfect meta description length, with a valid favicon and secure content. The main opportunities include refining the title tag length, addressing text-to-page size balance, and removing frames for better indexability.

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.
  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than most of this market, so search engines see a wide spread of independent sites vouching for you.
  • 3
    Page titleA handful of characters separate your headline from fitting a search result exactly.
