Your Google listing

The health of the Google Business Listing for Making Faces is very low, with a 0.0/10 health score. Immediate actions focus on updating basic listing fields to improve visibility and trust. Key strengths show a complete address and a main image already present, which helps customers find and recognise the clinic.

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.
  • ✓
    AddressYour listing carries an address, so the directions button works and Google can match you to searches for your suburb.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.

Your reviews

Making Faces shows a very low health score on Google reviews, indicating potential trust issues. The top two opportunities are to improve overall rating confidence and establish a first star rating by encouraging happy clients to leave reviews, while also starting to respond to all reviews to boost trust and visibility.

Strengths

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

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 customers find you

Making Faces shows a very high health score with strong third-party presence. The Instagram and Facebook profiles are outstanding and well trusted, while Yellow Directory and GrabOne listings enhance visibility. The main opportunity is expanding on underrepresented profiles such as TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly, and Yellow profiling to reach broader audiences.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram 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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/making-faces-579378769) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    LinkedIn CompanyWe could not find an active LinkedIn Company listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Making Faces shows an average on-page SEO health score of 5.3 out of 10, signalling mixed health for the homepage. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a fast-loading page under 256KB, a relevant meta description, a clear title tag, and adequate page text. Primary opportunities focus on improving on-page SEO score, title tag length, meta description range, URL structure, and removing render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Links to your siteMore sites link to you than almost any business in this market, a position built over years and genuinely hard for a competitor to match.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits just outside a workable length, so a searcher either gets less than the space allows or loses the tail of it.
  • 3
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.

How people find you on Google

Making Faces shows a below-average website traffic health, with a 3.7 out of 10. The main takeaways are minimal paid traffic activity and modest organic value, while organic SERP progress is noted but still mid-range. Focused paid experiments and continued organic improvement can help move the metrics over time.

    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.

    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Making Faces currently has no recorded opening-hours data, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured. Without published hours, it is impossible to identify when the clinic is open during high-demand windows or closed during popular search times. Adding accurate opening hours will enable clear insights on peak alignment, missed opportunities and potential low-demand hours that may be inefficient for the clinic to staff.
