Your Google listing

Mrs Bottomley's Flowers shows an above-average health score of 6.2 out of 10 for its Google Business Listing, indicating solid basic setup with room for refinement. The listing has strong fixed elements like a website link, claimed status, open status, a listing title and phone number. The biggest opportunities lie in expanding the description and maintaining a competitive photo presence.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Where customers find you

Mrs Bottomley's Flowers shows strong social presence with high trust on Facebook and Instagram. Overall health scores 7.6 out of 10, meaning the business is well positioned but there are clear gaps. Two key findings: top platforms already performing well and several missing profiles that could improve local reach, especially on TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly, Yellow and broader LinkedIn presence.

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.
  • ✓

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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Mrs Bottomley's Flowers shows an above-average on-page health score of 6.0 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating solid technical basics with room to improve. Strengths include a valid favicon, a precise and relevant title tag, an H1 tag, adequate page text, and an SEO-friendly URL. Focus on balancing title and meta description lengths and reducing excessive plaintext proportion.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 3
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Mrs Bottomley's Flowers largely aligns its opening hours with key local demand peaks, notably Sunday afternoons (2-4pm), Saturday 2pm and Thursday 11am. However several popular windows are missed: Wednesday 8am and weekday late afternoons such as Thursday and Friday 5pm, plus Sunday 5-6pm. No open hours fall in low-demand periods, so inefficiency from over-opening is minimal.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
