01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Ms J M Sheehan Waltham Dental shows a very low overall Google Business Listing health, indicating limited completeness and optimisation. The most important findings are the lack of a website link and that the listing is not claimed, which restricts management and customer access. Address, phone and main image are present, but more details are needed to improve discoverability and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.

Your reviews

Ms J M Sheehan Waltham Dental shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, indicating room for improvement. The practice already holds a top 10% star rating, reflecting strong patient satisfaction, and has begun collecting more reviews. Key next focus areas include increasing engagement with reviews and growing total review counts to boost confidence and visibility.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps Search Performance health is 3.7 out of 10, indicating below average visibility. Top findings show strengths for several Waltham keywords (ranked in the top 3) such as cosmetic dentist, dental clinic, dental implants provider, endodontist, orthodontist, periodontist and prosthodontist in Waltham, suggesting a solid local niche. The borough presence has improved and sits above the bottom quartile, offering a clear path to incremental gains.

Top two opportunities

    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.

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Your hours against demand

Ms J M Sheehan Waltham Dental has no recorded opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured. The health score is very low (0.6/10) because hours are missing. Until hours are published, it is not possible to show when the practice is open during peak search times, closed during popular hours, or open during low-demand windows.
