01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Onehunga Dental Centre's Google Business Listing health is below average at 3.8 out of 10. The listing has a business name, website link, phone number, open status and claimed status, giving customers a usable base for finding and contacting the practice. The main gaps are the missing description and logo, along with fewer photos than most nearby listings.

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
    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.
  • 2
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Onehunga Dental Centre's Google review performance is Average, with a health score of 4.5 out of 10. The main concerns are a low response rate, a rating below half of local peers, and a review count below the market middle. Together, these measures reduce confidence for customers comparing the practice with other local dental businesses.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.

    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

Onehunga Dental Centre has a high Google Maps health score of 7.6 out of 10. It ranks first for several important Onehunga searches, including dentist, dental clinic, emergency dental service and specialist services. The main opportunity is broader visibility across surrounding suburbs, where competitors appear more often. Continued reviews may help strengthen reach beyond Onehunga.

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 more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Onehunga Dental Centre has an Average health score of 4.3 out of 10 for citations and social presence. The main gaps are missing active Instagram and TikTok profiles, while the Facebook page is difficult to verify because it is not linked from the website or Google listing. Missing Infobel and Cylex listings also reduce the practice's visibility for customers using these platforms.

Strengths

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Onehunga Dental Centre's Facebook page is above average, with a health score of 6.9 out of 10. The page gives customers clear ways to make contact through its phone number, email address and street address, and its link points to the business's own website. The main gaps are a smaller follower audience, only 2 recommendations, and an intro that does not clearly explain its services or location.

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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

Your hours against demand

Onehunga Dental Centre covers 78% of the week's customer traffic, with its hours largely aimed at busy periods and a Saturday gap remaining. Saturday 9am to 3pm is closed while customers are active, so they meet a closed door. Onehunga Dental Centre should open Saturday 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of that gap.
