01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows solid profile health with room to strengthen the listing description and photo library. The listing has essential basics in place, including a claimed status, website link, phone number, and open-for-business status, contributing to reliable visibility for local clients.

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 gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    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

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows an above-average health score for Google reviews, indicating solid performance overall. The top achievement is a star rating in the top 10%, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is improving the response rate to reviews, which can build trust even when responding to both positive and negative feedback.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows an average health score of 5.3 out of 10 for Google Maps search performance, indicating moderate visibility with room to improve. Top findings include a solid aggregate presence above the bottom bracket and a borough presence that has risen out of the bottom quartile. Focus should be on expanding visibility across more local suburbs.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows an above-average health score of 6.3 out of 10 for citation and social presence, indicating solid visibility with opportunities to improve in several areas. The strongest current asset is the very high trust Facebook profile, while LinkedIn shows a personal profile presence that supports credibility. Remaining opportunities lie in TikTok, Fresha, LinkedIn Company pages, and Yellow Directory listings, with room to strengthen profiles and consistency.

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.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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
    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.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows an overall on-page SEO health score of 6.8 out of 10, indicating above-average performance with room to improve. The business has a valid favicon, HTTPS content, a relevant meta description, an SEO-friendly URL and a precise title tag. The main opportunities lie in reducing load time, refining the meta description length, and avoiding frames to improve indexability and user experience.

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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Secure content linksThe links on your site point at secure versions of your pages, so nobody is sent through an unnecessary redirect on the way in.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

OnSceneMedia Ltd shows a solid overall health score for website traffic, indicating a strong base of visitors and a good keyword footprint.

Your hours against demand

OnSceneMedia Ltd's opening hours largely match local demand, especially mid-day weekdays, with 80 peak-aligned hours and no missed high-demand windows. Strong midday alignment on Monday (11am-2pm) and Wednesday (12pm) supports capture of active search traffic. Some low-demand open hours (34 weekly) - early mornings and late evenings - could be trimmed or moved to appointment-only times to reduce cost without losing demand.
