Your Google listing

Oral Medicine Ōtautahi shows below average health on Google Listings (3.7/10). The profile has basic information present, including a listed phone and website and an open-for-business status, but gaps remain in branding and visuals. The most important findings are: a claimed listing with a working phone and website, and a basic description in place, yet there is little in the way of photos or a logo, which limits visibility and trust for local customers.

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 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 have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Oral Medicine Ōtautahi shows a very low health score of 0.4/10 for Google Maps search visibility. This indicates limited exposure across maps queries, with some improvement possible by focusing on the aggregate and suburb-specific rankings. The best-performing keywords suggest niche capabilities in endodontics and prosthodontics within Christchurch and Canterbury.

Where customers find you

Oral Medicine Ōtautahi shows a very low social presence health score of 0.8/10, indicating significant gaps in social profiles and local directory listings. The most impactful findings are missing active profiles on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, plus incomplete Yellow and TikTok Directory listings. Addressing these top opportunities will improve discoverability and trust locally.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The on-page health for Oral Medicine Ōtautahi is 6.6 out of 10, which places it above average. The score indicates solid technical foundations with room to improve. Notable findings include a valid favicon, a relevant meta description, an SEO-friendly URL, and no frames. Opportunities to push the score higher focus on adding an H1 tag, refining the meta description length, and balancing page text with size to avoid overly long or short content.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

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.

Your hours against demand

Oral Medicine Ōtautahi's published hours align narrowly with local demand: all 16 open hours fall in midweek peaks on Wednesday midday and afternoon. However the practice misses many high-demand slots - 59 popular hours closed - notably on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. No low-demand open hours were found, so shorter hours match demand pattern but leave clear opportunities to capture additional patient searches.
