The practice is easily accessible, with free onsite parking, early morning appointments and a focus on patient-centred care and convenience.

OrthodontiX Cashmere is an orthodontic practice located at the Dyers Pass Road end of Colombo Street in the Cashmere area of Christchurch. It is one of two OrthodontiX clinics in the Canterbury region and serves patients across age groups from its Colombo Street address.

The clinic offers orthodontic consultations and treatment aimed at contributing to dental health and the longevity of dentition, and at times addressing appearance.

Customers commonly report friendly, accommodating service and quality care. Review themes note staff who are down to earth and helpful, appointments that run smoothly, and instances where the clinic has provided pragmatic, cost-conscious solutions for follow-up problems. Morning appointment availability and on-site parking are mentioned in practice information and align with comments about convenience.

Those seeking orthodontic assessment in the Cashmere area can expect an established practice with regional connections to a second OrthodontiX office in Ashburton.

Your Google listing

OrthodontiX Cashmere shows a healthy presence on Google with a 6.7/10 score, indicating above-average visibility and consistency. The listing already includes a claimed status, a phone number and a website link, and the listing clearly communicates hours. The most notable improvement areas are adding a logo and expanding photos, while the description is strong and well placed.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

OrthodontiX Cashmere shows an above-average health score of 5.9 out of 10, indicating overall stability in Google reviews. Key findings include steady gains in overall star rating and a decent review count, with room to improve engagement and reach. Improvements in response rate and listing reviews reflect ongoing trust-building with customers and prospects.

Top three opportunities

    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.

    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.
  • 3
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where you show up on the map

OrthodontiX Cashmere shows a mid-range health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating solid visibility with room to improve. The strongest results are top rankings for multiple targeted keywords in Cashmere and nearby suburbs, including orthodontist in cashmere, huntsbury, opawa, somerfield and st martins, which supports steady patient inquiries.

Strengths

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 the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

OrthodontiX Cashmere shows very low overall health score for social presence at 0.2/10, indicating limited visibility across key platforms. The most important findings are missing active profiles on Instagram and Facebook, and no visible TikTok presence. A Yellow Directory listing and LinkedIn Company page are also not active. Focus should be on establishing core profiles and consistent listings.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

OrthodontiX Cashmere shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 9.6/10, indicating strong technical foundations. The most notable findings are an excellent Title Tag within the ideal length and a valid favicon, both enhancing click-through potential and brand recognition. HTTPS content is secure, and the page has adequate text content to inform visitors.

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.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

OrthodontiX Cashmere's opening hours partially match local demand: several mid-morning and afternoon Tuesday and Wednesday slots align well with peak searches, but notable Friday mid-morning and early afternoon peaks occur while closed. Total weekly open hours are 36 with 36 well-aligned peak hours and 39 missed high-demand hours. No low-demand open hours were identified, suggesting hours are not wasteful but miss Friday demand.
