01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

PAWS Vets shows solid overall health for its Google Business Listing at 7.1 out of 10, indicating above-average completeness with room to improve further. Key strengths include a claimed profile, an open-for-business status, and a visible phone number and website link. The business should continue enhancing the description and add fresh photos to strengthen local standing.

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 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
    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.
  • 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

PAWS Vets shows a very strong overall health on Google reviews, with a 9.7/10 health score. The business has a solid reputation and high engagement, particularly in total reviews and social proof, while customers consistently rate and engage well. The primary finding is a strong review volume and positive sentiment, with room to improve the response rate and rating confidence toward top-10 performance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.
  • 2
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating is higher than most of this market, and it is the first thing a customer reads about you.

Where you show up on the map

PAWS Vets shows a below-average overall health for Google Maps search visibility (3.0/10). The top findings indicate growing borough presence and steady broad maps visibility, with strong performance for several veterinary terms. Opportunities exist to improve both the aggregate score and the suburb score, focusing on consistent listing updates and local relevance.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

PAWS Vets shows health on social presence with a low overall score, reflecting limited activity across platforms. The strongest current asset is an outstanding Facebook profile and a solid Yellow Directory listing, which support local visibility. The main finding is the absence of active profiles on several channels that could broaden reach.

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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/paws_vets) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

PAWS Vets shows a below-average on-page SEO health with a 4.3/10, indicating room for improvement in technical elements. Key strengths include a valid favicon, adequate text content, no frames, HTTPS on all resources, and a relevant meta description. The most important finding is the lack of an H1 tag and opportunities to optimise the meta description and title tag lengths.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 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
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.

How people find you on Google

PAWS Vets shows a mixed traffic health score with room for improvement. The main finding is that paid traffic is currently undetectable and organic value sits mid-range, suggesting attention to paid campaigns and ongoing organic optimisations.

Strengths

    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

PAWS Vets' opening hours partially match local demand: 49 well-aligned peak hours but 33 missed high-demand hours and no low-demand open hours. Strong alignment occurs weekday afternoons-Tuesday 3-4pm, Wednesday 4pm, and Thursday 3-4pm-when searches are highest. Missed opportunities include weekday early mornings (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at 8am) and Saturday noon. Consider modestly extending morning or Saturday coverage.
