Your Google listing

Pegasus Bay Vets shows a very healthy Google Business Listing with a score of 9.8 out of 10. The listing is claimed and verified, displays open-for-business status, includes a title, website link and phone number. The strongest current asset is listing completeness, with photos already meeting local expectations. Opportunities lie mainly in continuing photo updates for higher rankings.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

The strongest recent achievement is a top-tier star rating, while opportunities lie in improving engagement with reviews and increasing total review count to reach the midpoint.

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 countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Pegasus Bay Vets shows a very low overall health score on Google Maps at 1.4 out of 10, indicating limited visibility. Top findings include a reasonable presence in broader maps queries and a minimal local, borough-based footprint. The business should focus on improving both overall map visibility and local borough performance to attract more local clients.

Where customers find you

Pegasus Bay Vets shows a very high health score for social presence at 8.9/10, indicating strong credibility across major profiles. The strongest recent wins are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, with high trust scores, and an up-to-date LinkedIn listing. Key opportunity is to extend presence on several local and deal directories to improve discoverability and trust among local clients.

Strengths

  • ✓

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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Pegasus Bay Vets shows a low overall on-page SEO health score of 2.1 out of 10. The site has a valid favicon, an H1 tag, a relevant meta description, no frames, and page load time under 3 seconds. The two most important issues are missing meta description and suboptimal title tag length. Addressing these could help click-through and clarity.

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 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.

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
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 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.

How people find you on Google

Pegasus Bay Vets shows below-average overall website traffic health, with room to improve paid and organic visibility. The key findings are that paid traffic is not yet measurable and paid spend is unclear, while organic traffic value remains above the 25th percentile and organic total is improving. Focus on small, targeted paid campaigns and continued SEO fundamentals.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Pegasus Bay Vets' published hours fit well with afternoon demand on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (3-4pm), where the clinic is open during the city's busiest windows. Several weekday mornings around 8am are missed opportunities-Monday through Friday show notable search activity while the clinic is closed. No low-demand open hours were identified, so efficiency appears reasonable.
