01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing for Philip Antony Mortgage Adviser shows low overall health with clear room for improvement. Overall health is 1.9 out of 10, indicating limited completeness and optimisation. The listing already includes a website link, claimed status, a visible title, a listed phone number and Open-for-Business status, which are positives. The two most impactful findings are the absence of a logo and the relatively sparse photos folder, alongside a modest description.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

The overall health is 3.5 out of 10, indicating below average Google review performance. The business holds a strong Google star rating in the top 10% and has a solid number of reviews, but it has not yet engaged with any reviews publicly. Addressing review responses could improve customer trust and perceived responsiveness.

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

Philip Antony Mortgage Adviser shows a very high Maps health score of 9.9 out of 10, indicating strong overall visibility. Top findings include solid aggregate score with visibility at or above the local median and suburb-level performance in the top 25% of the borough. The main opportunity is to push toward the top 10% by refining the Google Business Listing.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

The strongest current asset is LinkedIn, with both Company and Profile listings active and accurate, helping reach local clients. Key gaps are Instagram and TikTok presence and missing GrabOne and Neighbourly listings, which limit discovery and trust signals.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.

Your hours against demand

Philip Antony Mortgage Adviser has a high temporal health score (8.1/10) but city-level demand data is unavailable, so exact hour-level alignment cannot be determined. The report therefore recommends reviewing local search patterns and client enquiry times to confirm where current opening hours match peak demand, and to check for any closed hours that may represent missed opportunities.
