01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Physical Sense shows a low overall health on Google Business Listing, with clear gaps in branding and visual content. The strongest points are having a website link, a listed phone number, and a claimed status, which support customer access and trust. The main concern is insufficient description and branding elements that help convert searchers.

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 lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 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

Physical Sense shows an above-average health score for Google reviews, indicating overall solid performance with room for small improvements. The business has a very strong base of total reviews, and the top achievement is a high ranking in review count and social proof. The key opportunity is to improve engagement by responding to reviews and to continue refining the service experience to lift ratings toward the midpoint and beyond.

Top three opportunities

    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
    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
    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.

Where customers find you

Physical Sense shows a low overall health for social presence at 2.7/10, indicating limited reach across platforms and directories. The strongest current strength is the Facebook profile, rated very high for trust, suggesting solid engagement there. Key opportunities focus on expanding presence on Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly, LinkedIn and Yellow Directory to raise visibility and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Healthpoint ListingWe can see your Healthpoint Listing listing (https://healthpoint.co.nz/physical-sense) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Physio NZ MemberWe can see your Physio NZ Member listing (https://physio.org.nz/1123) 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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Physical Sense shows a very low on-page SEO health score, indicating several critical gaps on the homepage. The most impactful findings are the absence of a meta description and a title tag, plus a missing favicon and a page size over 256KB that affects load times.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Your hours against demand

However, the clinic is closed during Wednesday 2-4pm and Thursday 9-10am-21 high-demand hours missed. There are no low-demand open hours.
