01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Pixies Dog Grooming shows strong basics on Google Business Listing health. The overall score is very low at 0.1 out of 10, which means there are multiple critical gaps to address. The most important findings are a missing website link and unclaimed listing, with the listing status unclear. Immediate work should focus on claiming the listing and adding essential details.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

    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 behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where customers find you

Pixies Dog Grooming shows a very high health score of 9.2, indicating a strong social and directory presence. The strongest current assets are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles with very high trust, plus active listings on LinkedIn, Yellow Directory and Neighbourly. The top opportunities are expanding TikTok presence, claiming GrabOne and TikTok Directory, and updating LinkedIn and Yellow listings to improve 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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see the Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/pixies-dog-grooming) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

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
    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 youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Pixies Dog Grooming has a very low on-page SEO health score and shows several critical gaps on the homepage. The most important findings are missing a homepage Title Tag and Meta Description, no valid favicon, and no H1 tag, all of which reduce visibility and click-through potential for local customers.

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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    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.

How people find you on Google

Pixies Dog Grooming shows a very low overall health score for website traffic, with limited organic and paid activity. The key findings point to near zero organic traffic value and no organic rankings in the top 100, alongside no measurable paid traffic. Improvements should focus on local content, on-page SEO, and a small paid campaign to start capturing customers.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Pixies Dog Grooming currently cannot be matched to local demand because no opening hours are published. Without hours, alignment with high-demand windows cannot be confirmed; there are no recorded periods of strong alignment and multiple potential missed opportunities. Publishing accurate opening times will immediately allow comparison with city-level demand and reveal where hours match or miss peak customer search periods.
