01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy shows solid Google Business listing health with a 7.1/10, above average. Highlights include a claimed listing, clear phone number and website link, and an open-for-business status that helps customers plan visits. The main room for improvement is the listing description, which now sits in the bottom half and should move toward the local midpoint.

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 listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Your reviews

PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy shows a below-average health score with room for improvement in responding to Google reviews. The business has taken its first step with at least one review, and its overall rating confidence and total review count suggest momentum that can be built on.

    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.

    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.

The business ranks for top themes such as physical therapy clinic and sports medicine clinic in christchurch centre, but positions are modest. The priority is to strengthen local visibility to attract more local patients.

Where customers find you

The health of PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy's citations and social presence is very high, with an 8.8/10 score. The strongest outcomes are the outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, already earning very high trust scores, which support broad reach and credibility. Key opportunities exist in expanding presence on Neighbourly, LinkedIn Company, Yellow Directory, and adding TikTok to reach younger audiences.

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.

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 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.
  • ✓
    What your page says about youFew intros in this market run as full as yours, and it sits close to the limit that length has stopped being a lever.

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 pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy shows an above-average on-page health score of 5.9 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating solid foundations with room to improve. The business has strong assets, including a correctly sized title tag, a valid favicon, a relevant meta description, an efficient page size, and an SEO-friendly URL. Key fixes focus on meta description gaps, render-blocking resources, mixed content, and avoiding frames.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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
    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
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to you than half the businesses here, so search engines have a reasonable number of routes into your site.

How people find you on Google

PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy shows a solid overall health of 7.4 out of 10 for website traffic, indicating healthy visibility but room for improvement. The strongest positive is solid organic traffic in the 50-75% local band, while paid traffic has not yet been measured. Focus on initiating a small paid campaign and refining content and link-building to lift rankings and value.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

PodiatryMed & Physiotherapy has some strong alignment with Christchurch demand but overall timing is narrow. Open hours match peak demand on Monday early afternoon and Tuesday mid-morning, yet the practice is closed during several popular mid-week windows. Total weekly open hours align for 17 peak hours while 48 high-demand hours remain missed, suggesting a rework of mid-week availability could help capture more patients.
