Your Google listing

Polish and White has a high Google Business Listing health score of 8.3 out of 10. The listing is claimed, shows the business as trading, and includes the correct core contact details, website link and business name. The main gap is category fit, as the listing covers less of the local market than nearly every competitor. The description and photo gallery are already comparatively strong.

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
    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
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.
  • 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

Polish and White has a very high Google Business review health score of 8.7 out of 10. Its strongest assets are an exceptionally high star rating and replies to virtually every review, making the listing appear trusted and active. The main priority is maintaining a steady flow of new reviews, which will help protect both review volume and rating confidence over time.

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.
  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 2
    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.

I’m so happy with my results from Polish and White! I chose the ‘Enhance’ in-chair whitening treatment and then followed it up with a week of whitening at home. The difference is amazing! My teeth look so fresh and noticeably brighter — exa...

Where you show up on the map

Polish and White has an Average Maps Search health score of 5.7 out of 10. The business ranks first for teeth whitening searches in Epsom and several surrounding Auckland suburbs, giving it strong visibility across the wider area. The main gap is local suburb performance, where nearby customers may see other businesses first despite the broader reach.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Polish and White's Facebook page has above average health at 6.0 out of 10. Its own website link, phone number, email address and street address give customers clear ways to move from Facebook to an enquiry. The main gaps are that the page has 0 recommendations, only 15 followers, and a Facebook-generated address that does not identify the business.

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
    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 most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

    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.

    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Polish and White's hours are well aligned with demand, covering 71% of weekly customer traffic without opening during quiet periods. Saturday 12pm to 3pm is a missed period, so customers find the studio closed during a busy part of the day. Polish and White should open Saturday 12pm to 3pm so customers can arrive and be served when demand is strongest.
