01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows an overall healthy Google Business Listing presence with a 3.8 out of 10 health score, indicating room for improvement. Key strengths include ownership of the listing and visible contact details, with a working website link and phone number. Primary opportunity lies in adding a logo and expanding the photo gallery to enhance visibility and credibility.

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
    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.

Your reviews

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows a below-average health score with room to improve in customer engagement. The top finding is that no reviews have been answered yet, which can erode trust. Other positives include having visible progress in review volume and overall rating trend, indicating customers are leaving feedback and there is early momentum to build on.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows an exceptionally high overall health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating strong visibility in Google Maps searches. The borough-specific score is already outstanding, placing the practice in the top tier locally. The main takeaway is sustained prominence in targeted searches, with room to tighten further and slowly climb broader map queries.

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 fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.

Where customers find you

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows an above-average health score of 6.3 out of 10, indicating a stable social presence with solid trust on Facebook and Instagram. The strongest current strengths are highly trusted Facebook and Instagram profiles, suggesting reliable reach and branding. Immediate opportunities lie in expanding profiles on other platforms to connect with new 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.
  • ✓
    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.

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 pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 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
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows a workable on-page SEO health with a score of 5.7 out of 10. The site already has a valid favicon, adequate text content, a relevant meta description and title tag, and a page size under 256KB. Key findings point to gaps in H1 presence, meta description length, title tag length around the edges, and no frames, with opportunities to improve the on-page SEO score and meta description and title tag health.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

Rolleston Veterinary Services shows an average overall health of 5.2/10 for website traffic, indicating room for improvement. The key finding is strong organic traffic, ranking in the local top decile, while paid traffic metrics remain undeveloped. The business should build on organic momentum while beginning small paid campaigns to measure impact.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Rolleston Veterinary Services' published hours align well with mid-week late-afternoon demand, particularly Tuesday 3-4pm, Wednesday 4pm and Thursday 3-4pm, when the clinic is open during high search activity. There are no low-demand open hours, which keeps operating time efficient. However, closure at 6pm on several weekdays leaves evening demand unmet and may lose appointments from working clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.

Where we can help
