01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Savoir Dog Grooming shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a 7.3/10 health score. Key strengths include a claimed listing, a direct phone number, a website link, and an open/closed status, which helps customers engage easily. The main opportunity is refining the description to stand out, while photos remain solid and support higher rankings.

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
    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 have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

Savoir Dog Grooming shows a solid overall health on Google reviews with a 6.9/10 score and above-average performance. The strongest finding is the outstanding Google Business Rating Confidence, placing the business in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. There is also a strong reviewer base, and progress on engagement with reviews is evident.

Strengths

Where you show up on the map

Savoir Dog Grooming currently shows a very high overall health score for Google Maps search visibility, with strong performance across city-wide results. The business ranks well in the top-5 for key areas, and local presence in the borough is solid. Opportunity exists to maintain momentum and push further into top performers by continuing to prioritise map visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Where customers find you

Savoir Dog Grooming shows a healthy presence in local directories but overall social presence health scores very low at 0.7. The strongest achievements are accurate listings on Yellow Directory, LinkedIn, and GrabOne, helping local visibility. Key opportunities include improving trust on Facebook, boosting Instagram trust, and creating or claiming TikTok-related listings for broader reach.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/savoir-dog-grooming-579435619) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/savoir-dog-grooming-papanui) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe turned up your Facebook Profile page, but only barely, and nothing you own points at it - your website does not link to it and it is not on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 3
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

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

    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.

Your website

Savoir Dog Grooming's on-page health is below average, with a 3.7 out of 10. Key findings include missing on-page SEO score, no detectable title tag, and no meta description on the homepage, which reduce search visibility and click-through rates for local dog grooming queries.

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

    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

Savoir Dog Grooming shows an overall health score of 3.9 out of 10 for website traffic, which is below average. The strongest indicators point to limited organic and paid traffic and no top-100 organic keywords, suggesting the site has not yet built a traffic foundation. Priorities are improving both organic and paid visibility to attract more local customers.

Your hours against demand

Savoir Dog Grooming's hours show solid alignment with mid-week afternoon demand, with several 3-4pm slots open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday that match high search activity. However, significant missed demand exists around Sunday late morning to early afternoon and Thursday 5pm, and a small inefficiency appears with an early Saturday opening at 8am that sits in a low-demand slot.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
