Your Google listing

Scott & Co's Google Business Listing shows a very low health score, highlighting the need for updates to basic fields and status. The strongest findings are that a phone number, full address and a main image are present, while crucial elements are missing or incomplete. Overall health should improve with targeted, verifiable updates.

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

Scott & Co shows a below-average overall Google Business health (3.2/10) but reveals a solid strength in customer satisfaction, with a top-10% star rating. The business is just starting to collect reviews and has not yet responded to any, indicating room for more engagement. Focus on consistent responses and continued review collection to gradually raise overall confidence.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where customers find you

The overall health is low, with a score of 2.3 out of 10. This indicates limited presence on social platforms and local directories, which constrains reach and trust. The most important finding is the absence of active profiles on primary platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and missing directory listings like Neighbourly and Yellow Directory. LinkedIn is present but the overall footprint remains narrow.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Scott & Co has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment cannot be measured against local demand patterns. Without recorded hours, it is impossible to identify specific periods where the firm is open during high-demand windows, closed during popular times, or open during low-demand hours. Publishing accurate opening hours is the first step to unlock meaningful scheduling insights and improve the health score.
