01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Shear Pawfection Ltd shows an average health for its Google Business Listing with room for improvement. The strongest finding is that the listing has a claimed status and a working phone number, confirming control and accessibility for customers. The listing also includes a website link and an open-for-business status, supporting easy customer outreach.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

Shear Pawfection Ltd shows a solid overall Google review health of 6.3 out of 10, above average. The top achievement is a star rating in the top 10%, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. Opportunities focus on increasing total reviews, boosting listing confidence, and sustaining a responsive review rate to build further trust with customers.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Where customers find you

Health is average at 5.7/10, indicating moderate presence and trust in local platforms. The business has a strong Facebook presence, which supports visibility and trust with customers, a solid base to build from. The most important finding is the need to expand to additional platforms to reach broader audiences and improve overall health.

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.
  • ✓

Top three opportunities

  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 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
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

Your hours against demand

Shear Pawfection Ltd shows a mixed temporal fit with local demand. Most scheduled hours align with busy mid-afternoon searches on weekdays, especially Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Wednesday 4pm. However, several high-demand slots on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons remain closed. No low-demand open hours were identified, suggesting no clear waste. Adjusting a few evening and Sunday hours could capture missed bookings without adding unnecessary shifts.
