Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The overall health is 6.6 out of 10, indicating above-average listing health with room to improve. The strongest finding is that the listing is claimed and has a visible phone number and website link, supporting direct customer contact. A second key finding is the strong photo presence, while the description remains a focus for improvement.

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 category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.
  • 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

Specsavers Optometrists & Audiology Hornby shows healthy Google review performance with a score of 6.6 out of 10, above average. Key strengths include top 10% for listing reviews and high customer satisfaction. The main opportunity lies in increasing the response rate to reviews while maintaining the solid star rating.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.
  • 3
    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.

    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.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

Your website

Specsavers Optometrists & Audiology Hornby shows an below-average on-page SEO health with a 3.8/10. The most important findings are a missing meta description and title tag on the homepage, and absence of a valid favicon. Addressing these core elements and expanding the homepage content will improve click-through rates and overall SEO baseline for the site.
