Your Google listing

Strong Pilates shows a solid overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with a current health of 8.1 out of 10. The business has claimed the listing, a visible title, a website link, open-for-business status, and a phone number, which supports clear customer contact. The main opportunity is to improve the description to move toward the local midpoint.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Where you show up on the map

Strong Pilates shows mid-range health on Google Maps search with a 5.6/10 overall. This indicates reasonable visibility but room to grow, especially in a crowded market. The strongest opportunities lie in cementing the borough presence and maintaining momentum in broader maps queries. Focus on known top keywords to stabilise and gradually improve rankings.

Where customers find you

Strong Pilates shows a very high overall health score (9.0/10) for social and directory presence, indicating strong visibility and trust. Key achievements include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles and an accurate LinkedIn Company listing, which support customer trust and discoverability. The most important takeaway is sustaining these top profiles while addressing gaps in additional platforms.

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.
  • ✓

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strong Pilates shows a low on-page SEO health score of 2.1 out of 10, indicating limited visibility in search results. The most important findings are the absence of a meta description and the lack of an H1 tag, both of which constrain click-through and page clarity. Existing positives include a favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, and secure HTTPS delivery.

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
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.

Strengths

  • ✓
