01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Strong Pilates shows a healthy listing with room for improvement. Overall health is 4.4 out of 10, indicating the listing is functional but not fully optimised. Key strengths include a claimed listing, a live status, a visible title, a website link and a phone number. The most important opportunities focus on adding a logo, refining the description, and growing photo coverage.

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
    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.
  • 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

Strong Pilates shows a very high overall health on Google reviews, with a 9.5/10 health score and top-10% standing for ratings and total reviews. The standout finding is outstanding customer satisfaction and a strong social proof position. The main area for improvement is engaging with customers by replying to reviews, which will help build trust among prospects.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Strong Pilates shows a below-average health score on Google Maps at 3.6 out of 10, indicating limited overall visibility. The top finding is a solid local presence in several well-ranked neighbourhood keywords, notably pilates studio in christchurch centre (Pos 1) and pilates studio in richmond (christchurch city) (Pos 2). The opportunity lies in growing aggregate and borough visibility to climb toward the local midpoint.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Strong Pilates shows a below-average overall health score of 4.1 out of 10, indicating limited third-party presence and trust overall. The strongest finding is a very high-trust Facebook profile, reflecting a solid, authoritative base for customer engagement. Opportunities exist across TikTok, LinkedIn, Yellow Pages and related directories for broader reach.

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

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 3
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

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 pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strong Pilates shows an below-average on-page SEO health, at 3.8 out of 10, indicating room for improvement mainly in meta description, title tag, and URL structure. Notable strengths include a valid favicon, presence of an H1 tag, a relevant meta description, HTTPS security, and a solid text count that supports page usefulness.

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.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

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
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Strong Pilates has strong alignment with local demand in weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, notably Tuesday 5-6pm and Thursday 5-6pm plus Saturday 9am. Missed opportunities appear primarily on Saturdays (10am-12pm and 3pm) and Friday 7pm. A single low-demand open hour is Saturday 6am. Consider shifting the 6am slot and testing a Saturday mid-morning class or a Friday 7pm session to capture unmet demand.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
