Your Google listing

Svs's Google Business Listing shows a very low health level given incomplete setup, with the main strengths already present like a title, website link, phone number, full address and a main image. The two strongest findings are the verified basic details and the main image, while there is significant room to improve listing completeness and visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Svs shows a very low overall health score on Google Reviews, indicating substantial room for improvement. The most important findings are that the rating confidence has begun to rise but remains fragile, and there is no response to any reviews yet, which hurts customer trust. Encouraging more reviews is a solid step to increase overall score and visibility.

  • 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.

    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

Svs shows a low health score on Google Maps at 1.9 out of 10, indicating limited overall visibility. Top findings include strong performance for several veterinary pharmacy keywords across Halswell, Harewood-Chr Christchurch Airport, Hillmorton, Russley, Spreydon and Upper Riccarton, with Wigram appearing at position 5. There is a clearer need to improve local borough presence.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

    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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Svs shows a low overall health score with room for improvement, notably in social profiles beyond Facebook. The most notable finding is an outstanding Facebook presence with a very high trust score, while other platforms lack activity.

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

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
    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 most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 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

Svs shows a very low on-page SEO health score, highlighting critical gaps in meta tags and structure. The most important findings are missing homepage Title Tag and Meta Description, which hurt visibility and click-through rates, and the absence of a valid favicon. These issues indicate the site lacks baseline on-page optimisation that search engines rely on to understand content and rank appropriately.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Svs's website traffic health is very low, reflecting limited organic and paid activity. Key findings show near zero organic traffic value and no organic rankings in the top 100, while paid traffic is also not established. Priorities include publishing local content, improving on-page SEO, and starting small paid campaigns with clear landing pages to begin building visibility.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Svs has no published opening hours, so algorithmic alignment with local demand cannot be measured. Without hours, there are no identified periods of strong alignment with high-demand windows, nor specific missed opportunities where the clinic is closed during popular search times. Adding accurate opening hours is the first practical step to reveal where the clinic currently matches or misses customer demand.
