Your Google listing

Taha Car Collection shows a very high overall health on Google Business Listing with a 9.1/10. This indicates strong completeness and control over the listing. The most important findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, and that the website link and phone number are present for easy customer actions.

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 opportunity

  • 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.

Your reviews

Taha Car Collection shows a 4.0 health score, which is below average for Google reviews. The business has opportunities to improve in rating confidence and star rating by analysing which component is dragging performance and addressing recurring issues in recent feedback, while also boosting visibility through more reviews.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

I sold my truck to these guys.their service was awesome. Came on time and paid me cash. I would say they are the best cash for old or wrecked cars. I would try them again and appreciate their business.

Where you show up on the map

Taha Car Collection shows modest overall health in Google Maps with a score of 5.1 out of 10. The business ranks well for several local themes such as auto wrecker services in Ōtara and surrounding South Auckland areas, indicating strong visibility in its core neighbourhoods. The key opportunity lies in boosting local suburb visibility while maintaining broader reach.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Taha Car Collection shows above-average health for social presence at 6.4 out of 10, indicating some reach but room for improvement. The top findings point to missing active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, plus listings on TikTok, Yellow Pages and the directory. Addressing these gaps will strengthen discovery and trust with local customers.

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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/car-removal-and-scrap-auto-wreckers-auckland-taha-car-collection) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/taha-car-collection) found via: Google search results.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Taha Car Collection's Facebook page has a Below average health level, with a health score of 3.6 out of 10. The page has 1,297 followers, a published phone number and email address, and a link to the business's own website. The main customer-facing gaps are the missing street address and a short introduction that does not explain who the service suits.

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
    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.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hours are well aimed based on the available health assessment. No closed-hours window is listed because no market demand data was recorded for the week, so no specific closed period can be named. No busiest hours can be identified without demand data, so there is no change to apply that would let customers arrive or be served during a missed busy spell.
