Your reviews

Tam Dental Group has an average Google review health score of 5.7 out of 10. Its high star rating is a clear strength and helps shape customer impressions before they read individual reviews. The main gaps are an incomplete response rate and a review count below the local market midpoint. More consistent replies and regular review requests would strengthen trust over time.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Tam Dental Group has an above average Citations & Social Presence health score of 6.6 out of 10. Its Facebook profile has strong trust association, and an Infobel listing is visible. The main gaps are missing Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn profiles, plus an absent Healthpoint listing, limiting where customers can confirm and find the Auckland practice.

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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/tam_dental_group_cosmetic_general_dentistry) 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.

Your Facebook page

Tam Dental Group's Facebook page is in very high health, with a 9.7 out of 10 score. It has 12,020 followers, a business-named page address, a phone number, street address and a link to the business's own domain. The main focus is keeping the page current, maintaining recent recommendations, and ensuring the existing intro remains accurate for visitors.

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 2
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

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.
  • ✓
    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
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are spread across a fair range of sites for a profile this size, and the mix of link types looks ordinary.
  • 3
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Tam Dental Group's hours cover 65% of the week's customer traffic, but five open hours fall in quiet times, so the hours are pointed away from demand. Saturday 9am to 3pm is closed while customers are busy, so they meet a closed door. Tam Dental Group should open Saturday 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of that period.
