01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Tavendale and Partners shows a solid basic presence on Google, with a claimed listing, phone number and website link. The overall health is 6.4/10, indicating above-average completeness but room for improvement. The most important finding is the listing description is missing or too brief, which limits the ability to attract and inform potential clients.

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 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.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Tavendale and Partners shows an above-average Google review health score of 5.8/10. The overall health indicates room for improvement, with the strongest momentum in rating confidence and existing reviews, but no reviewer responses yet. A steady level of consumer trust is shown by the upper median and rising star rating, while response activity remains a clear gap.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Tavendale and Partners shows a below-average health score in Google Maps search results, indicating limited local visibility. The top finding is that its strongest performing keywords are clustered around Avondale and surrounding areas, with multiple positions ranking at the top. The aggregate score indicates progress but ongoing work is needed to raise visibility across more local suburbs.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Tavendale and Partners shows a very high health score of 9.5, indicating strong social presence and directory trust. The strongest current assets are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing. The main finding is that TikTok, GrabOne and Neighbourly profiles are missing, which limits reach to younger audiences and local shoppers.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/tavendaleandpartners) found via: Google search results, Your website.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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 pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3
    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

Tavendale and Partners' on-page health is 7.9 out of 10, indicating solid technical foundations with room to improve. The most notable findings show strong favicon, HTTPS-secure resources, an SEO-friendly URL, and a precise title tag. Opportunities focus on reducing render-blocking resources, speeding up page load times, and fine-tuning the meta description and title tag to sit in ideal character ranges for readability and SEO impact.

Strengths

  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than most of this market, so search engines see a wide spread of independent sites vouching for you.

How people find you on Google

Tavendale and Partners shows strong overall health for Website Traffic, with a score of 7.6 out of 10. The most notable finding is that organic traffic is already in the top local 10%, indicating solid visibility and engagement. There is a clear path to further gains by maintaining content quality and link-building while exploring modest paid activity.

Your hours against demand

Tavendale and Partners' published hours align well with weekday midday demand: open during high-search periods such as Tuesday 12-1pm, Wednesday 12pm, and Thursday 10-11am. However, the firm misses several popular windows when closed - notably weekend afternoons (Saturday 10am, Sunday 1-2pm) and an early Friday 8am slot. No low‑demand open hours were found.
