Your Google listing

Team Dental Riccarton shows strong health on Google Business Listing with a score of 8.2 out of 10. The listing has a verified claim, a visible title, an open-for-business status, a direct phone number, and a website link. Two key findings are the ongoing photo improvements and the mid-to-high quality description that's already surpassing many peers.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.

Where you show up on the map

The overall health in Maps Search Performance for Team Dental Riccarton sits at a 4.0 out of 10, indicating below average visibility. Top findings show strong ranking for several key terms in Riccarton and Upper Riccarton, especially for pediatric dentistry and emergency dental services, suggesting solid local relevance but room to improve city-wide and borough presence.

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

Team Dental Riccarton shows solid health with a score of 7.4 out of 10, indicating a generally strong social and directory presence. The most notable findings are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, suggesting strong audience engagement and branding. Opportunities lie in expanding presence on TikTok, Yellow, Tiktok Directory, GrabOne and Neighbourly to reach broader or different customer segments.

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.
  • ✓

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 cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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

Team Dental Riccarton shows a very high overall on-page SEO health score of 8.9 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation. Key strengths include a 50-60 character title tag, a valid favicon, presence of an H1 tag, a good text-to-page size ratio, and a relevant meta description that describes page content clearly. Opportunities focus on fine-tuning meta and structure further.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.

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
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.

Your hours against demand

Team Dental Riccarton's opening hours largely match local demand: 51 weekly hours align with peak search periods, especially Tuesday 10-11am and 2-3pm and Wednesday 11am. Missed high-demand windows include early mornings (Tue, Thu, Wed at 8am), Wednesday 5pm and Saturday 2pm. No low-demand open hours were found. Consider modest early-morning or Saturday openings to capture missed 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.
