Your Google listing

Terry Creagh Plastic Surgeon's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score of 4.0 out of 10. The listing has strong basics with a claimed status, a listed phone number and website link, and an active open/closed status, but opportunities remain in the description and branding. Addressing these can improve credibility and engagement for local customers.

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 three 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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

Terry Creagh Plastic Surgeon shows an above-average health score of 6.0/10 in Google reviews, indicating decent performance with room for growth. The most important findings are that the business has not responded to any reviews yet, and that its rating, review count and confidence are improving. Focusing on consistent responses while maintaining good progress on ratings and reviews will build trust with prospective patients.

Strengths

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

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 customers find you

Terry Creagh Plastic Surgeon shows below average health on Marketbase's social and directory presence score, indicating room to improve visibility across local channels. The most critical findings are missing active Facebook and Instagram profiles, plus a lack of presence on TikTok and Neighbourly directories, which limits reach and trust with potential clients.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The On-Page SEO health for Terry Creagh Plastic Surgeon shows a high overall score with clear strengths in loading speed, page size, and an H1 tag. Key findings highlight strong technical setup and secure content, while opportunities focus on refining the title tag and meta description and addressing render-blocking resources to improve performance.

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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Page titleThe length of your headline is near enough now that most of it survives in a search result.

Your hours against demand

Terry Creagh Plastic Surgeon shows an overall average temporal fit with local demand (health score 5.0/10), but specific hour-level alignment cannot be confirmed because no city-level popularity data is available. Without those hourly demand signals, the analysis cannot reliably list which open hours match peak searches, which closed hours miss demand, or which open slots may be inefficient.
