01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The overall health is 5.6 out of 10, indicating average health for the Google Business Listing. The strongest existing gains are the claimed status and available contact options, with a website link and phone number present for customers. The listing already shows an open-for-business status and has a title visible to users.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 3
    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

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows overall health around the mid range in Google Reviews, indicating steady but limited traction. Key finding is a strong base of social proof, with listing reviews in the top 10% for the area, while broader health metrics remain room for improvement. Engagement with customers through replies remains a positive trend to grow.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows a high overall health in Google Maps search, with a score of 8.5 out of 10. The strongest opportunities lie in maintaining and improving suburb-level visibility, where ranking sits in the top quartile but could reach the top 10% with continued refinement of the Google Business Listing and local signals.

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 more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows a healthy social presence with a health score of 8.2 out of 10. The strongest strengths are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, delivering high trust and active engagement. LinkedIn is present and discoverable, supporting professional reach. Opportunities lie in completing several local directory profiles and expanding into TikTok to reach younger audiences.

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.

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.

Your Facebook page

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 three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.8 out of 10. This indicates strong technical optimisation for the homepage. Key strengths include precise title tag and meta description lengths, a valid favicon, and a fast, compact page. Opportunities focus on removing frames, improving page speed, and refining SEO-friendly URLs.

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.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.

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.

The standout finding is that organic traffic value and organic traffic total sit in the top percentiles, showing effective discovery and relevance. Paid traffic metrics are also strong, with room to optimise paid spend and SERP footprint further.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

Your hours against demand

The Cosmetic Clinic Riccarton shows strong alignment with local demand, especially on Tuesdays (9am, 10am, 1-3pm), and has only two missed high-demand hours (Wednesday and Thursday 8am). There are a handful of low-demand open hours (Monday 4pm, Wednesday 5pm, Friday mornings, Saturday 2pm) that could be reviewed for efficiency. Overall temporal alignment is high with limited gaps.

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.
