Your Google listing

The Mortgage Girls shows strong health on Google Business Listing, with a clear profile and verified status. The overall health is 8.5 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and reliable information for customers. Two key takeaways are the listing is claimed and shows a working phone number, and the website link provides a direct path to learn more.

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
    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.
  • 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

The Mortgage Girls shows a strong overall health of 8.1 out of 10, indicating solid social presence and directory listings. Key strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing, which help reach and trust customers. Opportunities focus on expanding on TikTok and several local directories to broaden discoverability.

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

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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Mortgage Girls shows an above-average on-page SEO health score of 6.6 out of 10. Key strengths include a valid favicon, fast page load under 3 seconds, a relevant title tag, secure content via HTTPS, and a compact page size under 256KB. Opportunities focus on on-page scoring, title tag length, meta description precision, text-to-page size balance, and reducing render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    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
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.

Your hours against demand

Assessment is limited because no city-level demand data is available. The Mortgage Girls' published hours cannot be matched to local peak search times, so no specific hours of strong alignment or clear missed high-demand windows can be identified. Recommend tracking local enquiry patterns, adding appointment slots outside core hours if needed, and reviewing Google search trends to refine opening times.
