Your Google listing

The Villa Canine Boutique shows a very high overall health on Google Business Listing, with a 9.6/10 score indicating strong completeness and optimisation. The most notable findings are that the listing has a live website link and a claimed status, plus an accurate open-for-business status, and a visible phone number.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

The Villa Canine Boutique shows a below-average health score on Google reviews, but customers can see strong satisfaction through its stellar rating and growing review base. The top finding is a high star rating in the top 10%, indicating solid customer satisfaction, while no responses to reviews limits trust-building with clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

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
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

The Villa Canine Boutique shows a low overall health in Google Maps search visibility, with a 2.3 out of 10. This indicates limited exposure, though there is some presence in broader maps queries and the local borough. Top opportunities focus on increasing aggregate visibility and maintaining momentum to reach top borough performers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.

Where customers find you

The Villa Canine Boutique shows a low overall health on social presence (2.0/10) with few active profiles, though Facebook is outstanding and highly trusted. This indicates strong performance on Facebook but major gaps across other platforms, limiting reach and trust locally.

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.
  • ✓

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The Villa Canine Boutique's opening hours show clear strengths and gaps relative to Christchurch demand. Peak weekday afternoons match well - notably Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday late afternoons - while weekend mid-day demand is missed because the boutique is closed. There are no low-demand open hours, so overall hours are efficient but could capture more weekend enquiries by adding a few midday shifts on Saturday or Sunday.
