Your Google listing

The Whitening Co Ponsonby Studio has an above-average Google Business Listing health score of 6.1 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website link, phone number, trading status and claimed ownership, giving customers reliable basic information. The main opportunities are to expand the description, improve category coverage and keep adding photos to remain competitive locally.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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 Whitening Co Ponsonby Studio has an above average Google review health score of 7.1 out of 10. Its rating and review volume together provide strong confidence for customers, placing the business at the head of the local market on that measure.

These strips are so good!! I’ve tried heaps of brands. Had professional whitening last year and nothing is as good as these. I have two veneers on my upper front teeth which I already needed replacing as the colour is darker but doing these...

Where you show up on the map

The Whitening Co Ponsonby Studio has an Average Maps Search Performance health score of 4.7 out of 10. It ranks strongly for teeth whitening searches across several Auckland suburbs, including Ponsonby, where it appears first. The main gap is local visibility, as the business appears below most businesses in its own suburb despite broad visibility across surrounding areas.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.
  • 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 Whitening Co Ponsonby Studio has a high Citations & Social Presence health score of 8.3 out of 10. Facebook and Instagram profiles are clearly connected to the business, supporting customer trust. The main gap is the absence of an active TikTok account, alongside missing listings on several local directories, which limits visibility for people checking those platforms.

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.

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

The Whitening Co Ponsonby Studio has a very high Facebook Page health level, supported by 12,268 followers, 65 recommendations and clear contact details. The page links to the business's own domain, helping customers move from Facebook to the business's enquiry path. The main gap is the one-line intro, which does not clearly state the service and Ponsonby location for people arriving on the 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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

Your hours against demand

The business covers 83% of the week's customer traffic, and its closed hours are largely well placed against demand. On Sunday from 2pm to 4pm, customers meet a closed door while the market is busy. Extend Sunday hours to 1pm to 4pm so customers can arrive and be served through the afternoon.
