01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Thrive Massage Therapy's Google Business listing shows a moderate health score with clear strengths. The profile already includes a website link, a listed phone number, and an open-for-business status, with the listing claimed and the title visible. The main opportunity is to expand the description and add more photos to improve visibility and engagement.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 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

Thrive Massage Therapy shows a solid health score with a high star rating, indicating strong customer satisfaction. The most notable finding is the top 10% star rating, and there is concrete progress in total reviews. A key area for improvement is engagement with reviews, as no responses have been recorded yet, which can affect trust among potential 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

Thrive Massage Therapy shows a low overall Maps health score of 2.6 out of 10, indicating limited visibility across Google Maps. Top findings include a strong ranking for several sports massage related terms in local areas, and notably high positions for "sports massage therapist in marshland" and "parkslands" in neighbouring suburbs, suggesting solid keyword relevance but limited borough presence.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

Thrive Massage Therapy shows a very high health score across social presence, with strong Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn presence. The most notable strengths are outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles that indicate trust and active engagement. Opportunities exist mainly in expanding presence on TikTok, Neighbourly, Yellow Directory and LinkedIn to improve discoverability and credibility further.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/thrive-massage-therapy) found via: Google search results.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Thrive Massage Therapy shows an above-average on-page health score of 6.9 out of 10. The strongest findings are an outstanding on-page SEO score (top 10%) and a perfect title tag within 50-60 characters, along with a valid favicon and an SEO-friendly URL. The main opportunity is adding a meta description to improve click-through rates, and addressing render-blocking resources to speed load times.

Strengths

  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Thrive Massage Therapy shows an above-average health score of 5.8/10 for website traffic, indicating reasonably stable visibility but room for improvement. Key takeaways: organic traffic value is mid-range, and organic rankings are in the 25th-50th percentile locally. Primary opportunities focus on starting paid traffic campaigns and improving paid visibility, while continuing content and technical SEO to lift organic performance.

    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.

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.
