01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Toms Chop Shop has an average overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with room for improvement in branding and media. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed and shows a website link and phone number, while there is no logo yet. Photos continue to rise, and the description is improving but remains below the local midpoint.

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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

Toms Chop Shop shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10, indicating solid overall performance with room to improve. The business already ranks in the top 10% for Google Business rating confidence and total reviews, reflecting strong customer satisfaction and social proof. The key opportunity lies in increasing the response rate to reviews while maintaining the high star rating.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top two 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

Strengths

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 the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Toms Chop Shop shows a very high overall health in citations and social presence (9.6/10). Key strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, and a well-maintained Fresha presence that supports new customer reach. Opportunities focus on improving TikTok trust, completing Yellow Directory and Yellow Profile listings, adding NoSecretSalon if relevant, and linking an owner profile on LinkedIn to humanise the brand.

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.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha 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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Toms Chop Shop's on-page SEO health is 6.4 out of 10, which is above average and indicates solid foundations with room to improve. The most notable findings are a strong baseline with a valid favicon and fast loading, plus an existing H1 tag. The key opportunities focus on meta description presence and optimizing the title tag length to better match user intent and search results.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

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
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
