Your Google listing

Ultimutt Cutz Dog Grooming shows a strong overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with clear completeness and verified ownership. Key strengths include a claimed listing, an active phone number and a website link, and accurate open status. The opportunity to add a logo stands out, while photos and description already perform well relative to peers.

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
    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 hours against demand

Ultimutt Cutz's published hours align with several high-demand windows midweek, notably Tuesday 1-2pm and Wednesday 3-5pm, covering 27 peak hours. However, the salon is closed for multiple popular slots including Thursday late afternoon and Tuesday mid-afternoon, and remains open briefly during a low-demand evening hour. Adjusting a few closures into late-afternoon slots could better capture demand without greatly increasing total hours.
