01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Victor Alexeyev's Google Business listing shows solid core setup with a health score of 7.5 out of 10, indicating good stability and room for improvement. Key strengths include a listed website link, open-for-business status, a visible listing title, claimed status, and a phone number for direct contact. Opportunities focus on the description and photos to move toward local midpoints.

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 listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Victor Alexeyev shows an overall Google Business health of 5.7 out of 10, indicating mid-range performance. The strongest finding is a top-10% Google star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. A key gap is the lack of responses to any reviews, which may affect trust; other solid progress includes review counts rising toward the midpoint.

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 customers find you

Victor Alexeyev shows an above-average health score of 5.8 out of 10 for social and directory presence, indicating solid foundations with room to grow. The strongest current asset is a very high trust Facebook profile and an active LinkedIn presence, which support credibility with clients. Opportunities include developing a TikTok presence and improving Yellow listings to boost discoverability.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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 ProfileWe can see your LinkedIn Profile listing (https://linkedin.com/in/victor-alexeyev-74a592319) found via: Google search results.

Your website

Victor Alexeyev shows a below-average on-page SEO health score of 3.3/10, indicating limited optimisation on the homepage. The top findings point to missing or weak foundations, including no detected on-page SEO score, a missing meta description, and no title tag, plus lack of a favicon and room to improve the URL structure for search visibility.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2

  • 3

How people find you on Google

Victor Alexeyev's website shows moderate traffic health with a 4.4/10 average score. The most important findings are that organic traffic value is near zero and there is no measurable paid traffic. Focusing on local content and on-page SEO, plus a small paid campaign with targeted landing pages, can start to build visibility and attract local wedding clients.

Your hours against demand

Victor Alexeyev's opening hours largely match local demand, with 80 well-aligned peak hours and no missed high-demand windows. Strong alignment occurs midday on Monday (11am-2pm) and Wednesday at 12pm. Some low-demand hours are open (early mornings and late evenings), suggesting modest inefficiency. Adjusting a few early/late slots could reduce wasted time while keeping core midday availability for bookings.
