01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Waggily Tails Pet Grooming shows a low health score on Google Business Listing with room for improvement. The listing has a claimed status, a visible phone number and full address, and an active listing title. However, the health score reflects gaps in website link, logo, and expanded description, with ongoing photo growth noted as a strength.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Waggily Tails Pet Grooming shows very low overall Google review health with a 1.2/10, but a strong star rating top 10% indicates high satisfaction from customers. The key finding is the mismatch between a high rating and low engagement, as no reviews have been responded to. Progress on total reviews is evident, and opportunities focus on boosting response rate and ongoing reviews.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

Waggily Tails Pet Grooming shows a healthy Google Maps presence with a score of 8.1 out of 10. The business ranks well for key local terms, especially pet groomer in Hoon Hay, aiding steady visibility across nearby suburbs. Opportunities lie in maintaining momentum to remain above the median borough presence and to push into top performers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

  • 1
    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

Waggily Tails Pet Grooming shows an above-average health score for citations and social presence, indicating decent visibility across key platforms. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile and an active Neighbourly listing, which support local trust and reach. Opportunities include improving Instagram trust, establishing TikTok, and claiming listings on GrabOne, Yellow Directory and TikTok Directory.

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.
  • ✓
    Cylex ListingWe can see your Cylex Listing listing (https://cylex.co.nz/waggily+tails+pet+grooming-18231317) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    PetCareDB ListingWe can see your PetCareDB Listing listing (https://petcaredb.com/waggily-tails-pet-grooming-9333) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.

Your hours against demand
