01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic has a low Google Business Listing health score of 2.5 out of 10. The listing includes the business name, website, phone number, address and trading status, giving customers essential ways to find and contact the clinic. The main gaps are that the listing is unclaimed and lacks a description, logo, suitable category coverage and enough photos.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 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

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic has a low Google review health score of 1.6 out of 10. Rating and review volume both sit well behind local market peers, while no reviews have received a reply. The most important priorities are to build review volume systematically and respond to existing reviews, helping customers see a more complete and credible picture of the clinic.

    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.

    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.

Where you show up on the map

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic has a below average Maps Search health score of 3.2 out of 10. It ranks strongly for dental clinic and dentist searches in Farm Cove, appearing first, and ranks third for paediatric dentist searches there. However, visibility is weaker across surrounding suburbs and in local searches overall, limiting the number of customers who may find the clinic.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic has an above average health score of 6.3 out of 10 for citations and social presence. Facebook is strongly associated with the clinic, providing clear third-party confirmation. The main gaps are missing Instagram and TikTok profiles, along with several directory listings, which may leave customers unable to find the clinic on those platforms.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic's Facebook page has High overall health, with an 8.3 out of 10 score. The page has 2,184 followers, giving posts an audience that can carry information beyond existing customers when shared locally. Its main weakness is the one-line intro, which does not clearly explain the clinic's dental service or Farm Cove location. Keeping the page active also protects its existing reach.

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 runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Wakaaranga School Dental Clinic covers 71% of the week's customer traffic, with its hours mostly aligned to demand and one Saturday gap remaining. On Saturday from 9am to 3pm, customers meet a closed clinic and cannot get dental care there. The business should open Saturday from 9am to 1pm, letting customers arrive and be served during the busiest part of that gap.
