01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Wesley Care's Google Business Listing shows a low health score of 2.2 out of 10, indicating many critical gaps in the profile. The most important findings are the need to claim the listing, and to add a meaningful description and a logo. Photos are currently performing at or above median levels, which helps visibility.

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

Wesley Care shows strong overall health on Google reviews, scoring 8.2 out of 10 (high) with a solid base of reviews. The business has outstanding total reviews, placing it in the top 10% for social proof in the local market. The key finding is strong reputation, paired with a notable opportunity to improve engagement through review responses.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

Wesley Care shows an above-average health score of 6.3 out of 10 on Google Maps, indicating solid visibility with room to grow in local searches. The strongest performance is in top-ranking keywords related to nursing home and hospice services in Harewood-Christchurch Airport, which should guide ongoing focus. There is a notable opportunity to lift borough-level rankings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Where customers find you

Wesley Care shows low overall health, indicating limited active presence across key platforms. The strongest finding is the lack of active profiles on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Neighbourly, and LinkedIn, which restricts visibility and trust signals for potential customers and families seeking care.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Wesley Care's on-page SEO health is 2.6 out of 10, indicating low overall performance. The most important findings are that the meta description is missing and the title tag length is suboptimal, with room to improve both to boost click-throughs and clarity for search engines.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.

How people find you on Google

Wesley Care's website traffic health sits at 3.2 out of 10, signaling below-average performance for the local market. Organic traffic value is above the 25th percentile, but paid activity is largely absent. The top findings show no measurable paid traffic and room to improve paid spend, while organic traffic shows a positive trajectory with ongoing SEO refinements.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Wesley Care's published hours align well with midday and early-afternoon demand, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays around 1-3pm. No high-demand hours are closed, so there are no obvious missed opportunities. A small portion of weekly hours are during low-demand late evenings, which could be reviewed to reduce staffing or shift routines without affecting resident access.
