01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Architects Plus shows a low health score overall, underscoring gaps in the Google Business Listing. The key findings highlight an unclaimed listing, a sparse description, and few photos, while the listed phone, website, and full address are present. Addressing the claimed status, expanding the description, adding photos, and creating a logo would improve visibility and trust for local customers.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Architects Plus shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, with limited reviews and no owner responses. The key finding is the need to build trust by collecting more reviews and engaging with customers, particularly by responding to feedback and encouraging positive experiences.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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

Architects Plus shows a strong health score but limited local maps presence, with good overall visibility rising in multiple suburbs. Top findings include first-place ranking for several key queries in Upper Riccarton and solid positions in Riccarton and Hillmorton, while the borough score remains modest and offers room for growth.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Architects Plus shows a very high health score with strong social presence. Key strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, plus an active LinkedIn Company, Neighbourly and Yellow Directory listings that support local reach. Opportunities lie mainly in expanding presence on TikTok, LinkedIn, TikTok Directory, GrabOne and Neighbourly to broaden audience and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/architects-plus-579422306) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    LinkedIn ProfileWe could not find an active LinkedIn Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    White Pages ListingWe could not find an active White Pages Listing listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Architects Plus shows a very strong on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.8 out of 10. The strongest indicators are a perfect title tag length and an optimal meta description, plus a valid favicon and an H1 tag, indicating solid technical foundations that support search visibility and user trust for both commercial and residential projects.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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 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.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

Architects Plus shows an overall health score of 5.9 out of 10, which is above average and indicates room for improvement in website traffic and paid activity. The strongest signal is mid-range organic traffic value, while paid traffic metrics show potential but currently little to no spend or conversions.

    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Architects Plus shows partial alignment with local demand: weekday mid-day hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday match peak interest, but the practice is closed for a substantial cluster of high-demand hours on weekends. Total weekly open hours cover all identified well-aligned lunchtime slots, yet 60 high-demand hours-notably Saturday midday through early afternoon and Sunday noon-are missed. Consider limited weekend openings or targeted appointment slots.
