01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Caci Merivale shows a workable Google Business Listing with several essential fields in place. The overall health is moderate, indicating room for improvement. The most notable findings are a claimed profile with a working website link and phone number, and an open-for-business status. The listing's photo presence is around the median, while the description can still rise toward the local midpoint.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Caci Merivale shows a marginal overall health score with room for improvement in Google reviews. The business has made solid early progress in review count and response activity, with a notable edge in total reviews and a growing response rate that supports trust. The focus should be on increasing the star rating by gathering more reviews while maintaining responsive engagement.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 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
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.

Strengths

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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Caci Merivale shows a high health score of 7.8 out of 10 for social presence and directories. Strengths include outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, indicating strong brand reach and trust with clients. A Yellow Directory listing also exists, aiding local visibility. The main opportunity is expanding across missing platforms to reach broader audiences.

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.

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
    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

  • ✓
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Caci Merivale shows a healthy on-page SEO baseline with a score of 7.1 out of 10. Key strengths include a well-optimised meta description, a valid favicon, no render-blocking resources, and a page size under 256KB. These factors support solid visibility and fast loading, while opportunities focus on title tag length, overall on-page score improvements, removing frames, faster load times, and SEO-friendly URLs.

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.
  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links are spread across a fair range of sites for a profile this size, and the mix of link types looks ordinary.

07Google search and trafficMarketbase business report

How people find you on Google

The website shows a very strong health score for traffic and keyword footprint, with organic traffic value and local SERP coverage among the top performers. The main takeaway is that organic channels are driving high visibility and value, while paid traffic opportunities remain in early to mid stages and require structured testing.

Strengths

  • ✓
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth more than almost any business in this market - an enquiry stream with no cost per click behind it.
  • ✓
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws more visitors from search than almost any business in this market - a stream of enquiries arriving at no cost per visit.
  • ✓
    What you spend on adsYour paid search activity is larger than almost any business in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Search terms you rank forYour site appears for more search terms than most businesses here, so people find you through a wide range of searches rather than just your name.

Your hours against demand

Caci Merivale's published hours largely match Christchurch demand, with the majority of popular weekday slots covered. Strong alignment is evident on Tuesday mornings and early afternoons, while several Saturday mid-day and one Thursday evening slot are closed despite steady search interest. A few low-demand open hours suggest minor inefficiency; modest hour shifts could better capture weekend and evening clients without adding many total hours.
