01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

John Clark Accountants shows a very low health score for its Google Business Listing, with room for improvement across several key areas. The listing has a complete address, a phone number and a main image, but lacks a website link, clear description and sufficient photos, which limits customer discovery and engagement.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

No published opening hours are available, so alignment with local demand cannot be determined. The data shows demand patterns exist at the Christchurch level, but John Clark Accountants has no recorded hours to compare. As a result there are no identified hours of strong alignment or specific missed high-demand windows. Adding accurate opening hours will enable targeted adjustments to match peak client search times.
