01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

MTF Mt Wellington shows average overall health on Google Business Listing with a score of 5.3 out of 10. This indicates room for improvement in listing completeness and visual content, which can affect customer engagement. The strongest base is that key basics like listing title, phone number, website and claimed status are in place, supporting visibility and basic trust.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 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.

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 more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

MTF Mt Wellington shows a very high health score for citations and social presence, indicating strong consistency across key profiles. The strongest findings are the verified Facebook and Instagram profiles, plus active Yellow Directory and LinkedIn Company listings. Two gaps exist: missing Yellow Profile and missing LinkedIn Profile. Addressing these will improve discovery and trust with potential customers.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/mtf_finance) found via: Your website.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Yellow ProfileWe can see the Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/mtf-finance-mt-wellington-579480009) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.
  • 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

MTF Mt Wellington's Facebook page health is very high (9.3 out of 10). The page already lists a phone number, email and a website link to mtf.co.nz and has a cover photo and a readable page address, plus 23,933 followers. Main issues are a short intro that doesn't specify services or suburb and the lack of a street address, which can deter local customers deciding whether to visit.

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two 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
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

Your website

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.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

    Links to your siteMore sites link to you than almost any business in this market, a position built over years and genuinely hard for a competitor to match.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.
  • 3
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is shared with other businesses, which is normal for a franchise or a multi-site group.
