01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hurricane Consulting shows below average overall health for its Google Business Listing, with room to improve completeness and presentation. Key findings point to the listing having up-to-date contact details and a full address, but lacking a claimed status, meaningful description, photos and a logo, which together limit visibility 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.
  • ✓
    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

Hurricane Consulting shows a moderately healthy Google Business profile with room for growth. The score of 5.7 out of 10 indicates average performance relative to peers, with strong rating in the top 10% but limited review volume and engagement. The most important findings are the high star rating and the need to increase review count and owner responses to reviews.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

Hurricane Consulting shows above-average visibility in Google Maps with a health score of 6.4 out of 10. The business ranks strongly for key local services, including auditor and accountant roles in Mairehau, and holds solid positions in nearby areas. The top opportunity is to continue lifting aggregate Maps visibility while steadily improving the borough presence.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 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

Hurricane Consulting shows an below-average health score of 4.1/10 for social presence and directory listings. Strengths include verified LinkedIn Company and Yellow Directory listings that help reach more customers. The top opportunities focus on building active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and TikTok Directory to improve visibility and trust among local clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/hurricane-consulting-579428145) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓

  • ✓
    Yelp ListingWe can see your Yelp Listing listing (https://yelp.com/hurricane-consulting-christchurch) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 3
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Hurricane Consulting shows an above-average on-page SEO health with a 5.9/10 score. The site already benefits from a favicon, a fast load under 3 seconds, compact text, and an SEO-friendly URL, reflecting solid technical foundations. Key risk areas include meta description and title tag lengths that could affect snippet visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.

How people find you on Google

Hurricane Consulting's website traffic health sits around 5.1 out of 10, indicating average performance. The most notable findings are limited organic traffic value and no clear paid spend or paid traffic yet. Organic traffic is above the bottom quartile, but opportunities exist to improve engagement and reach.

Strengths

    What that traffic is worthSearch is delivering you nothing you would otherwise have to pay for.
  • 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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hurricane Consulting's opening hours largely align with peak weekday demand but miss several popular weekend windows. Strong alignment is concentrated on Thursdays at 9am, 10am and 1-3pm when search demand is high. The firm is closed during several busy Sunday morning and midday slots and Saturday late afternoon, representing the clearest missed opportunities. No open hours fall in low-demand periods.
