Not quite right? Let's sort it
01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

A Plus Accounting shows solid baseline presence on Google, but overall health is moderate (5.2/10). The listing already includes a phone number, website link, correct title, claimed status, and open-for-business status, which supports easy customer contact and trust. The most impactful opportunities are adding a logo, expanding the description, and increasing photo uploads to improve visibility.

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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

A Plus Accounting shows a solid overall health with a 5.6/10 average in Google reviews, indicating average performance relative to peers. The top strength is a star rating in the top 10%, reflecting high customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is to start engaging with customers by replying to reviews to build trust and improve perceived responsiveness.

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

A Plus Accounting shows a very strong performance in Google Maps, with a high overall health score and excellent borough visibility. The key strengths include top rankings for core accounting and tax terms in Rangiora south east and related areas, indicating solid local relevance and consistent search presence.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

A Plus Accounting shows an above-average social presence with a health score of 6.0 out of 10. The strongest finding is a highly active Facebook profile and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing, indicating solid reach and professional visibility. Key opportunity areas include expanding on Instagram, TikTok and other directories to broaden local discovery and trust among 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.

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
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

A Plus Accounting shows a solid on-page SEO health with a score of 7.0 out of 10, indicating above-average performance for local businesses. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a compact page size, sufficient text content, no use of frames, and fast load times. The main opportunities relate to meta description length, title tag fine-tuning, and reducing render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    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.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 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.

Your hours against demand

A Plus Accounting's published hours show concentrated alignment on Thursday mornings and early afternoons, matching local search demand peaks. The practice is open at Thursday 9am, 10am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm when local demand is high. However several popular windows are missed, notably late Thursday afternoon, midweek afternoons on Tuesday and a Sunday morning. Adjusting a few closing times could improve commercial reach.
