01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Account Smart's Google Business Listing shows a low overall health score (2.2/10) meaning enhancements are needed to support online visibility and customer actions. The listing already has a claimed status, a valid phone number, a full address, a title, and a main image, which are solid foundations. Primary opportunities focus on adding a website link, status, a descriptive summary, a logo, and more photos.

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
    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.
  • 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
    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.

Your reviews

Account Smart shows a low overall health score for Google Business reviews, indicating potential concerns for new customers. The main findings point to a lack of reviews, no responses to existing feedback, and an unsettled star rating. Priorities are to gather positive reviews, establish a first rating, and start responding to reviews to build trust.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

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.

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Account Smart shows a very low health score of 0.4 out of 10, indicating limited presence across social media and directories. The most important findings are missing active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn, which constrain local visibility and trust with customers and clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Account Smart lacks published opening hours, so temporal alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be measured and the health score is very low. No hours means no recorded strong alignment with peak search windows. This also creates likely missed opportunities where the practice appears closed during city-level peak demand for accounting services, and stops short of showing efficient off-peak closures or potential inefficiencies.
