01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited shows a solid overall health on Google Business Listing with a score of 7.5 out of 10. The listing is claimed, open-for-business status is clear, and essential contact details including phone number and a website link are present. The description is improving but still sits below midpoint. These elements support reliable customer access 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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited shows a very high health score on Google reviews, at 9.1/10, indicating strong customer sentiment and engagement relative to peers. The top finding is an excellent star rating, placing the business in the top decile for satisfaction. A notable opportunity is improving the response rate to reviews to boost trust and visibility.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.
  • 3
    Review countYou hold more reviews than most of this market - depth buyers read as proof.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited is very strong, with an 8.7/10 overall health. The business shows solid visibility in maps before local rivals, and key strengths include top-5 rankings for core keywords and borough-specific top 10% visibility. The main opportunity is maintaining aggregate score at or above the local median as visibility continues to grow.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Where customers find you

Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited shows a healthy social presence with a health score of 8.0 out of 10. The strongest asset is the Facebook profile, rated very high trust, while LinkedIn and Neighbourly listings support visibility. The top improvement areas include adding or strengthening TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and directory listings to broaden reach and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/accounting-for-tax-solutions-co-ltd) 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
    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
    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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageMore customers have recommended you than at most pages in this market, and depth like that reads as a business that has been doing this a while.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited shows an overall on-page health of 4.4 out of 10, indicating average health but room for improvement. A key strength is having a strong title tag and a valid favicon, plus an SEO-friendly URL and sufficient page text. Notable opportunities include adding a meta description, improving load speed, and addressing frame usage to help indexing.

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 file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.

Your hours against demand

Accounting for Tax Solutions Limited shows some alignment with Christchurch demand but has clear gaps. The practice is open during several strong Thursday mid-morning and afternoon peaks (10am-3pm), yet it is closed for high-demand windows on Thursday 9am, Wednesday 9am and several Sunday late-morning slots. A small number of evening hours (Mon-Thu 6-7pm) are open despite lower local demand.
