Your Google listing

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows a healthy presence with a 5.8/10 health score, meaning above average standing for a Google Business Listing. Key strengths include a claimed listing with a live phone number and a website link, plus an open-for-business status that provides clear availability. The main opportunities lie in adding photos and a logo while continuing to improve the description.

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
    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.
  • 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
    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.

Your reviews

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows a below-average health in Google reviews, with a 3.0/10 health score. The strongest opportunities lie in increasing trust through more and better reviews and engaging with feedback. The business should focus on gathering positive reviews from satisfied clients and promptly addressing any negative feedback to lift credibility and attract new customers.

Strengths

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.

Where you show up on the map

Acounta Chartered Accountants has a low overall Google Maps health score but shows some presence in broader maps queries. The strongest opportunities lie in improving aggregate visibility and ensuring the suburb/borough listing aligns with common spelling. Top keywords indicate emphasis on "auditor" and "accountant" in several Christchurch suburbs, suggesting focus areas for improved maps ranking and consistency.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility in your own suburbWe are not seeing you in Maps searches in your own suburb, which is the search a customer standing a street away actually makes.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows a mid-range health for Citations & Social Presence, indicating room for solid improvement in local presence. The strongest existing assets are a very high-trust Facebook profile and an accurate LinkedIn listing, which support credibility and outreach among customers and clients.

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 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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows a solid on-page SEO health with a 7.5 out of 10. Main strengths are a valid favicon, a visible H1 tag, compact page size and sufficient text content, which supports crawlability and relevance for local search. The strongest improvement areas relate to meta description length, slight title tag adjustment, and reducing render-blocking resources to speed up loading.

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
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 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

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows a healthy website traffic position, with room to improve paid activity and slightly stronger organic value.

Your hours against demand

Acounta Chartered Accountants shows good alignment with local demand at key weekday times, particularly on Thursdays where several mid-morning and afternoon slots match strong search activity. However there are notable missed opportunities over the weekend when demand is high but the office is closed. No low-demand open hours were detected, so published hours are generally efficient but could be adjusted to capture weekend enquiries.
