Your Google listing

ADQ Architecture shows a below-average health of 3.4/10 for its Google Business Listing, indicating room for significant improvement in local visibility. The listing is claimed and is open-for-business with a working phone number and a link to the website, but the overall description is effectively missing and there are few or no photos. A logo is also absent.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

ADQ Architecture shows a healthy Google Business profile with a 6.2/10 health score and strong star rating in the top 10%. The main findings are a high star rating indicating satisfied customers, and a lack of review responses to date which limits engagement with feedback.

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 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.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

ADQ Architecture shows a high health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating strong visibility across Google Maps.

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.
  • 2

Where customers find you

ADQ Architecture shows a solid overall health score of 6.7 out of 10, indicating above-average presence with room to strengthen reach. The strongest findings are highly trusted Instagram and Facebook profiles, both rated as very high trust, which support credibility and audience engagement. Opportunities lie mainly in expanding LinkedIn presence and adding short-form video on TikTok and related directories.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Cylex ListingWe can see your Cylex Listing listing (https://cylex.co.nz/adq+architecture-18172287) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3

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
    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
    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
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

ADQ Architecture shows an average on-page SEO health score of 5.4 out of 10. This indicates moderate room for improvement, with key strengths in having a valid favicon, an H1 tag, an SEO-friendly URL, and a relevant title tag, while some issues remain around content length, metadata, and mixed content.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.

How people find you on Google

ADQ Architecture shows moderate website traffic health with a 5.6/10 score, indicating average performance overall. The strongest signal is in organic traffic rank among local peers, but paid traffic remains minimal. The key finding is that paid activity is missing while organic visibility is improving. Focus on targeted paid campaigns and continuing SEO fundamentals.

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 ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

Your hours against demand

ADQ Architecture's published hours partially match local demand: 40 weekly hours fall during peak search times, notably weekday lunch periods, but there are significant gaps over the weekend when local searches peak. No open hours coincide with low-demand windows, so there is little apparent wasted time. Overall alignment is average, with several commercially relevant Saturday and Sunday hours currently closed.
