01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

AH Architecture shows a very low overall Google Business health score, indicating limited setup and incomplete details. The strongest points are a consistent listing title, a phone number, a full address and a main image, which help credibility and finding the business. Key opportunities include adding a website link, claiming the listing, expanding the description and photos, and adding a logo.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

AH Architecture shows a low overall health in Google reviews, with a 2.5/10 health score and limited review activity. The top opportunities focus on boosting credibility: attracting more reviews, improving average rating once initial feedback is gathered, and increasing responsiveness to existing reviews to build trust. Addressing these areas can gradually improve visibility and customer confidence.

Strengths

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

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

Where customers find you

AH Architecture shows a healthy social presence with a health score of 7.8 out of 10. The strongest findings are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, and an up-to-date LinkedIn Company listing. Opportunities focus on expanding presence in TikTok, Yellow Directory and Yellow Profile, LinkedIn, and a TikTok Directory to improve 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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/bayleys-real-estate) found via: Your website.

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
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your website

AH Architecture shows a solid on-page SEO health score of 7.7 out of 10, indicating strong technical setup with room for targeted improvements.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

    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.
  • 2
    Domain UniquenessYour web address belongs to a platform rather than to you - a social page or a site builder's own domain.

Your hours against demand

AH Architecture's published hours partially match local demand. The practice is open during several weekday lunchtime peaks (Tues-Thurs midday and Wednesday 11am), but remains closed through many high-demand weekend midday slots. Total weekly open hours are 40 with 40 well-aligned peak hours and 65 missed high-demand hours. No low-demand open hours were identified, indicating little obvious waste.
