01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Alena Designs shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a solid foundation, scoring 4.8 out of 10. The listing already provides a website link, open-for-business status, a claimed listing, a visible listing title and a phone number. The most notable findings are the presence of a website link and a claimed status, with room to boost the description and photos for stronger local presence.

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 lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Alena Designs shows a low overall Google Business health score and a limited review footprint. The top findings point to a weak average rating confidence, a not-yet-established star rating, very few reviews, and no response to reviews. Addressing these four areas should gradually build trust with potential customers in Christchurch and Shirley.

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.

Where you show up on the map

Alena Designs has a solid overall health score in Google Maps search, indicating decent visibility across Christchurch suburbs with room to improve in the local borough. The top opportunities show rising performance across multiple suburbs and a borough presence above the bottom tier, suggesting steady gains and near-term potential in key neighbourhoods.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Alena Designs shows solid social reach with strong Facebook engagement and an up-to-date LinkedIn presence, reflecting steady trust and professional visibility. Health is 4.8 out of 10, indicating room for improvement across social profiles. The most important findings are the very high trust on Facebook and the completed LinkedIn listing, which support credibility for local interior design services.

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.

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.

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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Alena Designs shows a low overall on-page SEO health, indicating foundational issues on the homepage. The most impactful findings are the absence of a detectable on-page SEO score and missing meta elements: no Title Tag and no Meta Description detected. A favicon is also missing, and mixed content concerns are present, reducing trust and crawlability.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.

How people find you on Google

Alena Designs shows a low overall health for website traffic, indicating limited organic and paid visibility. The key findings point to near-zero organic traffic value and no organic keywords in the top 100, with no measurable paid traffic yet. Focus on content, on-page SEO, local relevance, and small paid campaigns to begin building a footprint.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Alena Designs' opening hours align well with weekday demand, particularly mid-morning and mid-afternoon peaks, but the studio misses several popular Sunday morning windows. Strong alignment includes Wednesday 9am and 11am, Tuesday 3pm, Thursday 11am and Friday 10am. Missed opportunities are concentrated on Sunday 7-11am when local searches are highest. Consider opening part of Sunday morning or shifting a weekday hour to capture demand.
