Your Google listing

Archco Architecture shows a below-average Google Business Listing health score of 3.6 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in completeness and representation. Key strengths include a claimed listing, an active phone number and a visible website link, plus listing status and open-for-business indicator. The primary opportunities focus on a missing logo, a concise or absent description, and expanding photos.

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
    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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

Archco Architecture shows a solid overall health score of 7.0 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating above-average performance. The most notable finding is a top 10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. However, the business has not yet responded to any reviews, which may affect trust and engagement with customers.

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 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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where customers find you

Archco Architecture shows a solid health score of 6.8 out of 10, indicating above-average social and directory presence with room to deepen reach. Key strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, which demonstrate strong trust and consistent branding, supporting visibility and client engagement.

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.
  • ✓
    ArchiPro ProfessionalWe can see your ArchiPro Professional listing (https://archipro.co.nz/archco) 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.

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 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

Archco Architecture shows an above-average on-page SEO health of 5.8/10 for the homepage, indicating decent optimisation with room for improvement. Key strengths include a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, a compact page size, fast load times under 3 seconds, and a relevant meta description. The top opportunity to improve is adding an H1 tag, and refining the title and meta descriptions to better reflect the page 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 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
    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.
  • 3
    On-page scoreMost checks on your home page pass, so someone clicking through from a search gets a page that opens quickly and says what it is.

How people find you on Google

Archco Architecture's website health is above average with a 6.3/10 score, indicating steady traffic and solid visibility. The strongest finding is the exceptional value of organic traffic, suggesting effective SEO and valuable audience engagement. A cautious note is needed on paid channels, where paid traffic and spend are not yet clearly established.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Archco Architecture's opening hours align well with several weekday lunchtime peaks, particularly midweek. The practice is open during key demand windows on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday around 11-13. However, significant demand on weekends-especially Saturday midday-occurs while the studio is closed, creating missed opportunities for client enquiries and consultations that could be addressed by selective weekend or extended hours.
