Your Google listing

Arthouse Architects shows a solid Google Business Listing health score with room for gradual improvement. The listing already lists a website, a claimed status, an active phone number and an operating status, which helps convert inquiries. The key finding is strong listing completeness and accurate availability, alongside a well-populated title and contact info.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Arthouse Architects shows a solid overall health score of 7.2 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating generally positive feedback and room for engagement improvements. The strongest finding is a top 10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. A key opportunity lies in increasing responsiveness to reviews to build trust 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 you show up on the map

Arthouse Architects shows a solid health score for Google Maps search, reflecting strong local visibility and a stable position in the market. The business ranks well for several architectural design related terms, particularly in Linwood and Christchurch centres, with top keywords indicating strong local relevance. The key opportunity lies in enhancing borough presence while maintaining aggregate visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 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.

Where customers find you

Arthouse Architects shows very high health on social and directory presence, with strong Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn Company activity. The top findings indicate strong, brand-consistent profiles but gaps in TikTok, TikTok Directory, GrabOne, and Neighbourly profiles that could broaden reach. Prioritising complete listings on these platforms would improve discoverability while preserving current strengths.

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.

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 pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.
  • 3

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Arthouse Architects shows a very strong on-page SEO health, with a 9.6 out of 10. Key strengths include an excellent meta description, a valid favicon and fast page load under 3 seconds. The most notable findings are the top-tier meta description and favicon presence, reinforcing clarity for search results and branding for visitors.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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 Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.
  • 3
    On-page scoreYour home page passes more of these checks than most sites in this market: it opens fast, it says what it is, and there is real text on it for Google to read.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Arthouse Architects' opening hours align moderately with local demand: all 40 well-aligned peak hours fall in weekday mid-day slots, but the practice remains closed for several high-demand weekend midday periods. Strong alignment is concentrated on Tuesday to Thursday lunchtime hours. Missed opportunities are chiefly Saturday and Sunday midday peaks. No low-demand open hours were identified, so hours are not wasteful.
