Not quite right? Let's sort it

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

AW Architects shows a low health score on Google Business Listing but has solid basics in place. The listing already includes a website link, a phone number, a full address and a main image, which are positive foundations. The two key implications are the need to claim and verify the listing and to add more content and photos to strengthen visibility and trust.

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.
✓
WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
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.
3
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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

AW Architects shows a healthy presence on Google Business, with a strong star rating and growing reviews, but overall health sits mid-range. The top strength is a stellar star rating placing the practice in the top 10% for satisfaction. A key area to improve is engaging with reviews, particularly responding to both positive and negative 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
Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
2
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.
3
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.

Where you show up on the map

AW Architects shows a low overall health score of 2.1 out of 10 on Google Maps results, indicating limited visibility. The top opportunity is to improve aggregate maps performance, with a parallel focus on the suburb/borough score by ensuring the listing matches the exact suburb spelling used in queries.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

1
Maps visibility in your own suburbWe are not seeing you in Maps searches in your own suburb, which is the search a customer standing a street away actually makes.
2
Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

AW Architects shows very low health on social presence with a 0.6/10. The strongest opportunity is to establish active profiles across core platforms, especially Instagram and Facebook, to improve local visibility and trust among customers and clients.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

1
Having a Facebook page at allWe could not find an active Facebook Profile page for your business, so anyone who goes there to check your hours, read your posts or send a message lands on nothing.
2

3

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

AW Architects shows a low on-page SEO health with a 2.2/10 score. Key findings point to missing on-page SEO baseline, absent homepage Title Tag, and no Meta Description, plus no favicon and a page size over 256KB. Addressing these areas will help establish fundamentals and improve crawl visibility and user experience for local Christchurch clients.

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
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.
2
Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
3
Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.

How people find you on Google

AW Architects shows below-average website traffic health, with room to improve in organic and paid channels. The most important findings are near-zero organic traffic value and no top-100 organic keywords, indicating weak visibility. A small paid traffic presence is possible but not yet measurable.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

AW Architects has no published opening-hours data, so a direct match between hours and local demand cannot be measured. City-level demand patterns were used, but without hours the system cannot identify hours that are open during peak demand or closed during high-search windows. Adding published hours will allow concrete alignment analysis and reveal any missed opportunities or inefficiencies.
