01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Bird Built Limited's Google Business Listing shows an above-average health score of 6.9 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and optimization. The listing already includes a website link, a visible listing title, claimed status, a displayed open-for-business indicator, and a phone number. The two key strengths are verified ownership and accessible contact information, with description and photos as notable opportunities.

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

Bird Built Limited shows a very high Google review health score, indicating strong overall review performance. The top achievements include a stellar Google star rating in the top 10% and an outstanding review response rate in the top 10%, reflecting high customer satisfaction and engaged service. Opportunities to improve are solid but less urgent, focusing on maintaining rating confidence and a healthy review count.

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.
  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

Bird Built Limited shows a very low overall health in Google Maps search visibility, indicating limited discoverability for local queries. The top performing keywords show some traction for architecture-related terms, notably in Upper Riccarton and Hillmorton, while broader maps results remain weak. Focused work on suburb accuracy and map listing alignment could lift visibility.

Where customers find you

Bird Built Limited shows a healthy online presence with a health score of 7.2 out of 10. The strongest positives are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, and an active LinkedIn Company listing, which supports visibility to customers and trust. Key opportunity areas include expanding on TikTok, TikTok Directory, GrabOne, and Neighbourly profiles to broaden reach.

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.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Bird Built Limited shows a very high on-page SEO health score and solid fundamentals, with a perfect title tag range, a valid favicon, an H1 tag and an SEO-friendly URL. The two key findings are that the on-page SEO score is strong but could still climb out of the bottom 25%, and the meta description is nearly ideal but could be tweaked to fit the 130-150 character zone for readability and impact.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Bird Built Limited shows a strong website traffic health score of 8.1 out of 10, indicating a solid baseline for attracting visitors. The most notable findings are strong organic traffic in the 50-75% local percentile and existing paid search activity not yet measured, suggesting room to optimise paid efforts. A steady content and backlink strategy supports ongoing growth.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Bird Built Limited's current hours show good midweek alignment with local demand, notably midday peaks on Tuesday (12pm), Wednesday (11-12pm) and Thursday (12-1pm). However, key weekend demand around Saturday midday and Sunday midday is missed because the business is closed then. There are no open hours during low-demand periods, so hours are not wasteful but weekend coverage could be commercially valuable.
