Your Google listing

Boutique Living displays a very high health score for its Google Business Listing, indicating strong completeness and control. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed, shows an open-for-business status, includes a website link and phone number, and has a title. The top opportunity is to keep adding fresh photos to reach the local midpoint, supporting ongoing visibility.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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

Boutique Living shows a high overall health score and solid Google review momentum. The health score of 7.3 out of 10 indicates generally positive performance with room for minor improvements. The most notable findings are a low review response rate and strong rating confidence. Engagement with reviews could further boost trust while continuing to sustain high review volume.

Where you show up on the map

Boutique Living's Google Maps health is 2.1 out of 10, indicating low overall visibility. The business shows some presence in broader maps queries, but local, borough-specific results remain weak. The top opportunities focus on improving aggregate map rankings and boosting the borough's local search position to reach more Christchurch clients.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Boutique Living shows an above-average health score of 5.9/10 for social presence, driven by strong Instagram and Facebook profiles. Key strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook presence with very high trust, supporting brand credibility and audience engagement. Notable gaps include missing TikTok, LinkedIn (personal and company), and GrabOne listings that limit reach to younger audiences and professional networks.

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.

  • 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 three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The on-page health for Boutique Living is very strong, indicating a solid technical foundation with room to fine-tune a few elements. The most notable findings are the excellent meta description and title tag health, plus a valid favicon and adequate text content, which support clear search results and user perception.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youVery few individual pages anywhere on the web link to yours, so there is almost nothing for search engines to follow back to you.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Boutique Living's published hours partially match local search demand, with weekday lunchtime openings aligned to midday interest but several weekend peaks are missed. Strong alignment includes Tuesday 12pm, Wednesday 11-12pm and Thursday 12-1pm when searches are higher. Significant missed demand occurs on Saturday midday-2pm and Sunday noon. Consider opening limited weekend viewing hours or extending Saturday midday availability to capture more leads.
