01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

CA Architecture shows a strong Google Business Listing health with a score of 8.0 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and verification. The listing already includes a website link, a readily visible listing title, verified claimed status, an open-for-business status, and a phone number. The most notable opportunities are further improving the description and increasing photo count to stand among the top performers locally.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Your reviews

CA Architecture shows a very high overall health score for Google Business reviews, indicating strong performance in the local market. The top opportunities focus on engagement and continuing to sustain high satisfaction: respond to reviews and maintain service quality to push into the top 10% for reviews and ratings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

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 confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.
  • 3
    Star ratingYour rating is higher than most of this market, and it is the first thing a customer reads about you.

Where you show up on the map

CA Architecture shows a very high health on Maps search performance, with a 9.4 out of 10, indicating strong overall visibility. The top opportunity is to maintain the excellent aggregate score while nudging the suburb score toward the top 10% through consistent listing updates. Strong keyword rankings across Christchurch centres and surrounding areas reinforce solid local presence.

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 more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

CA Architecture shows very high health at 9.8/10, indicating strong social presence and trusted directories. The strongest current assets are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, plus a well-present LinkedIn Company and Neighbourly listing, all driving visible credibility. Key opportunities lie in expanding platforms where active presence is missing, notably TikTok, LinkedIn, TikTok Directory, GrabOne and Neighbourly Directory to improve reach and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/ca-architecture) 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.
  • 3
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see the LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/ca-architecure) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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 pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

CA Architecture shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 9.3 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating strong technical optimisation. Key strengths include a title tag within the ideal length and a valid favicon, plus a concise, relevant title and meta description that accurately reflect page content.

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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

CA Architecture's published hours mostly align with weekday lunch demand, with 40 weekly open hours all during popular lunchtime windows. Strong coverage occurs Tuesday to Thursday around midday and Wednesday late morning. However many high-demand weekend hours are missed: Saturday midday to mid-afternoon and Sunday lunchtime. No low-demand open hours were found. Consider opening limited weekend hours or offering by-appointment weekend consultations to capture missed demand.
