01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Catas shows a below-average health score for its Google Business Listing, with room to stabilise online presence and attract more church and faith-based clients. The most important findings highlight the missing main image and limited photos, alongside a listing status that requires a clear open or temporarily closed signal for customer reassurance.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Main imageYour listing has no main image, so the first picture a customer sees is whichever one Google chose for you.
  • 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.

Your reviews

Catas shows a very low Google review health, with a health score of 1.3 out of 10. The business has limited reviews and no responses yet, raising concerns for potential customers. Immediate focus should be on collecting positive reviews from satisfied clients and starting to respond to all feedback to build trust.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Catas shows a low overall health in Maps Search (2.5/10), with limited but real presence in broader maps queries and some borough recognition. The top opportunities focus on improving aggregate rankings and boosting local visibility in Edgeware and nearby suburbs. Strength lies in several established keywords such as accounting firm in Edgeware, accountant in Edgeware, and auditor in Edgeware, which can guide targeted improvements.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Catas shows a below-average on-page SEO health score, with strong page speed but missing essential meta elements. The most important findings are that a valid Title Tag and Meta Description are not detected, and no favicon is present, which can hinder search visibility and branding. HTTPS is used, but some linked resources are HTTP. Overall health needs baseline fixes.

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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Page titleThere is no headline set on your home page, so the clickable blue line in a search result falls back to your domain name or a scrap of code.

How people find you on Google

Catas shows a healthy website traffic profile with an overall health score of 7.7 out of 10. Organic traffic momentum is solid, and paid activity is currently underdeveloped. Key opportunities focus on establishing paid campaigns, refining paid search, and building organic value through content and links, which should gradually lift visibility and conversions for church clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Catas has no published opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be measured. No strong alignment points can be identified. This creates missed opportunities during typical weekday business peaks and potential inefficiencies if hours are added without matching city-level demand. Adding clear, weekday daytime hours and offering by-appointment evening slots would better match customer search patterns and improve temporal alignment.
