Your Google listing

CO-STUDIO Architects shows solid Google Business health with a 6.6/10, above average. Strengths include a claimed listing, a live website link, an accessible phone number, and an open-for-business status, which helps customers learn more and contact easily. The description needs ongoing improvement but is already above the bottom quartile. There is room to push further through consistent visuals.

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 categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

CO-STUDIO Architects shows a mixed Google review health score with room for engagement gains. The overall rating health sits at 5.5 out of 10, indicating average performance. Key findings include no responses to any reviews and a solid, but evolving, review base that continues to grow. Customer feedback is present and valued, yet owner engagement lags slightly.

Strengths

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

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

CO-STUDIO Architects shows a very low Google Maps health score of 0.7 out of 10, indicating limited visibility. The top finding is a minimal presence in local maps searches, with a borough recognition but room to improve. A second notable point is some broad maps visibility, suggesting early movement but not yet strong performance.

Strengths

Where customers find you

CO-STUDIO Architects shows strong social presence with high trust on Instagram and Facebook and an active LinkedIn Company page. Overall health sits at 7.5/10, indicating solid online visibility. A key finding is established social profiles; a notable opportunity lies in expanding presence on TikTok, LinkedIn, GrabOne, Neighbourly, and the TikTok Directory to diversify 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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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.
  • ✓
    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 pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

CO-STUDIO Architects has an average on-page SEO health score of 5.5 out of 10, indicating moderate room for improvement. Key strengths include a valid favicon, secure HTTPS content, no frames, an SEO-friendly URL, and a page under 256KB. Primary opportunities involve refining the meta description length, nudging the on-page SEO score higher, and adjusting the title tag toward the ideal length.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

CO-STUDIO Architects shows a moderate health for Website Traffic with room for improvement in paid activity. The strongest signal is Organic Traffic Value, already above the 25th percentile, suggesting solid SEO basics. Key opportunities include initiating a small paid campaign with targeted landing pages and experimenting with niche paid keywords to gain visibility.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

CO-STUDIO's current hours show good alignment during weekday lunchtimes, with open slots matching local search demand midweek. However, the practice is closed during strong weekend demand around Saturday and Sunday mid-days, representing the clearest missed opportunity. Total weekly hours are compact (40) with no low-demand open hours, so a small weekend extension could capture unmet client traffic without increasing weekday inefficiency.
