01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Context Architects shows a strong Google Business Listing health with an 8.0/10 score. The listing is well-presented, with claimed status and direct contact details, and the description and photos meet local benchmarks. Key strengths include accurate open status, a website link, a clear listing title, claimed control, and a visible phone number.

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 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 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

Context Architects shows overall health in the middle range, with room to grow. The strongest finding is a top-10% Google star rating, indicating high customer satisfaction. The business has begun collecting reviews but has not yet engaged with responses, which is a gap to address for trust and ongoing feedback.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

Context Architects shows a mixed health in Maps Search Performance, with an overall health score of 5.4 out of 10. This indicates moderate visibility and room for growth across all suburbs and within the borough. Top opportunities concentrate on strengthening aggregate rankings and improving the local borough presence.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Context Architects shows a below-average overall health for Citations & Social Presence, with a score of 4.1 out of 10. The business has strong Instagram presence and an active LinkedIn Company listing, which are solid foundations. The main opportunities lie in establishing active profiles on Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn, plus directory listings and GrabOne, to improve discoverability among customers and local audiences.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/contextnz) found via: Google search results, Your website.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/context-architects-2) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe could not find an active Facebook Profile page for your business, so anyone who goes there to check your hours, read your posts or send a message lands on nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Context Architects shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a 9.1 out of 10 score. Key findings include an excellent meta description, a valid favicon, a clear H1 tag and an SEO-friendly URL, plus a page size under 256KB. Opportunities include fine-tuning the title tag length, reducing load time, improving text-to-page size ratio and removing render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.

How people find you on Google

Context Architects shows a very healthy website traffic profile with a strong organic footprint. The most notable finding is the outstanding organic traffic total and top 10% local rankings, indicating solid visibility and value from organic search.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Context Architects' published hours show partial alignment with local demand: the practice is open during several weekday lunchtime peaks (notably Wednesday and Thursday mid-days and Tuesday noon) but is closed for several strong Saturday and Sunday mid-day peaks. There are no low-demand open hours, so current hours avoid obvious inefficiency but miss high-traffic weekend opportunities that could drive more enquiries.
