01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Cope Shearing Limited shows a below-average health score on Google Business Listing at 2.9 out of 10, indicating room for meaningful improvements. The listing already has a clear title, claimed status, open-for-business status, a listed phone number and full address, which provide essential basics for customers. Key opportunities include adding a website link and a detailed description to clarify services and value.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 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

Cope Shearing Limited shows strong customer satisfaction but a moderate overall Google review health score. The key finding is a top 10% star rating, indicating solid service quality. Opportunities include improving responsiveness to reviews, growing total review volume, and continuing to maintain the high rating as social proof for potential clients in Riccarton and Christchurch.

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

Cope Shearing Limited shows a low overall Google Maps health score of 2.7/10, indicating limited visibility across maps searches.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.

Your hours against demand

Cope Shearing Limited's hours largely align with local demand, with strong coverage on Thursday mornings and afternoons when searches peak. However, the firm is closed during several high-demand weekend windows-notably Sunday mid-morning to midday and Saturday late afternoon-representing missed client access. There are no low-demand open hours, so current schedule is efficient but could consider limited weekend openings for commercial gain.
