Your Google listing

Design Me a Garden shows solid setup on Google Business Listing basics, giving customers direct contact, a claimed profile and an open-for-business status. With a health score of 5.4 out of 10, the listing is average but stable. The strongest completed element is having a listed phone number and a website link for learn more.

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 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.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Design Me a Garden in Christchurch shows very high Google Maps health, with a 9.6/10 overall score. The business already ranks strong in borough searches and has top-performing keywords for landscape architecture and local suburbs, indicating solid visibility and relevance. The key finding is that aggregate maps visibility is at or above the local median, suggesting continued growth potential.

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.
  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Design Me a Garden shows an overall health of 5.2 out of 10. The business has a strong Facebook presence and trusted brand in that channel, but other platforms show room for growth. The main finding is that Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and directory listings require attention to strengthen overall social and directory presence.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 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.

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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    What your page says about youYour intro carries more detail than most pages in this market and is doing the work of a short landing page for the visitors who never reach your website.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Design Me a Garden shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.5 out of 10. The most important findings are excellent title tag health and a valid favicon, plus fast load times and a compact page. Minor opportunities exist in meta description tuning and content length to improve readability and SEO impact.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    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.

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 come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

How people find you on Google

Design Me a Garden shows a solid overall website traffic health, with a 7.4 out of 10. The strongest signals are solid organic traffic and a respectable organic value, while paid traffic activity is currently unclear and needs a focused start. A consistent content and link-building strategy could push traffic further.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Design Me a Garden's opening hours are strongly aligned with weekend customer demand, especially late morning to mid-afternoon on Saturdays and midday on Sundays. The practice is closed during a cluster of weekday 8am peaks (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri), representing clear missed early-morning enquiries. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so current hours avoid apparent inefficiencies.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
