01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Design Squared Landscape Architects shows a moderate overall health on Google Business, with room to improve the listing description and continue growing photo content. The listing already provides a website link, a clear title, claimed status, a visible open status, and a phone number, which supports customer contact and information access.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Design Squared Landscape Architects shows a balanced health score with strong customer sentiment and a solid start on gathering reviews. The top finding is that the star rating sits in the top 10% of the local market, indicating high satisfaction. Other notable points include ongoing progress on total review collection and the need to start responding to reviews to boost engagement.

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.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Design Squared Landscape Architects shows an average health rating with solid social assets and several existing profiles, though room exists for stronger TikTok, Instagram, and directory presence. The most notable strength is the very high-trust Facebook profile, complemented by active LinkedIn listings. Focus on confirming consistency across key platforms to lift overall trust and discoverability.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/design-squared-landscape-architects) found via: Google search results.

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.

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.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.

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 follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Design Squared Landscape Architects shows a low on-page SEO health (2.3/10) with Page Load Time under 3 seconds as a notable strength. The most critical issues are missing meta data and favicon, plus a large page size that risks slower load times. Addressing these core elements will establish a baseline and improve visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Domain UniquenessYour web address belongs to a platform rather than to you - a social page or a site builder's own domain.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Design Squared's weekly hours match several weekday lunch peaks, especially midweek midday slots, but miss major weekend demand. Open times align with Wednesday 11-12 and Tuesday/Thursday 12-1 where searches are relatively high. However, the practice is closed across the busiest Saturday midday period (11-2) and Sunday 12pm, which are clear missed opportunities. No low-demand open hours were identified.
