01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing health for Design Team is 7.8 out of 10, indicating a solid baseline with room to improve. The most notable findings are that the listing is claimed and active, with a direct phone number and a website link, while the description is near the local midpoint and photos can still be expanded to lift standing.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Design Team's Google Business health is low (2.1/10) with limited reviews and no responses. Key findings show that the rating confidence and total reviews are weak, and the listing lacks engagement. Addressing these areas can improve trust and attract more customers. Overall, steady focus on gathering positive reviews and responding to feedback will support gradual improvement.

    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps Search Performance health score sits at 3.8 out of 10, indicating below average visibility in Google Maps and room for improvement in both the city-wide and borough searches. The top findings show the business ranks well for several Mount Pleasant and Brookhaven-Ferrymead queries, particularly as a building or architectural designer, signifying solid keyword strength in its niche.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

The Design Team has a low overall health score of 2.2 out of 10, indicating limited social presence and directory visibility. The strongest finding is the already strong Instagram profile, while Facebook, TikTok, GrabOne, and Neighbourly have no active listings. Focusing on reviving Facebook and adding TikTok and consistent GrabOne/Neighbourly profiles will improve discovery and trust among local customers.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The on-page health for Design Team sits at 2.5 out of 10, indicating a low level of optimisation. The most impactful findings are the missing meta description on the homepage and an overly short or long title tag that needs adjustment to improve search visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.
  • ✓
    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 descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

The Website Traffic health for Design Team sits at 5.5 out of 10, indicating average performance. The most notable findings are moderate organic visibility (between the 25th and 50th percentile) and no measurable paid traffic yet. Actions should focus on introducing small paid campaigns and sustaining content-led organic growth to improve overall traffic health.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Design Team's opening hours partly match Christchurch demand: weekday lunchtime times (Tue 12pm, Wed 11-12pm, Thu 12-1pm) align with higher search activity, representing all 45 well-aligned weekly hours. However, several high-demand weekend windows are closed - notably Saturday 11am-2pm and Sunday 12pm - creating clear missed opportunities. No low-demand open hours were identified, so inefficiency from unnecessary open hours is not evident.
