01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Durham Chambers' Google Business Listing shows a low overall health score of 0.7/10, reflecting several missing or incomplete elements. The most impactful findings are that the listing is not claimed and has no website link, plus the status shows as closed or uncertain. Existing strengths include a valid phone number, full address and a main image that support basic credibility.

Strengths

✓
Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
✓
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.
✓
PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

1
ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
2
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.
3
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.

Your reviews

Durham Chambers shows an below-average overall health on Google reviews (3.8/10) with room to improve. The most impactful findings are the need for a consistent review response habit and continued growth in total reviews, alongside steady progress in star rating. Focusing on response rate and ongoing feedback can lift perception and trust among local clients.

Strengths

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

Durham Chambers currently shows a very low health score on Google Maps, meaning visibility in maps searches is limited. The strongest performance comes from a few top keywords where the firm appears in the 15th to 20th positions, highlighting opportunities to improve local and borough-specific rankings. Targeted listing tweaks and consistency can help move the needle.

Strengths

Where customers find you

Durham Chambers shows a very low health score for social presence and directories, highlighting critical gaps across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and key local listings. The business has potential to improve visibility and trust by establishing active profiles and consistent details on major platforms where local clients search. Immediate gains could follow from completing missing profiles and aligning them with the firm's brand.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Durham Chambers currently has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured and the health score is very low (0.8/10). No hours can be flagged as well aligned or as missed opportunities. Publishing accurate opening hours is the first priority to enable a clear picture of where openings match client search patterns and where hours could be adjusted for better commercial outcomes.
