Element 17 Limited's Google Business Listing shows a very healthy profile with clear contact details and current status. The overall health score is 9.0 out of 10, indicating strong completeness and verification. The listing benefits from a claimed status, a visible phone number, an open-for-business status, and a website link for easy 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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Where you show up on the map

Element 17 Limited shows a modest overall health score for Maps Search at 5.3/10, indicating average visibility. Top takeaways include strong positions for several "building designer" keywords in Christchurch and surrounding suburbs, but the borough-specific score signals limited local presence and room to improve local searches. Aggregate scores show progress but more work is needed locally.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

    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 the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Element 17 Limited shows very high overall health with strong social presence, particularly on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The most important findings are the outstanding profiles on Instagram and Facebook, and accurate LinkedIn accounts that help reach customers. Opportunities lie in adding TikTok, TikTok Directory, GrabOne, and Neighbourly listings to extend reach. The health score and current assets support continued visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn ProfileWe can see your LinkedIn Profile listing (https://linkedin.com/in/steve-rosling-b07b6419) found via: Your website.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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 pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 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

Element 17 Limited shows a below-average health on the on-page SEO health check, with a score of 2.9 out of 10. The strongest gains come from maintaining a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, a concise page size, and a relevant title tag and meta description. The top opportunities focus on adding a meta description, improving the on-page SEO score, refining the title tag length, adding an H1 tag, and speeding up load times.

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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

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
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Element 17 Limited's published hours partially match Christchurch demand. The studio covers several weekday lunchtime peaks-especially Tuesday 12pm and midweek 11-1pm on Wednesday and Thursday-but remains closed for many weekend midday searches. With 40 well-aligned peak hours and 65 missed high-demand hours, modest Saturday/Sunday openings could capture significant commercial interest without adding low-demand waste.
