Your Google listing

Emma Wallace Architectural & Interior Design shows an average health for its Google Business Listing with a score of 5.3 out of 10. The listing has a solid base with a website link, a listed phone number, a claimed status, and clear open/closed status, but is missing a logo, and could benefit from more photos. The current description is mid-range for the local area.

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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 3
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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 above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Emma Wallace Architectural & Interior Design remains very strong, with a 9.8 health score. This indicates high visibility in Google Maps and reliability in local queries. The strongest evidence is borough-level excellence and top keyword performance, suggesting steady performance across the local market with room to sustain or marginally improve rankings.

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

The overall health is very high, indicating strong social presence and solid directory listings. The most notable findings are the established Instagram and Facebook profiles and a LinkedIn listing, all contributing to trust and visibility. Opportunities lie in expanding on TikTok, Tiktok Directory, GrabOne, Neighbourly, and LinkedIn to reach more customers.

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.

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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

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
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

Your website

The On-Page SEO health for Emma Wallace Architectural & Interior Design shows a 4.9 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. Strengths include a valid favicon, fast loading under 3 seconds, a concise title tag, and a relevant meta description. The most important findings are the meta description and title tag lengths needing adjustment to avoid truncation and improve clarity, plus a high text-to-page size ratio.

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 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

    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
