Your Google listing

Fable Design's Google Business Listing shows an above-average health score of 5.8/10, indicating reasonable completeness with room to improve. Strengths include a verified listing with a website link, an open-for-business status, a claimed listing, an existing listing title, and a listed phone number. The main opportunities are adding a logo and continuing to upload fresh photos to reach the local midpoint.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Fable Design shows a low Google Business health score, indicating significant work is needed in reviews and engagement. The most important findings are the lack of reviews and no owner responses, plus a very low rating confidence. The business should prioritise gathering positive reviews, encouraging client feedback, and starting to respond to existing reviews to build trust.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Fable Design shows very low overall health on Google Maps (0.6/10). The main takeaways are limited visibility in Maps searches, with the strongest presence in a specific keyword area: interior designer in kaiapoi centre, ranking at position 17. Opportunities hinge on improving both aggregate and suburb-specific Maps rankings, starting with alignment of the listing address and applying the recommended maps-improvement techniques.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Fable Design shows a very high health score with strong social presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. The most important finding is that social profiles are well-established, while several key directories lack active listings and should be claimed to improve local 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.
  • ✓
    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 CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/fable-design-ltd) found via: Google search results.

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

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 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.
  • ✓
    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 most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Fable Design shows a very strong on-page SEO health for its homepage, with a 9.2 out of 10 score. The most notable findings are the solid title tag health and favicon presence, plus secure content and small page size. Opportunities include fine-tuning the meta description, expanding content beyond 1024 characters, refining the title tag to better reflect page content, and reducing render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

How people find you on Google

Fable Design's website traffic health sits at 5.7 out of 10, indicating average performance for Christchurch market peers. Key findings show opportunities in paid traffic and continued strength in organic traffic. There are no measurable paid visits yet, while organic metrics surpass the 25th percentile and traffic is above the bottom quartile, suggesting steady engagement with search fundamentals.

Strengths

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Fable Design's opening hours show mixed alignment with Christchurch demand. The studio is open during several high-demand weekday windows (Tuesday 3pm, Wednesday 9am and 11am, Thursday 11am, Friday 10am), but it is closed for many popular times including Sunday mornings and some weekday late afternoons. No low-demand open hours were flagged, indicating no obvious waste in published hours.
