01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Fernandes Architects shows a low overall health score for its Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement in listing completeness and engagement. The strongest current strengths are a visible website link, a proper listing title, open-for-business status, a listed phone number, and a full street address, which support easy customer contact and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Fernandes Architects shows a healthy Google review profile, with a 4.3/10 health score indicating room for growth but solid performance. The most notable finding is a top 10% star rating, reflecting strong client satisfaction and consistent service quality. Attention should also turn to increasing engagement with reviews and growing the total number of reviews to build trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

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

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Fernandes Architects shows an above-average health score of 6.2 out of 10, signalling overall stability with room for growth. The strongest confirmed presence is on Instagram and Facebook, both rated outstanding, suggesting high trust and easy engagement with clients. The most important opportunity is expanding on LinkedIn and TikTok to reach wider audiences.

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.

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.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Fernandes Architects shows a moderate overall on-page SEO health, with a score of 4.5 out of 10. The most notable strengths include a valid favicon, secure HTTPS content, a proper H1 tag and an SEO-friendly URL. The business should prioritise improving the meta description length and the overall on-page SEO score to reduce risk of content being overlooked by search engines.

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

  • 1
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.

How people find you on Google

Fernandes Architects shows a below-average overall health for website traffic, with room to grow both paid and organic visibility. The most important findings are that paid traffic is not yet established and paid spend is unclear, while organic traffic performance is modestly above the bottom tier and could be strengthened further.

Strengths

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

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Fernandes Architects' opening hours are strongly aligned with weekend midday demand: open across Saturday 11am-2pm and Sunday midday when customer interest peaks. The practice has no low-demand open hours, which keeps wasted time minimal. However, the firm is closed during several weekday 8am peaks (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri) that represent missed early-morning enquiries and potential client contact windows.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
