01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Field Studio Of Architecture and Urbanism shows a below-average health on Google Business, with room to improve contact details and branding. The listing already has a website link, a claimed status, an open status, and a full address, which helps legitimacy. The top findings suggest prioritising phone contact and a logo, while continuing to grow photos.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Field Studio Of Architecture and Urbanism shows a below-average health score of 3.9 out of 10 based on Google review metrics. The business has started collecting reviews but has not yet engaged with customers through public responses, which can affect trust. Progress is evident in the total reviews and rating confidence, but there is room to improve engagement and average rating through more reviews and replies.

Strengths

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.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

Field Studio Of Architecture and Urbanism shows a low overall Google Maps health score of 2.4 out of 10, indicating limited visibility. Top findings reveal existing presence in some broader maps queries and minimal local presence in the borough area. Focus areas include improving both aggregate and borough scores to raise awareness among Christchurch clients.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

Field Studio Of Architecture and Urbanism shows solid social presence with an overall health score of 5.9 out of 10. The two standout completed achievements are Instagram and Facebook profiles, both with very high trust scores and strong branding. The most important finding is that top opportunities focus on expanding TikTok, LinkedIn, and directory listings to broaden reach.

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.

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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Field Studio Of Architecture and Urbanism shows a strong on-page SEO health with an overall score of 8.2 out of 10. The most notable strengths include an excellent meta description within 130-150 characters, a valid favicon, secure HTTPS content, an SEO-friendly URL, and a page size under 256KB. Focus should stay on refining title tag and addressing render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

How people find you on Google

Field Studio of Architecture and Urbanism shows a solid health score for website traffic, indicating above‑average performance. Organic traffic value is in a strong 50-75% band, while paid traffic remains underdeveloped with clear opportunities to trial small campaigns. The key takeaway is to maintain content momentum and begin selective paid activity to broaden reach among local clients.

Your hours against demand

Field Studio of Architecture and Urbanism has partial alignment between published hours and local demand. The studio is open during several midday peaks-Tuesday 12pm, Wednesday 11-12pm and Thursday 12-1pm-which match local searches. However it is closed across high-demand weekend midday slots (Saturday 11am-2pm, Sunday 12pm), representing substantial missed opportunities to meet client search activity during key weekend hours.
