01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows a solid foundational Google Business Listing health with a 4.5/10, meaning there is room for improvement to reach local standards. The business has key basics in place (title, website link, claimed status, open status, phone number) and some progress on photos and description. The most important findings are: the listing lacks a logo, and photo counts are still below peers, while the description is improving.

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
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Where you show up on the map

Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows a low overall Google Maps health score of 2.8/10, indicating limited visibility. The business ranks well for several Rangiora-focused florist keywords (e.g., florist in rangiora north east/west, south west, south east) and related flower delivery terms, suggesting strength in these area-based searches. Opportunities lie in improving aggregate map visibility and boosting local presence within the borough.

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

Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows a below-average health score for social presence (4.1/10). The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile, supporting credibility and ongoing reach. Key opportunities focus on expanding presence across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly and Yellow profiles, while tying social activity to business details for better trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Direct2Florist ListingWe can see your Direct2Florist Listing listing (https://direct2florist.co.nz/freedom-flowers-f1096071) found via: Google search results.

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

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
    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.

Your website

The on-page SEO health for Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows an overall score of 5.7 out of 10, indicating average health. Immediate positives include a relevant meta description, a page under 256KB, a relevant title tag, presence of an H1 tag, and adequate text length. Key opportunities focus on meta description length, on-page SEO score, favicon presence, and text-to-page size balance.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

How people find you on Google

Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows a low overall health for website traffic, with room to grow both organic and paid activity. Key findings point to near-zero organic traffic value and no top-100 organic keywords, indicating limited visibility. A small, targeted paid effort and improved on-site SEO could begin lifting visibility and visitor numbers.

Your hours against demand

Freedom Flowers and Foliage shows partial alignment between published hours and local demand. Strong alignment appears on Thursday late morning to mid-afternoon and Saturday 1pm, matching clear customer search peaks. However several high-demand slots - notably Saturday 2-3pm and Sunday 2-4pm - are closed, representing missed sales opportunities. No open hours fall into low-demand windows, so inefficiency from overopen hours is not evident.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
