01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Garden City Accountants shows solid listing basics with a claimed profile, open status, a listed phone number and a website link. The overall health is 4.5 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The two most important findings are the lack of a meaningful listing description and few or no photos, which limit engagement with potential local clients.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Garden City Accountants shows a healthy Google reviews profile with a 7.4/10 health score and a top-10% star rating. The main strength is high customer satisfaction reflected in the stellar rating, while a key gap is the lack of responses to reviews, which can affect trust and engagement. Overall, the practice benefits from steady review activity and a strong rating, with two notable opportunities.

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
    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
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

Garden City Accountants shows a very high overall health score on Google Maps at 9.4 out of 10, indicating strong visibility across searches. Top opportunities focus on maintaining this strength and nudging into the top 10% for local suburb visibility, supported by solid rankings for key keywords such as tax preparation and accountant services in Burnside and Christchurch.

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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Garden City Accountants shows above-average health on social and directory presence, with a 6.2/10 overall. The strongest asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile, plus an up-to-date Neighbourly listing. The main opportunity is expanding presence on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, to improve local visibility and trust among customers and clients across Christchurch and surrounds.

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.
  • ✓
    NZWAO CompanyWe can see your NZWAO Company listing (https://nzwao.com/garden-city-accountants-limited) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.

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

Garden City Accountants shows a below-average on-page SEO health score of 4.2/10, indicating room for improvement mainly in meta description and favicon. Strengths include fast loading under 3 seconds, an SEO-friendly URL, no render-blocking resources, a solid title tag, and no frames. Prioritising meta description and favicon will help click-through and brand visibility.

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 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 descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Garden City Accountants' opening hours align strongly with weekday demand, especially on Thursdays where several high-popularity hours coincide with being open. There are notable missed opportunities at weekends: multiple Sunday morning and midday peaks and a Saturday late-afternoon peak occur while the office is closed. No hours are open during low-demand windows, so current hours are efficient but could be adjusted to capture weekend enquiries.
