Your Google listing

Glasson Huxtable Landscape Architects shows a very healthy Google Business Listing with a 9.2 health score. The listing already has essential details and claimed status, plus a visible phone number and open status, which supports easy customer contact and accurate availability.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Your reviews

Glasson Huxtable Landscape Architects shows a very strong Google presence with a health score of 8.9 out of 10. The most notable finding is a top-10% star rating, indicating high customer satisfaction. A key area for improvement is the lack of any responses to reviews, which can affect trust and engagement with both positive and negative feedback.

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 countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Glasson Huxtable Landscape Architects is solid, with a health score of 7.3 out of 10, indicating a largely strong presence in Google Maps. Key finding: top performing keywords show strong visibility for several well-targeted areas, while the borough-specific score remains a priority area to improve local in-suburb results.

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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Current strengths include outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing, which help reach and trust clients. Key opportunities include filling gaps on TikTok, TikTok Directory, LinkedIn, GrabOne and Neighbourly 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.

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 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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

Your website

Glasson Huxtable Landscape Architects shows a strong on-page SEO health for its homepage, scoring 7.2 out of 10. The score places it in the high range and indicates solid technical optimisation. Key strengths include an optimal title tag length, a valid favicon, a favourable text-to-page size ratio and no render-blocking resources, supporting quicker load times for visitors.

Strengths

  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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
    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
    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

The most notable findings are that organic traffic value sits in the 50-75% percentile and organic traffic total is similarly solid locally, while paid traffic is currently underdeveloped and warrants a small, targeted start.

Your hours against demand

Glasson Huxtable's published hours partly match local demand but overall temporal alignment is below average (health 4.0/10). Weekday lunchtime slots on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday align with peak local interest, while several weekend midday peaks are missed when the studio is closed. No low-demand open hours were found, so the main gain is selectively adding weekend midday coverage or promoting alternative contact options for weekend enquiries.
