01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Grant Weekes Architect shows a low overall health on Google Business Listing, with a 2.4 out of 10. The listing already provides a website link, a title, a phone number, and a full address, which are positives. However, the profile is not claimed, and there are few or no photos and no logo, limiting trust and discoverability for local clients.

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

Grant Weekes Architect shows a healthy presence on Google, with a solid star rating and early momentum in gathering reviews. The health score sits around average, indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The strongest current achievement is a top-10% star rating, signaling high customer satisfaction.

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 customers find you

Grant Weekes Architect shows below-average health for citations and social presence with a 4.1/10. The strongest current asset is a very high-trust Facebook profile and an up-to-date LinkedIn listing. Primary opportunities lie in expanding Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn Company pages, TikTok Directory, and GrabOne to improve visibility and 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.
  • ✓
    ServiceFinder ProfileWe can see your ServiceFinder Profile listing (https://servicefinder.co.nz/Grant-Weekes-Architect-56510) 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 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 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 street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Grant Weekes Architect shows a low overall on-page SEO health score (2.1/10). The main findings are a missing on-page SEO score baseline, no detectable Title Tag on the homepage, and no Meta Description, along with absence of a favicon and pages larger than 256KB. Fixing these will establish a baseline, improve visibility, and speed up load times.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
