01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Gravity Architecture shows a below-average health score of 3.5 out of 10 for its Google Business Listing, indicating significant room for improvement. The listing already provides a website link, a title, a claimed status, an open-for-business status and a phone number, which are solid base elements. Key opportunities include adding a detailed description and more visual content.

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

Gravity Architecture shows a healthy Google Business presence with a 7.6/10 health score. The top achievement is a star rating in the top 10%, indicating strong customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is improving the review response rate, as no responses have been recorded yet. Sustaining rating and increasing engagement will reinforce trust with customers.

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 under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

Gravity Architecture shows overall health of 4.2 out of 10, indicating below-average presence in social platforms and directories. The strongest completed assets are an outstanding Instagram profile and an accurate LinkedIn listing. Key opportunity work should focus on establishing or reviving Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn Company, TikTok Directory, and GrabOne profiles to improve visibility and trust among local customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    ArchiPro ProfessionalWe can see your ArchiPro Professional listing (https://archipro.co.nz/gravity-architecture) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    CheckMyBuilder CompanyWe can see your CheckMyBuilder Company listing (https://checkmybuilder.co.nz/gravity-architecture-limited) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe could not find an active Facebook Profile page for your business, so anyone who goes there to check your hours, read your posts or send a message lands on 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Gravity Architecture shows an above-average on-page SEO health score of 6.3 out of 10, with solid foundations and room for improvement. Key strengths include a valid favicon, a concise and relevant title tag, a relevant meta description, a lightweight page under 256KB, and secure HTTPS resources. The main next step is to raise the page load speed and expand content slightly to support longer effective meta content.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits just outside a workable length, so a searcher either gets less than the space allows or loses the tail of it.

How people find you on Google

Gravity Architecture shows an above-average website traffic health score of 6.0 out of 10, indicating reasonable visibility with room for improvement. The strongest opportunities lie in paid traffic and paid coverage, where there is currently no measurable spend or SERP presence, suggesting limited paid activity. Organic value and rankings are mid-range and trending upward with ongoing refinement.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.
  • 3
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Gravity Architecture's published hours largely align with weekday lunch-time demand: open mid-day Tuesday to Thursday and Wednesday mid-morning when local searches peak. However, the practice is closed across high-demand weekend hours, notably Saturday lunchtime, which are significant missed opportunities. No low-demand open hours were identified, so current weekday scheduling is efficient but leaves weekend client availability unaddressed.
