Your Google listing

Hargreaves & Felton's Google Business Listing shows room for improvement, with a health score of 2.5 out of 10 indicating low health. The listing already provides a website link, a listed title, an open-for-business status, a phone number and a full address, but significant gaps remain that could hinder discoverability and engagement if not addressed.

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
    Main imageYour listing has no main image, so the first picture a customer sees is whichever one Google chose for you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Hargreaves & Felton shows a very low on-page SEO health score, indicating the homepage needs a baseline to improve visibility. The strongest immediate findings are missing or weak elements in title tag health and meta description health, followed by no valid favicon. Addressing these core issues will establish foundations for better search presence and user trust.

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.

Key findings point to near-zero organic traffic value and no organic keywords in the top 100, with no measurable paid traffic yet.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hargreaves & Felton's published hours mostly align with Christchurch demand midweek but miss several weekend and late‑afternoon peaks. All 39 well-aligned peak hours fall on Thursday mornings and afternoons, while 48 high-demand hours remain closed across Friday late afternoon and weekend mid-mornings. There are no low-demand open hours, so changing a few closed slots to targeted openings could capture more client enquiries without increasing inefficient hours.
