01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Harnett Design's Google Business Listing shows an overall health of 3.9 out of 10, which indicates below-average performance. The listing already has a website link, a claimed status, a visible listing title, a stated open/closed status, and a phone number. The most important findings are the lack of photos and the missing logo, with a moderate description that could be improved to better reflect services.

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 lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 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

Harnett Design shows a stable health score with room to grow. The overall health is average, with strong customer satisfaction reflected in a top-10% star rating. The business is still building review volume and engagement, which limits confidence. A key positive is the high rating, while a critical missing piece is responding to reviews to boost trust.

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 you show up on the map

Harnett Design shows a very high health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating strong visibility in Google Maps. The top findings include solid aggregate visibility at or above the local median and outstanding performance within the Rangiora suburb, with ranking in the top quartile. Focus remains on maintaining this momentum and pushing toward the top 10% locally.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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

Harnett Design shows a low overall health for social presence at 2.0 out of 10, with limited active profiles on major platforms. The strongest current asset is a LinkedIn profile and an existing Yellow Directory listing, which can improve reach if kept accurate. Key opportunity areas include expanding Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn Company, and TikTok Directory presence to boost discovery and trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/rob-harnett-design-ltd-579457244) 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
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 3
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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 cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Harnett Design shows an above-average health score for on-page SEO, with strengths in title tag and favicon, page size, and relevant meta description. The main findings include the solid title tag health and concise favicon, while opportunities focus on meta description length, page load time, content value, and text-to-page balance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Harnett Design shows a below-average health score for website traffic, indicating room for improvement in paid and organic reach. The most notable findings are that paid traffic is essentially absent and paid spend is unclear, while organic traffic and rankings are modest but improving. Focused, small paid campaigns and continued SEO refinement could help build steady visibility.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Harnett Design's published hours partly match local demand but miss major weekend peaks. Weekday midday slots on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (11am-1pm) align well with searches. However the practice is closed across several high-demand Saturday midday hours and Sunday lunchtime, creating missed commercial opportunities. Consider testing limited Saturday 11am-2pm and a Sunday midday opening to capture more client enquiries.
