01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Higham Architecture shows an average overall Google Business Listing health, with solid base facts but room to improve description and photos.

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 fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

Higham Architecture shows a below-average health score and room for improvement in Google reviews. Overall health is moderate but leans negative, with limited customer feedback and no response activity. The strongest immediate opportunities lie in boosting the review count, establishing a star rating, and starting to respond to reviews to build trust and credibility.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Higham Architecture shows a solid overall health score in Google Maps search. The business has good visibility in Rangiora and surrounding areas, with top rankings for multiple architect-related keywords. The main opportunities are maintaining strong borough presence and continuing to lift aggregate local reach to broaden exposure beyond Rangiora.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.
  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

The overall health is 4.7 out of 10, indicating average presence across social platforms and directories. The business shows strengths in Facebook and LinkedIn presence and established profiles on Neighbourly and Yellow Directory, contributing to local visibility. Key opportunity areas include expanding Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn Company, TikTok Directory, and GrabOne listings to improve discovery 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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/higham-architecture) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    ArchiPro ProfessionalWe can see your ArchiPro Professional listing (https://archipro.co.nz/higham-architecture) found via: Google search results, Your website.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Higham Architecture shows a below-average on-page SEO health score with key strengths in fast page load and compact page size, plus an SEO-friendly URL and a relevant meta description. The main opportunities include adding a meta description, refining the title tag and favicon, and ensuring the title reflects content. Overall health indicates room for meaningful improvements.

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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.

How people find you on Google

Higham Architecture shows a low overall traffic health with a 2.8/10 score. Key findings indicate negligible organic value and no measurable paid traffic, signalling the need to establish basic content and paid activity to begin improving visibility and reaching local clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Higham Architecture's opening hours partially match local demand: 45 hours of the week align with peak search times, especially midweek lunchtimes. However, the practice is closed for 60 high-demand hours, notably Saturday midday and early afternoon and Sunday midday, which represent clear missed opportunities. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so hours are efficient but could be redistributed to capture weekend demand.
