01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Kitchen Studio shows solid basic information on Google Business Listing with a linked website, open-for-business status, claimed status, title and phone number. Health is below average at 4.5/10, so attention is needed especially to logo and photos. The most actionable improvements are adding a logo and increasing the photo collection, while the description continues to improve.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Kitchen Studio displays a very high overall health in Google reviews, reflecting strong customer satisfaction and active engagement. The key finding is that the star rating sits in the top 10%, supported by a solid review count and proactive responses. This combination suggests customers trust the business and feel heard.

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 rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

The Kitchen Studio shows a low overall health score of 2.0 out of 10 for Google Maps search performance, indicating limited visibility across city-wide queries. The strongest rankings are for interior decorator and interior designer in Strowan, which suggests a core niche in high-appeal terms. Opportunities lie in aligning listing details and expanding suburb focus to lift scores.

Where customers find you

The overall health sits at 5.2 out of 10, indicating average presence and trust across social and local directories. Key findings show strong Facebook activity and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing, which support credibility and reach. Opportunities lie in expanding on TikTok, improving GrabOne and Neighbourly listings, and ensuring Yellow Profile presence to grow discoverability.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/kitchen-studio-nz) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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 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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

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 page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The overall health for Kitchen Studio's on-page SEO is very low, with a score of 1.7 out of 10. Key findings show no detectable on-page SEO score and missing meta elements, including a Title Tag and Meta Description, plus an absent favicon. The issues affect how the site appears in search results and trust with visitors.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Kitchen Studio's website shows a low health score, indicating limited traffic and keyword footprint. Two key findings stand out: organic traffic value is near zero and no organic keywords rank in the top 100. Minor paid activity is implied but not clearly measured, suggesting a need for basic, targeted follow-up.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Kitchen Studio's opening hours partly match Christchurch demand but show notable gaps. The showroom is open during several high-demand windows - notably Sunday 10am and midweek late-morning and mid-afternoon slots - but remains closed during other popular times such as weekday mornings and late afternoons. No open hours fall in low-demand windows, so inefficiency from open-but-empty periods is minimal.
