01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Lings Design Consultants Ltd.'s Google Business listing shows a low health score, with room to improve basic profile completeness. The listing already includes a title, claimed status, a phone number, and a full address, which supports credibility. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link, a fuller description, more photos, and a logo to boost engagement.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 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
    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.

Your reviews

Lings Design Consultants Ltd. shows a very low health score on Google reviews, with minimal feedback from customers. The core finding is the need to build trust through more reviews and improved engagement. The business should focus on gathering positive feedback from happy clients and start addressing negative comments promptly to raise credibility.

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

The Maps Search Performance health for Lings Design Consultants Ltd. is low, with a 1.7 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility in Google Maps, both city-wide and within the Riccarton borough. Top findings show some strength for the keyword building designer in riccarton, but overall progress is needed to lift ranking across broader maps queries.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Overall health is 4.5 out of 10, indicating moderate presence with several solid profiles but room for growth. The strongest finding is a highly trusted Facebook presence, complemented by active LinkedIn, Neighbourly and Yellow Directory listings, which support reach and credibility. Top priorities are expanding Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn Company presence, and directory listings to improve 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.
  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/lings-design-consultants-ltd-579452049) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/lings-design-consultants) 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
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    LinkedIn CompanyWe could not find an active LinkedIn Company listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

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.

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.

Your hours against demand

Lings Design Consultants Ltd. shows partial alignment with local demand: lunchtime weekdays are well covered, particularly Wednesday and Thursday mid-days and Tuesday noon. However significant demand is missed on weekends - especially Saturday midday and early afternoon and Sunday noon - when the practice is closed. There are no obvious low-demand hours currently open, so adding limited weekend hours could capture deferred enquiries without inflating weekly hours excessively.
