01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

M2 Architecture shows above-average health for its Google Business Listing with a 5.8 out of 10. The listing is claimed, open status is clear, and essential contact details plus a website link are present, which supports customer inquiries. The key takeaway is steady listing completeness with room to improve the description and photo depth to boost local visibility.

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 listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 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

M2 Architecture shows an above-average Google review health score with strong satisfaction. The top finding is the outstanding star rating, placing the business in the top decile for customer happiness. A key area to improve is the absence of responses to reviews, which can erode trust if left unaddressed.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where customers find you

M2 Architecture shows a solid health score overall, with strong social profiles. The Instagram and Facebook pages are rated outstanding and highly trusted, indicating a credible local presence. Main finding: existing social channels perform well, supporting local reputation while other platforms have room for activation to broaden reach.

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.

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 three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

M2 Architecture currently has a low on-page SEO health score, indicating significant gaps in technical setup. Key findings show that no on-page SEO score is detected and essential elements like a Title Tag and Meta Description are missing, with a missing favicon and some HTTPS/HTTP mix issues that could affect 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.

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

M2 Architecture's Website Traffic health score is 2.2 out of 10, indicating low overall health. The strongest signal is toward improving organic and paid traffic foundations. Key findings show there is near-zero organically earned value and no positive organic traffic, suggesting a need for content and SEO actions, while paid traffic remains unmeasured and underutilised.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

M2 Architecture's opening hours partly match local demand: several weekday lunchtime slots align well with customer searches, but several weekend lunchtime peaks are missed because the practice is closed. There are no open hours during low-demand windows, so no obvious time waste. Adjusting weekend availability for key Saturday and Sunday midday periods could capture more homeowner enquiries without adding inefficient hours.
