01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Marshall Design shows a very low health score for its Google Business Listing, with several critical gaps to address. The most important finding is that the listing is not claimed, and the open-for-business status is unclear, which can confuse customers. It also lacks a meaningful description and sufficient photos to showcase the business.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 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

Marshall Design shows a very low overall health score on Google Business Reviews, suggesting customers may be hesitant to engage. The two main findings are a lack of reviews and no responses to existing feedback, creating a weak trust signal for new clients.

Strengths

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

Marshall Design shows an overall Maps health of 4.2 out of 10, which is below average. This indicates limited visibility in Google Maps searches, though progress is being made. The strongest opportunities lie in improving aggregate map results and continuing to grow the borough presence to reach the local midpoint.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Marshall Design shows an above-average health score with solid social presence. The most notable findings are very high trust scores for Facebook and Instagram profiles, indicating strong audience trust and consistent branding. Opportunities exist in expanding presence on TikTok, Yellow Directory, LinkedIn Company, GrabOne and Neighbourly to reach broader local and niche audiences.

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.

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.

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
    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 follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Marshall Design shows a very low on-page SEO health, with a score of 0.2 out of 10. The homepage lacks key elements such as a detected Title Tag and Meta Description, a favicon, and a page load time over 3 seconds, all of which hamper visibility and user experience. Addressing these basics will establish a baseline and improve crawlability.

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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    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.

How people find you on Google

Marshall Design shows a very low website traffic health with a score of 0.4 out of 10, indicating limited online visibility. The most noticeable findings are near-zero organic traffic value and no organic keywords in the top 100, suggesting content needs building and on-page SEO. There is also no clear paid spend or paid traffic yet to address.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Marshall Design currently has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with local demand patterns cannot be measured. The health score is very low (0.6/10). Publishing accurate hours will allow identification of when opening times match peak customer search windows, when the practice is closed during high-demand periods, and when open during quieter times. Adding hours should be the immediate priority.
