01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing shows strong basic details but a very low health score overall. The most important findings are that the listing lacks a website link and claimed status, and the description is minimal. Address and phone are present, supporting local contact.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Michael de Lautour shows solid overall health on Google Reviews with a 4.7/10 health score. The top achievement is a very high star rating, placing the business in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. Key opportunities focus on engagement and growth: start replying to reviews to build trust, and continue gathering reviews to raise total counts and confidence.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Michael de Lautour has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured. No strong alignment can be identified. This creates missed opportunities during typical peak search windows for architectural services and risks inefficiency from unreported availability. Publishing accurate opening hours and availability would reveal where the practice matches demand and where adjusting hours could capture more enquiries.
