01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

MOA Design shows solid basic setup on Google Business Listing with a health score of 5.5 out of 10. The listing has core contact details and ownership in place, but the overall description is very brief. The key strength is that the listing is claimed and open-for-business status is accurate, while the photo set already meets or surpasses median levels.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

MOA Design shows very low overall health on Google Business Reviews, with a health score of 0.0 out of 10. This indicates potential hesitation from customers and a weak online presence. Key findings point to a lack of reviews, no response to existing reviews, and an unestablished star rating. Addressing these areas is essential for credibility and trust.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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

MOA Design shows an average health score for Google Maps at 5.2 out of 10, indicating moderate visibility. Top insights: the business already ranks in several maps queries in its borough and broader area, with best performing keywords centred on brookhaven-ferrymead. There is room to improve aggregate and borough scores to reach top performers.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

MOA Design shows above-average health with a 5.9/10. The strongest current asset is an outstanding Instagram profile and a very high-trust Facebook presence. The main opportunities lie in adding active TikTok and LinkedIn profiles, plus directory listings, to enhance discoverability among customers and local directories.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

MOA Design's opening hours largely align with weekday midday demand, especially midweek lunch periods. The practice is open during several high-demand slots on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mid-days, but it misses high-traffic weekend windows when many clients search. There are no low-demand open hours, so inefficiency from unnecessary hours is not evident. Adjust weekend coverage selectively to capture missed Saturday and Sunday searches.
