01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Mr Finance shows a low overall health on Google Business, with room to improve presence. The most important findings are that the listing already has a phone number and a website link, and the listing is claimed and verified, but there is limited description and few photos, and no logo.

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 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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

Mr Finance shows a low overall health score for Google Business reviews, at 2.8 out of 10, indicating limited engagement and room for improvement. The most notable finding is a stellar star rating in the top 10%, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. A second key point is solid growth in total reviews, now above the bottom quartile, suggesting momentum that should be maintained.

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 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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

Mr Finance shows a high health score in Google Maps search performance, indicating strong local visibility. The borough-specific score has room to improve, while the aggregate score meets the local median and reflects solid overall reach. Top 5 keywords reveal consistent performance in Sydenham and nearby areas, with several positions in Beckenham and Kaiapoi North.

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Mr Finance shows a very low social presence health score of 0.3 out of 10, indicating significant room for improvement in online visibility and trust signals. The strongest immediate constraint is the absence of active profiles across core platforms, especially Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, along with missing LinkedIn Company and GrabOne listings. Priorities should focus on establishing these profiles to bolster credibility and reach.

Strengths

  • ✓

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Mr Finance's on-page health is very high, scoring 8.9 out of 10. This indicates strong technical optimisation for search engines. The most notable findings are an outstanding on-page SEO score and a relevant title tag, with page load under 3 seconds.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

Your hours against demand

Mr Finance shows a generally reasonable temporal fit with local demand, reflected in a 6.6/10 health score, but city-level popularity data is not available to pinpoint exact hours. The algorithm flags both well-timed open periods and peak hours that are closed. A targeted review of peak search times and modest hour shifts or weekend openings could better capture high-demand searches without large cost increases.
