01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Nott Architects shows a below-average health score on the Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement in how the listing serves potential customers. The strongest note is that essential contact details and a live status are in place, while key gaps include a missing logo and a brief or absent business description that highlights services and points of difference.

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
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Nott Architects shows a solid Google review health with a 7.3/10 overall score, indicating generally positive feedback from customers and a strong reputation. The most important findings include a need to engage more with customers by replying to reviews and steady growth in total reviews, while rating confidence and the star rating are already competitive and improving.

Where you show up on the map

Nott Architects shows a below-average health score for Google Maps, with room to improve overall visibility. Top findings indicate a foothold in broader maps queries and a minimal but present borough presence, suggesting focus areas around local relevance and ranking in suburb-specific searches.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Nott Architects shows very low overall health for social presence and directory coverage, with a 0.3/10 score. The top findings point to missing active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and LinkedIn Company, which limits local visibility and trust signals for potential clients.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Nott Architects shows a low on-page SEO health score of 2.7 out of 10. The homepage has several solid fundamentals, including no render-blocking resources, HTTPS secured content, frames not used, an SEO-friendly URL, and a page size under 256KB, supporting faster loading. The biggest issues are missing a meta description and suboptimal title tag length that risks truncation in search results.

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.
  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.

How people find you on Google

Nott Architects shows a healthy website traffic profile with a 6.1/10 health score (above average) and room to grow. The strongest near-term opportunities relate to paid traffic and paid keywords, while organic value and total organic traffic are mid-range and improving.

Your hours against demand

Nott Architects' published hours generally align with weekday lunchtime demand, especially midweek peaks around 11am-1pm on Tuesday to Thursday. However, the practice is closed during strong weekend search activity-most notably Saturday midday and early afternoon-representing missed commercial opportunity. There are no hours open during low-demand periods, so no clear inefficiencies in current scheduling.
