01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Ökohaus shows a very low overall health on Google Business Listing with critical gaps in claimed status, open-for-business status, and a complete description. The listing already includes a website link, phone number, full address and a main image, but lacks a logo and sufficient visuals or context for customers.

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

Ökohaus shows an above-average health score on Google reviews, with a 5.9 out of 10. The top finding is a stellar star rating, placing the business in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. However, there is no response to any reviews yet, which affects perceived engagement with clients.

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 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.
  • 3
    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.

Where customers find you

Ökohaus shows very low overall presence health (0.2/10) across social platforms and directories. The most important findings are missing active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn, which limits local visibility and trust. Addressing these gaps is essential to improve reach with local customers and connections in Christchurch.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Ökohaus's on-page SEO health is low, with a 2.4 out of 10. Primary concerns are weak meta information and a generally low on-page score, while existing assets show solid basics such as HTTPS resources, an H1 tag, an SEO-friendly URL, and a small page size. Focused improvements are needed in meta description, title tag length, and overall content depth.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    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.

How people find you on Google

Ökohaus shows a below‑average health score for Website Traffic, indicating limited paid and organic reach relative to peers. The most actionable findings are the absence of measurable paid traffic and spend, and the need to continue improving organic SEO fundamentals. A small, targeted paid campaign and ongoing SEO refinements are recommended to build visible traffic and potential customers.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Ökohaus has no published opening hours, so there is no recorded alignment with Christchurch demand patterns. With no hours set, the business effectively shows as closed during city-level peak search windows, creating missed opportunities. Adding clear weekday daytime availability and at least one evening consultation slot would better match typical client search times and reduce lost enquiries.
