01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Olivia Skene Design shows solid overall health with room to improve. The profile already includes a website link, a claimed listing, an open-for-business status and a phone number, which supports customer contact. While descriptions and photos are progressing, focus on expanding imagery to move higher in local benchmarks and further refining the listing description.

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 gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.

Your reviews

Olivia Skene Design shows a solid overall health on Google reviews, with room to improve engagement. The top achievement is a stellar star rating, placing the business in the top 10% for customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is to start replying to reviews to boost trust and visibility among customers and potential 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 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.

The top opportunities focus on maintaining broad regional visibility and improving local suburb/borough ranking by refining the Google Business Listing. Key strengths include consistently ranking #1 for multiple interior design keywords in Mount Pleasant, Bromley, and surrounding areas.

Strengths

  • ✓

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

Where customers find you

Olivia Skene Design shows a solid health score with strong social presence on Instagram and Facebook. The most notable findings are outstanding profiles on Instagram and Facebook, indicating high trust and engagement, while opportunities lie in expanding presence on additional platforms and local directories to broaden reach.

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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Olivia Skene Design shows a healthy on-page SEO status with a 7.2/10 score, indicating solid optimisation but room for improvement. Key strengths include a strong on-page SEO score, a valid favicon, a concise page under 256KB, a relevant title tag, and an H1 tag, which support clear visibility and user guidance.

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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to you than half the businesses here, which means a customer researching your trade reads someone else's explanation of it rather than yours.

How people find you on Google

Olivia Skene Design's website shows a mixed traffic picture with a health score of 4.7 out of 10, indicating average overall performance. Organic traffic is climbing but paid activity remains unclear, and keyword coverage is improving gradually. Immediate focus should be on setting up a small paid campaign with targeted landing pages and continuing keyword refinement.

Your hours against demand

Olivia Skene Design's opening hours show clear strengths and gaps against Christchurch demand. The studio is well aligned during weekday daytime peaks - notably Wednesday 9-11am and Tuesday 3pm, plus Thursday 11am and Friday 10am. However, several high-demand windows are missed: Sunday mornings and early-evening weeknights such as Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm. Consider adding limited Sunday morning or early-evening hours to capture unmet demand.
