01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Opes Mortgages shows some foundational health on Google Business Listing with a low overall score of 2.0 out of 10. The listing already includes a website link, a phone number, a claimed status, and an open-for-business indicator, which helps customers reach and trust the firm. The main area still needing improvement is branding and description quality to lift above peers.

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
    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 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.

    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

    Star ratingYour rating is higher than most of this market, and it is the first thing a customer reads about you.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.

Where you show up on the map

Opes Mortgages shows an average health score for Google Maps performance with room to improve. The strongest position is in central Christchurch with top five rankings for several mortgage-related queries, while broader, aggregate maps visibility remains modest. The main opportunities lie in extending local presence in the borough and lifting overall map search visibility to climb into higher brackets.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 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

Opes Mortgages shows a solid overall health score of 0.9, indicating very low health in social presence and directories. The top finding is the lack of active profiles on Instagram and TikTok, limiting reach with younger audiences. A low trust score on Facebook and missing LinkedIn, GrabOne presence also constrain trust and discoverability.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Opes Mortgages shows a solid on-page SEO health with a score of 8.4 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation and good search visibility. The most notable findings are a strong on-page SEO score and a valid favicon, plus fast page load times under 3 seconds, which supports good user experience.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Pages linking to youMore pages link to yours than almost any business in this market - the accumulated result of years of being referred to.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.

How people find you on Google

Opes Mortgages shows a mostly steady Website Traffic health with room to grow. The principal finding is limited paid activity, with opportunities to start small, targeted paid campaigns and improve landing pages, while organic traffic already shows mid-range value and solid keyword visibility that should be nurtured.

Your hours against demand

Opes Mortgages shows a mixed fit between published hours and local demand, with a health score of 6.5/10. City-level popularity data and specific peak-hour lists were not provided, so exact matches and gaps cannot be enumerated. The available information points to both periods of useful overlap with customer activity and some missed chances; simple tests of extended evening or early slots could be commercially useful.
