01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Panda Mortgages shows a below-average Google Business Listing health score, with notable progress in essential listing basics but room for improvement. The strongest current strengths are that the listing has a claimed status, a visible phone number, a website link, and an open-for-business status, supporting accessible customer contact and up-to-date availability.

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
    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

Panda Mortgages shows overall Google review health at a low level, with a 2.0 out of 10 health score. The top strength is a high star rating in the top 10% of peers, indicating strong customer satisfaction. Key improvement areas include engaging with reviews, increasing total review count, and maintaining steady rating confidence.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Panda Mortgages shows very low overall health in Maps Search Performance, with a 1.4 out of 10. The strongest signals come from ranking well for two key terms in Spreydon: "finance broker in spreydon" (position 6) and "mortgage broker in spreydon" (position 7). The opportunity lies in improving aggregate and borough maps visibility by confirming the Listing address and applying the recommended maps-optimisation techniques.

Where customers find you

Panda Mortgages shows a low overall health score for social and directory presence, highlighting strengths on Facebook and LinkedIn while many platforms lack activity. The most important findings are the outstanding Facebook presence and an up-to-date LinkedIn Company listing, with overall health indicating room for improvement across other profiles to build trust locally.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/lumen-financial) found via: Your website.
  • ✓
    Finance Advisers ProviderWe can see your Finance Advisers Provider listing (https://financeadvisers.co.nz/panda-mortgages-south-island-limited-christchurch-FSP763672) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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 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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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

Panda Mortgages shows a very strong on-page SEO health score of 9.7 out of 10, indicating solid technical foundations for the homepage. The top findings highlight precise title and meta description health, a valid favicon, an H1 tag and no frames, which support clarity for both search engines and customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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 are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.

How people find you on Google

Panda Mortgages shows moderate website traffic health, with several clear opportunities to improve paid and organic presence. The most actionable steps are to start a small paid campaign with targeted landing pages and to refine organic content and navigation to sustain momentum.

Strengths

    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

Your hours against demand

Panda Mortgages' temporal alignment cannot be reliably assessed because city-level popularity data is not available and the health score is low (1.8/10). No specific hours with strong alignment or missed opportunities are listed. The business should check local search patterns, compare published hours with when enquiries arrive, and trial modest evening or weekend availability to see if that lifts demand and efficiency.
