01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

PXA Architects shows a solid Google Business Listing setup with a claimed, verified profile, open-for-business status and a listed phone number and website link. Overall health sits at 4.9/10, indicating room for meaningful improvements in profile depth and media. The most impactful findings are the lack of a detailed description and limited listing photos.

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
    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 this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

PXA Architects shows a below-average Google review health score, indicating room for improvement in engagement and reputational momentum. The top findings highlight that the business has begun gathering reviews and has a growing rating, but has not yet engaged with any reviews through responses. Prioritising consistent responses and continued review solicitation will help move into higher rating brackets and boost trust with clients.

Strengths

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.

Where you show up on the map

PXA Architects shows a low overall health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating room for improvement in visibility across Google Maps. Top findings include steady performance for key Phillipstown terms such as architectural designer and architect, while broader category terms like architecture firm and building designer appear further down the results. Focusing on suburb-specific accuracy and aggregate ranking can help raise overall visibility.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.

Where customers find you

PXA Architects shows a healthy digital presence with an overall health score of 7.1 out of 10. The strongest achievements are very high trust Instagram and Facebook profiles, indicating solid social reach and brand consistency, and an accurate LinkedIn listing that helps reach customers through professional networks.

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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.

    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

PXA Architects shows a very high on-page SEO health score with strong foundations. Current strengths include an outstanding on-page SEO score and a valid favicon, plus adequate text content and secure HTTPS resources. The main opportunities are fine-tuning the meta description and title tag to ideal lengths, avoiding too much plaintext relative to page size, and reducing render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

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
    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

PXA Architects shows an overall below-average website traffic health with a score of 3.4 out of 10. The situation highlights opportunities in paid traffic and ongoing improvements in organic visibility. Notable gains include organic traffic value being above the 25th percentile, while paid metrics show no measurable spend or conversions yet. Careful testing of paid terms could lift visibility and cost efficiency.

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.

Your hours against demand

PXA Architects' opening hours align partly with local demand: 45 weekly open hours match peak windows, but 60 popular hours remain closed. Strong alignment occurs midweek lunchtime-Tuesday 12pm, Wednesday 11-12pm and Thursday 12-1pm-while no open hours fall in low-demand periods. Saturday and Sunday middays are the main missed opportunities where customer searches peak but the studio is closed.
