Your Google listing

Selwyn & Canterbury Insurance Advisers shows a consistent listing with a clear health score of 5.4 out of 10. Overall health suggests average performance and room for improvement, particularly in listing description depth and photo breadth. Key strengths include a verified listing, readily accessible phone number, and a live business status, which support customer ease of contact and credibility.

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 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 category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

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 above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    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.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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.

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 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 follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Selwyn & Canterbury Insurance Advisers has a below-average on-page SEO health, with a health score of 2.9 out of 10. The site lacks a detected on-page SEO baseline, including missing or minimal meta elements and structural issues that affect crawlability and click-through. Key gaps include a missing title tag, missing meta description, and no valid favicon, all of which hinder visibility and branding.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Selwyn & Canterbury Insurance Advisers shows a strong temporal fit with local demand, reflected in a health score of 8.1. City-level popularity data and hour-by-hour alignment specifics were not available, so exact peak-match hours cannot be listed. There are likely some missed opportunities outside standard daytime hours; a targeted trial of modest evening or Saturday openings could reveal commercially useful incremental demand.
