01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Site Architecture shows a very strong Google Business Listing health, with a score of 9.1 out of 10. The listing is claimed and verified, with a live website link and current phone number, and the business is shown as open for customers. Two notable strengths are the listing title and contact details, which support easy customer access and trust.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Your reviews

The overall health for Site Architecture on Google Business remains high, with a health score of 7.8 out of 10. This indicates solid performance and reliable customer satisfaction, though there is room for small improvements in engagement and consistency with reviews.

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 ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

The overall health is very high, with a score of 9.7 out of 10, indicating strong visibility in Google Maps searches. The business performs well in borough-specific searches, placing in the top decile. Key strengths include top-ranked keywords for Hillsborough and Woolston, and a solid position for architecture-related terms in nearby suburbs.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.
  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Where customers find you

Site Architecture shows an average health of 5.5 out of 10, indicating mid-range presence across social platforms and directories. The strongest current asset is the Instagram profile with a very high trust score, reflecting solid branding and engagement. Opportunities include expanding on LinkedIn and TikTok, and improving directory listings to raise overall trust and discoverability.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    ArchiPro ProfessionalWe can see your ArchiPro Professional listing (https://archipro.co.nz/site-architecture) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    NZIA PracticeWe can see your NZIA Practice listing (https://nzia.co.nz/site-architecture) found via: Google search results.

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
    Having a Facebook page at allyour Facebook Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it - but nothing you control points at it.
  • 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 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 pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Site Architecture shows a low overall on-page health score (2.7/10). Key strengths include fast load times, a succinct SEO-friendly URL, and relevant title and meta description. The main opportunities focus on adding a meta description, correcting the title length range, adding a favicon, and including an H1 tag to improve structure and crawlability.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 3
    On-page scoreMost checks on your home page pass, so someone clicking through from a search gets a page that opens quickly and says what it is.

How people find you on Google

Site Architecture's Website Traffic health sits at 6.7 out of 10, which is above average for local peers. Key takeaways are that paid traffic and paid spend are not yet measurable, while organic traffic is mid-range but improving with consistent content and backlink work. The focus should be on establishing a basic paid presence alongside ongoing organic growth.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Site Architecture's opening hours match several weekday lunchtime peaks but miss key weekend demand. The practice is open during midweek lunch hours - Tuesday 12pm, Wednesday 11-12pm and Thursday 12-1pm - which aligns with local search patterns. However, it is closed across high-demand Saturday midday hours and Sunday midday, representing clear missed opportunities for client enquiries and viewings.
