01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Skews Architects shows a low overall health score on Google Business Listing, with room for meaningful improvement in core profile elements. The listing already includes a website link, a phone number, a full address and a main image, but lacks a proper description, logo and claimed status. Managing these gaps will help reassure local customers and improve visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Skews Architects shows strong Google reviews health but room remains to grow overall engagement score. The business maintains a top tier rating and has started collecting more reviews, yet engagement and response activity are lacking. The combination suggests solid client satisfaction but limited public interaction.

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 customers find you

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Skews Architects shows a low on-page SEO health score, highlighting several foundational gaps. The top findings are absence of a detectable Title Tag and Meta Description on the homepage, plus no valid favicon and mixed content risks. Addressing these basics now will improve crawl visibility and user trust as the site builds its technical foundation.

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.

How people find you on Google

Skews Architects shows a low overall health for website traffic, indicating limited organic and paid reach. Top findings point to near-zero organic value and no positive organic traffic, with no organic keywords in the top 100. Paid activity is also unclear, suggesting a small campaign is needed. Overall, improvements are possible through targeted content and basic SEO efforts.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Skews Architects currently has no published opening hours, so there is no measurable alignment between hours and local demand. The health score is very low (1.3/10). This prevents identification of hours that match peak customer search times, closed-peak missed opportunities, or open-low inefficiencies. Adding accurate opening hours will allow direct comparison to Christchurch demand windows and unlock practical scheduling advice.
