01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

South Pacific Roses shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a score of 6.8 out of 10. The listing already provides a website link, claimed status, open-for-business display, a listing title, and a phone number. The most notable findings are the presence of contact details and the claim verification, alongside room for photo expansion and a stronger description.

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 gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from 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 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

South Pacific Roses shows an overall health score of 4.1 out of 10, indicating below-average performance on Google reviews. The main finding is a lack of owner responses to reviews, which can affect customer trust, while the business already sits in the top quartile for star ratings and has strong listing breadth with a solid review base.

Where you show up on the map

South Pacific Roses shows very low overall visibility on Google Maps, with a health score of 1.2 out of 10. The business has some presence in broader maps queries but struggles locally. Top opportunities include improving aggregate Maps visibility and boosting borough-level rankings to capture nearby rose buyers.

Where customers find you

South Pacific Roses shows an overall below-average health on social and local directories, with room for growth in several key channels. The strongest recent asset is an outstanding Facebook profile and a verified Yellow Directory listing, which provide reliable visibility and trust signals. Primary opportunities focus on expanding profiles on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Neighbourly and Yellow to improve reach.

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.

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 can see the Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/south-pacific-rose-nurseries-ltd-579474082) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

South Pacific Roses shows a very strong overall on-page SEO health score of 9.8 out of 10, indicating technical readiness and low risk of crawl or indexation issues. The most notable find is that key achievements include optimal title tag and meta description lengths, a valid favicon, and clear relevance of the title tag, all supporting strong visibility and click-through potential for the homepage.

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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.

How people find you on Google

South Pacific Roses shows a very healthy website traffic position with a 9.4/10 health score. The main takeaway is strong organic traffic value and top local ranking, while paid traffic remains untapped. The business should maintain SEO momentum and begin targeted paid experiments to capture additional visitors and conversions.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws more visitors from search than almost any business in this market - a stream of enquiries arriving at no cost per visit.
  • ✓
    Search terms you rank forYour site appears for more search terms than almost any business in this market, so there are more ways to find you than to find anyone else here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Search terms you advertise onYou are not covering any search terms with ads, which for most local businesses here is normal.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

South Pacific Roses' opening hours match several high-demand windows but also miss notable late-afternoon peaks. The business is open during strong Saturday and Thursday midday peaks and Sunday early-afternoon demand, which aligns with customer interest. However, closures at multiple popular late-afternoon hours - including Thursday, Friday, Wednesday and Sunday late afternoons - represent missed commercial opportunities.
