01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Step By Step Architectural Designs shows a very low Google Business Listing health score, with limited listed information. The most important findings are that the listing has a main image and a phone number, but lacks a claimed status, a website link, a meaningful description, photos, and a logo, which together constrain visibility and trust for local customers.

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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Step By Step Architectural Designs shows a below-average health on Google Reviews with a 3.2/10 score and limited review activity. The most important findings are the low confidence in rating and the absence of established star ratings, plus the lack of reviews and no responses to feedback. Addressing these areas can help improve trust and visibility.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Your hours against demand

Step By Step Architectural Designs aligns well with high local demand around late-morning to early-afternoon slots, especially on Saturdays and Thursdays, with 55 peak hours served and no low-demand open hours. However, several popular windows are missed around Saturday afternoon and Sunday midday. Adjusting a few hours could capture more clients while keeping staffing lean.
