01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows a solid health score with room to improve. The listing already provides a website link, a titled listing, claimed status, a visible phone number, and open-for-business status, which supports easy customer contact. The most notable gaps are few or no photos and a description that remains below local midpoint but improving.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows an above-average overall health on Google Business Reviews, with a 5.8/10 health score. The top achievement is a star rating in the top 10%, indicating strong customer satisfaction. A key opportunity is to start replying to reviews to boost trust, while already having some reviews and good rating confidence that can be built on.

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 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.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows a healthy baseline on Google Maps, with a 4.9/10 health score indicating room for steady improvement. The strongest opportunities lie in expanding aggregate map visibility and solidifying the borough presence, which has recently moved above the bottom quartile. Focused effort on top ranking keywords can further lift overall visibility.

Strengths

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.

Where customers find you

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 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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

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
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows an on-page health score of 4.3 out of 10, indicating average technical optimisation. The most notable findings are a valid favicon, adequate text content, HTTPS content, no frames, and an SEO-friendly URL, which support search visibility. Key risks relate to meta description length, title tag length, high text-to-page size ratio, and render-blocking resources that affect load speed.

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.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.

How people find you on Google

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows a below-average health score for Website Traffic, with room to build both organic and paid traffic. The most important findings are minimal organic traffic value and no measurable paid traffic, suggesting the site could benefit from targeted content and small, structured campaigns to start capturing visitors.

    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.
  • 3

Your hours against demand

Sullivan and Wall Landscapes shows a solid midday alignment with local demand: open during weekday lunchtime peaks on Tuesday (12pm), Wednesday (11am-12pm) and Thursday (12-1pm). However, several high-demand weekend lunchtime hours are closed, notably Saturday 11am-2pm and Sunday 12pm. There are no open hours during low-demand windows, so inefficiency is minimal.
