01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

TS Architects shows a very strong Google Business Listing health with a score of 8.9 out of 10. The listing already provides a direct website link, a listed phone number, a claimed status, and open/closed status, which supports easy customer contact. The business title is present and visible, and the listing is verified, indicating reliable information for potential clients.

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 listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

TS Architects shows a very low health score on Google reviews, with limited reviews and no response activity. The strongest opportunity lies in boosting trust by gathering more reviews, especially from satisfied clients, and by starting to respond to existing feedback to demonstrate engagement.

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

Where you show up on the map

TS Architects shows very low Google Maps health for the Christchurch area, with a 0.3/10 score. This indicates limited visibility in maps searches and opportunities to improve both aggregate and suburb-specific rankings. The best-performing keywords show the practice ranking in Phillipstown, suggesting focus on location-specific optimisation.

Where customers find you

TS Architects shows a below-average health score for social presence, at 3.1 out of 10, indicating limited reach across key local directories and social platforms. The strongest note is an outstanding Instagram profile and an up-to-date LinkedIn listing, which provide credible touchpoints for clients. Key opportunities focus on establishing profiles on Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn Company, TikTok Directory and GrabOne to improve visibility.

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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/tsarchitects) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    CheckMyBuilder CompanyWe can see your CheckMyBuilder Company listing (https://checkmybuilder.co.nz/ts-architects-limited) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe could not find an active Facebook Profile page for your business, so anyone who goes there to check your hours, read your posts or send a message lands on 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 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

TS Architects shows a modest overall on-page SEO health score, with room for improvement. The site already has a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, and fast page load under 3 seconds, indicating solid basics. Key opportunities include refining meta description length and title tag length to avoid truncation and enhancing content length.

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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 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
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.

How people find you on Google

TS Architects shows a total traffic profile that is above average but with room to grow. The strongest signal is mid-range organic traffic value and solid local rankings, while paid activity remains unclear and underdeveloped. Prioritising small, targeted paid campaigns and continued content improvements could lift visibility without large spend.

Strengths

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
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

TS Architects' published hours partly align with weekday lunchtime demand, with several midweek 11am-1pm slots open during popular search windows. However, the practice is closed across peak weekend midday periods - notably Saturday and Sunday lunchtime - representing significant missed demand. No low-demand open hours were found, so inefficiency from unnecessary open hours is not evident.
