01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Vega shows an average overall health score for its Google Business Listing, with clear strengths in ownership control and accessible contact details. The listing already reflects trading status, claimed status, a valid business name, and a working website link, which supports customer trust and easy navigation. However, the health is not optimal and attention is needed on completeness and imagery.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

Vega shows low overall health in Google Maps search (1.8/10). The strongest performance is in a few central Auckland themes, notably as a finance broker in Saint Marys Bay, Wesley, Highland Park and Morningside. The main opportunities involve improving in the business's own suburb searches and increasing visibility across surrounding suburbs through consistent review activity.

Strengths

  • 2

04Listings and socialMarketbase business report

Where customers find you

Vega shows a very high health score for social presence at 9.2, indicating strong integration across platforms. The strongest current strengths are active Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn Company listings that align with Google presence, supporting trust with customers. The main focus is ensuring Yellow Directory, Yellow Profile and LinkedIn profiles are created or claimed to avoid gaps in 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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/vega-lend) found via: Google search results, Your website.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    LinkedIn ProfileWe could not find an active LinkedIn Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Vega's Facebook page health is below average (4.1/10). The page has useful basics: a chosen username, an email address and a street address, plus a cover photo and 2,640 followers that provide a real local audience. Key gaps are the page link pointing to a Linktree rather than the business's own site and the absence of a published phone number, which makes it harder for customers to call.

Strengths

  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.
  • 2
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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 scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The closed hours are largely well placed against demand: more of the time the business is closed falls in quiet hours. Sunday 12pm to 4pm is closed, where customers meet a closed door and may go elsewhere. Opening Sunday 12pm to 4pm, the busiest hours there, lets customers arrive and be served.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.

Where we can help
