Your Google listing

VIP Design shows a below-average health score on Google Business Listing at 3.1/10, with room for improvement in status visibility and description depth. Strengths include a listed website link, a clearly claimed listing, a visible phone number, and a complete address, which support accessibility and trust. Attention should focus on updating open/closed status and continuing photo and description enhancements.

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 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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Your reviews

VIP Design shows very low health on Google Reviews with significant room for improvement. The two most important findings are the absence of a documented star rating and no customer reviews yet, plus no responses to any reviews, which can undermine trust among potential clients.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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.

Where you show up on the map

VIP Design shows a health score of 5.7 out of 10 for Google Maps search visibility, indicating average overall presence. Top findings reveal strong positioning for "architectural designer in bromley" and "building designer in bromley" (both rank 2) and solid ranks for related terms like "architect in bromley" (5) and "architecture firm in bromley" (10). Focus remains on improving aggregate and borough results to move into higher tiers.

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 more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

VIP Design shows an above-average health in social presence with a 7.0/10 health score. The top findings indicate strong Instagram and Facebook profiles and a well-placed LinkedIn Company listing, demonstrating credible, active channels. Opportunities lie in expanding presence on TikTok, TikTok Directory, LinkedIn, GrabOne and Neighbourly to broaden reach and trust.

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/vipdesign) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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

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 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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

VIP Design shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 8.8 out of 10, indicating strong technical foundations. The most notable findings are an ideal title tag length that is already in the perfect range and a valid favicon, which helps brand recognition in tabs and bookmarks.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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 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

VIP Design shows a solid but mid-range overall traffic health, indicating room for growth in paid and organic visibility. The strongest signals are that organic traffic total is above the bottom quartile and organic value sits mid-range, suggesting optimisation opportunities around keywords, site navigation and content. Paid activity is limited with clear avenues to start targeted campaigns.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

VIP Design has no recorded opening hours, so no alignment with Christchurch demand patterns can be identified. That absence means missed opportunities during city-level high-demand windows for architectural services, and it also prevents assessment of any inefficiencies from being open during low-demand times. Adding clear, accurate hours is the first practical step to improve temporal alignment and local discoverability.
