01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

W H McMenamin's Google Business Listing shows a low overall health score of 2.3 out of 10. The listing has strong basics-title, claimed status, phone number, and full address-but lacks a website link, a meaningful description, photos, and a logo. These gaps limit visibility and trust for local customers in Christchurch.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

W H McMenamin's published hours partly match Christchurch demand: several midweek midday slots are open during clear peaks, while notable high-demand windows on weekends and early Friday mornings are closed. The practice has 40 well-aligned peak hours but also 41 missed high-demand hours. No low-demand open hours were identified, so the firm's schedule is efficient but could capture extra clients by shifting limited hours into missed peak windows.
