Your Google listing

Wilson & Hill Architects shows a low overall health on Google Business Listings, with a 1.9 out of 10. The profile already has a website link, title, phone number and full address, and the open-for-business status is accurate. The two most important findings are the missing claimed status and the lack of a main image, logo, and descriptive content.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 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
    Main imageYour listing has no main image, so the first picture a customer sees is whichever one Google chose for you.

Your reviews

Wilson & Hill Architects shows a below-average health score of 4.2 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The standout finding is a top-10% star rating, reflecting strong customer satisfaction. Key opportunity lies in boosting reply rates and increasing total reviews while maintaining high service quality.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

  • 2
    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.

Where customers find you

Wilson & Hill Architects shows low overall social presence health, with a 2.4 out of 10. The strongest current asset is Instagram, which already has an outstanding profile and very high trust. The main opportunities are expanding presence on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn (personal and company pages) to raise local visibility and trust among customers and clients.

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.
  • ✓
    NZIA PracticeWe can see your NZIA Practice listing (https://nzia.co.nz/wilson-hill-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

Wilson & Hill Architects shows an overall on-page health of 3.3 out of 10, indicating many optimisations are needed. The most critical findings are the missing meta description and under-optimised title tag length, which can limit click-through rates and search visibility. Other strengths include a valid favicon, avoiding frames, an SEO-friendly URL, and a compact page size.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Wilson & Hill Architects shows an above-average health score for website traffic, with room to grow paid activity and sustain organic gains. The strongest near-term opportunity lies in starting small paid campaigns and tightening landing pages, while continuing to refine content to boost organic value.

Your hours against demand

Wilson & Hill Architects generally aligns with weekday lunchtime demand but misses strong weekend peaks. The practice is open for several weekday midday hours that match local searches, with no open hours during low-demand times. However, significant Saturday and Sunday mid-day demand is unattended, suggesting targeted weekend opening or appointment windows could capture more clients without expanding total weekly hours substantially.
