01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

ZenServ's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score of 3.0 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in visibility and completeness. The listing already provides a website link, a title, a claimed status, a phone number and a full address, which are solid foundations. Strength lies in ownership and contact details, while gaps exist in visuals and description.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

ZenServ shows a solid overall health on Google Business Reviews, with a 5.0/10 health score that signals room for growth in review activity and engagement. The standout finding is a top-10% star rating, indicating high customer satisfaction. Key opportunities include improving response to reviews, increasing total reviews, and continuing to build rating confidence through consistent service.

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

ZenServ shows a health score of 5.0 out of 10 for Google Maps, indicating average visibility. The business ranks well for key accounting and payroll searches in Lincoln, with the strongest positions in bookkeeping, payroll and tax-related queries, while broader terms remain mid-pack. Opportunities exist to improve aggregate Maps visibility and maintain momentum in the local suburb.

Strengths

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

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

ZenServ shows very high health in social presence, with strong Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Neighbourly profiles. The main finding is robust, multi-platform presence, but opportunities exist in TikTok, TikTok Directory, LinkedIn, GrabOne, and Yellow Directory listings to broaden discovery and trust among potential customers.

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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/zenserv) 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
    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

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.
  • ✓
    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.

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.
  • 3
    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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

ZenServ's On-Page SEO health is strong, with a score of 8.5 out of 10, indicating solid technical foundations. The most notable findings are a valid favicon, HTTPS security, a relevant meta description, and an H1 tag. Page size is kept under 256KB, supporting fast load times for visitors, while opportunities focus on further refinements to tags and speed improvements.

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
    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
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.

How people find you on Google

ZenServ's website shows a healthy but improvable traffic profile, with an overall health score of 6.7 out of 10, indicating above-average performance. The top opportunities focus on starting paid traffic activity with tight targeting, plus modest gains from improving organic value and ongoing content and technical improvements. Priorities: launch a small paid campaign, refine content, and monitor and adjust based on results.

Strengths

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

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
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than half the businesses here, so competitors are picking up searches you could be answering.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

ZenServ has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be confirmed. The health score is very low (1.4/10). Because hours are missing, there are no documented periods of strong alignment; all peak-demand windows are effectively missed opportunities. Publishing clear, demand-aligned hours will allow practical adjustments to match local SME search patterns and improve responsiveness.
