How we got this number

Findable in Bay of Plenty: 63.6%
Among NZ businesses whose own website List-It has read, a business counts as findable when that website exposed at least 3 of 4 facts an AI assistant needs: a description of what it does, a valid phone number, a logo, and a social profile. Every fact is read from the business’s own website. Nothing List-It has added to a page counts towards its score.
4,453 of 7,002

The denominator is every entity on the NZBN register, dormant companies and holding companies included. We do not filter it, because any filter would be a guess. Treat these as figures for the register, not for the trading economy.

Check it yourself. Any single business can be run through the free check, which shows the same four facts for that business, so you can test the method on a business you know.
