01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Young Hunter Lawyers shows a solid health score with room for improvement. The listing is claimed, open-for-business status is accurate, and the website link plus phone number are clearly visible, supporting easy customer inquiries. The main value lies in clear contact options and verified ownership, while the description is underdeveloped.

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
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Your reviews

The overall health is 7.2 out of 10, indicating a solid position with room for steady improvement.

Where you show up on the map

Key opportunities focus on overall aggregate scores and expanding the local borough footprint to reach a higher local midpoint.

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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

The overall health is below average with a score of 3.1 out of 10, indicating limited social presence needs attention. A key finding is the completed LinkedIn Company listing, which helps reach potential customers through that platform. Immediate action should focus on expanding active profiles on other major networks to improve visibility and trust.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Young Hunter Lawyers shows an above-average on-page SEO health score of 6.4 out of 10. The homepage performs well technically, with a fast load time and a streamlined page size, and the favicon and relevant meta description are in place. The strongest value is solid fundamentals that support quick crawling and clear branding, while opportunities focus on refining meta description length and reducing render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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 load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Young Hunter Lawyers' opening hours partly match local demand but leave clear gaps. The firm's 40 weekly open hours align with several strong midday and late-morning peaks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, yet the business is closed during 41 high-demand hours across weekends and early Friday. Practical adjustments around Saturday mornings, Sunday afternoons and an early-Friday slot could capture more client searches.
