Your Google listing

Bayleys Prestons shows a solid overall health with room to improve listing visuals. The listing is claimed, has a website link and a visible phone number, and Open-for-Business status is correct. The most notable findings are the strong setup and accessible contact, plus opportunities to elevate photos and optimise the description to secure a higher standing among locals.

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
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Bayleys Prestons shows a stable overall health with room to improve Google review metrics. The business has a strong star rating in the top 10% but needs more total reviews and better response consistency to build trust and shift into the upper half of local listings.

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 confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.
  • 2
    Response rateYou reply to some of your reviews but not most, so a customer scrolling your page finds long stretches where nobody answered.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
4 checks on your reviews. You're seeing all of them.

Where you show up on the map

Bayleys Prestons shows very low overall health in Google Maps search presence, with a 0.3/10 score. The top findings indicate minimal aggregate visibility across suburbs and potential misalignment in the suburb/borough listing. The strongest keyword focus is niche (real estate attorney in marshland) but overall map visibility needs significant improvement to reach more local customers.

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 barely turn up in Google Maps searches across the suburbs around you, so the customers who search by what they need rather than by your name never see you at all.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbWe are not seeing you in Maps searches in your own suburb, which is the search a customer standing a street away actually makes.

Where customers find you

Bayleys Prestons shows a concerning health score of 2.4 out of 10 for social presence, indicating low visibility across key local platforms. The most notable finding is a very strong Facebook presence, with a 'very high' trust score. This anchors credibility, but other platforms lag and reduce overall reach.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds 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.

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Your website

Bayleys Prestons shows a very high on-page SEO health score of 8.6 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation for the homepage. The most notable findings include a solid favicon, good text-to-page size ratio, HTTPS-only resources, and a compact page size, all of which support fast loading and clear indexing for search engines.

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 Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.

Top opportunity

    Domain UniquenessYour web address belongs to a platform rather than to you - a social page or a site builder's own domain.

Your hours against demand

Bayleys Prestons shows very high temporal alignment with local demand (health score 9.4/10), but city-level popularity data is not available to pinpoint exact peak hours. The current published hours appear broadly appropriate for clients searching for real estate services in Marshland and northeast Christchurch. Specific hour-level adjustments can't be identified without local search-volume details.
