01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Alpers & Co shows a fragile overall health with a 4.3 out of 10. The listing benefits from claimed status, an accessible phone number, a website link, and a visible listing title, which support visibility and credibility. The biggest gaps are a lack of a meaningful description and a logo, and limited photos that keep the listing bottom quartile for images.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Where you show up on the map

Alpers & Co shows a high overall health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating strong visibility across Google Maps. The borough-specific ranking is outstanding, placing the business in the top decile for Bryndwr visibility. The main opportunity is to maintain and slightly grow aggregate coverage by keeping updates regular to push the ranking even higher.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.
  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Where customers find you

Alpers & Co shows a very low social and directory health score of 0.8 out of 10. The health indicates limited presence across key platforms and directories, limiting local visibility and trust. The most important findings are the absence of active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Yellow Profile, and LinkedIn Company, which constrains reach with potential clients seeking property conveyancing services.

Your website

Alpers & Co shows a low on-page SEO health score, with 1.8 out of 10, indicating significant technical gaps on the homepage. The most important findings are the missing meta description and title tag, and the absence of a valid favicon, all of which limit visibility and click-through potential.

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.

Top three opportunities

    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.

How people find you on Google

Alpers & Co shows a low overall health score for Website Traffic, indicating room for improvement in both organic and paid traffic. The strongest early signal is that organic traffic value and total organic traffic are near zero, suggesting content and SEO work is a priority. Paid channels also show little evidence of spend or activity.
