01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

ARC Legal's Google Business Profile shows an overall health of 3.4 out of 10, indicating below-average performance and room for improvement. The listing is claimed and has a website link, a full address and a main image, which helps credibility. Current strengths include ownership control and visible contact through the website, while opportunities focus on status, phone details, photos, and description optimization.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

ARC Legal shows a below-average Google review health score of 3.4 out of 10, indicating significant room for improvement in public customer feedback and engagement. The business has a strong star rating placement in the top 10% but has not yet engaged with reviews through responses. The most impactful finding is the need to start replying to reviews to build trust, alongside continuing to encourage more reviews to lift overall rating momentum.

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

ARC Legal shows a very low health score for Google Maps at 0.7/10, indicating limited visibility. The top opportunities focus on improving aggregate and borough-specific Maps rankings and ensuring the listing address aligns with the queried suburb to avoid misalignment in searches. Strongest keywords show the firm ranking in several paralegal service queries in nearby suburbs.

Where customers find you

ARC Legal shows a high level of social presence health with strong Facebook and LinkedIn presence. The most important findings are the outstanding Facebook profile with very high trust and active LinkedIn company and profile listings, indicating solid professional reach and credibility.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/arclegalco) found via: Google search results.

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.

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
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    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

ARC Legal's on-page health is low, with a 1.9/10 overall score. Key findings show no on-page SEO score detected, no meta description on the homepage, and no title tag. Implementing a baseline structure, a concise meta description and a descriptive title tag will improve 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

  • 1
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    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

ARC Legal shows a low overall health for Website Traffic, with a score of 2.2 out of 10. The key takeaways are minimal organic traffic value and no positive organic traffic yet. There is also no organic keywords in the top 100. Paid traffic shows no clear spend or measurable activity. These findings suggest starting small, targeted actions to build basic visibility and traffic.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

ARC Legal has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured. This absence likely creates missed opportunities during high-demand windows and prevents identification of strong alignment or inefficiencies. To improve commercial fit, ARC Legal should publish accurate hours and monitor city-level demand data, then trial core daytime coverage aligned to client search patterns and by-appointment slots outside peak times.
