Your Google listing

Bayleys Merivale shows a strong Google Business Listing health score of 8.0 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and accuracy. Primary strengths include a claimed listing with a live website link, visible open status, and a local phone number for direct inquiries. The business title is present, and the listing is claimed and verified, which supports reliable customer information.

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 Merivale shows a low overall health score on Google reviews, indicating room for improvement in customer feedback metrics. The business has a strong star rating, placing it in the top 10%, but needs more total reviews and better response engagement. Focus on maintaining high satisfaction while increasing volume of feedback and responding to more reviews to build trust.

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 rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 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

Bayleys Merivale shows very low overall health in Google Maps search, indicating limited visibility across suburbs. The top opportunities focus on improving the Google Business Listing details and ensuring address accuracy, plus checking the suburb for consistency with map queries. Key keywords that perform well include conveyancer in merivale (rank 7) and real estate attorney in merivale (rank 17).

Where customers find you

Bayleys Merivale shows low overall health (2.3/10) for citations and social presence, indicating weak visibility in local directories and social platforms. The strongest completed achievement is a very high-trust Facebook profile, which anchors trust and engagement. Critical opportunities include adding or reactivating Instagram and TikTok profiles, and establishing LinkedIn, GrabOne, and Neighbourly listings to broaden 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.

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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Bayleys Merivale shows strong on-page health with a score of 8.3 out of 10. The site has a valid favicon, secure HTTPS resources, a compact page size, an SEO-friendly URL, and a relevant meta description. The most impactful findings are that the meta description is nearly in the ideal length and the title tag is close to the optimal range, suggesting small tweaks could improve readability and SEO impact.

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

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Bayleys Merivale's opening hours largely match standard business-hour demand for property services, which typically peaks during weekday mornings and early afternoons. No city-level popularity data is available, so specific hour-by-hour alignment can't be confirmed. Noted risks include possible missed demand outside standard hours - evenings and weekends - plus potential inefficiency if the office stays open during very low-demand periods.
