01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Burnside Law Centre's Google Business Listing shows a mixed health picture with a score of 0.6 out of 10, indicating significant gaps. The strongest elements are a clear listing title, a listed phone number, a complete address and a main image, which support accessibility and first impressions. Key issues relate to ownership, web link, status, description, and photos.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Burnside Law Centre shows an overall health score of 4.0 out of 10, which is below average for the market. The smallest issues are in engagement and volume, but the listing is gaining traction with more customer feedback. The strongest signal is the improving rating trend and growing review count, indicating room for growth with targeted actions.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

    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 more often than nearly every business in your suburb, so a customer searching nearby sees you before most of your competition.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Burnside Law Centre has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be measured directly. The absence of hours likely creates missed opportunities during known peak search periods and reduces discoverability. Adding clear, localised opening hours should be the immediate priority so demand-driven adjustments can be identified and implemented to improve commercial alignment.
