Your Google listing

Chapman Tripp's Google Business Listing shows above-average health with a 6.1/10. The listing is already claimed, has a visible phone number and a website link, and the business title is present. The main improvement needed is expanding the description to provide reasons for potential clients to learn more; photos are already strong and help with rankings.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Chapman Tripp shows an above-average health score of 6.0 out of 10 in Google reviews, indicating overall solid performance with room for improvement. The most notable finding is a top-10% star rating for customer satisfaction. A lack of responses to reviews also stands out as an area for improvement that could build trust with clients.

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
    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 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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where customers find you

Chapman Tripp shows very high health across social platforms, indicating strong current presence. The most important finding is outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles with very high trust scores, suggesting solid audience engagement. LinkedIn Company listing is present and accurate, supporting professional visibility. Opportunities exist in expanding LinkedIn, Neighbourly and Yellow directories to broaden 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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - 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/chapman-tripp) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The On-Page SEO health for Chapman Tripp is very low, at 0.7 out of 10, indicating significant gaps in technical optimisation. The most important findings are the absence of a detected on-page SEO score, and a missing Title Tag and Meta Description for the homepage, 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

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.

How people find you on Google

Chapman Tripp shows very low website traffic health, with most indicators near zero. The key findings indicate no organic traffic, minimal paid activity, and zero top-100 organic keywords, suggesting limited visibility online. The business should prioritise content and on-page SEO to start building organic reach while piloting a small paid effort to learn what converts.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Chapman Tripp's opening hours partially match Christchurch demand: several weekday lunchtime and mid-morning slots align strongly with high search activity, but a similar number of high-demand hours fall when the firm is closed. There are no clear low-demand open hours, so published hours are not wasteful. Adjusting a few weekend and early-morning hours could capture missed demand without adding unnecessary weekly hours.
