Your Google listing

Cuningham Taylor Law shows a very healthy Google Business Listing, with a score of 8.8 out of 10 and strong basics in place. The profile already includes a claimed listing, a valid phone number, a website link, and an up-to-date open/closed status. The description is solid, and photos are competitive, supporting credibility with local customers.

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 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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.
  • 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.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps Search Performance health for Cuningham Taylor Law shows an above-average score of 5.8 out of 10, indicating solid visibility in Google Maps and room to grow. Top opportunities focus on strengthening aggregate map visibility across suburbs and further boosting the firm's borough presence to reach the local midpoint and beyond.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Cuningham Taylor Law shows a below-average health score of 3.4 out of 10, indicating limited social presence and directory activity. The key finding is an active LinkedIn Company listing that helps reach customers, but there are no confirmed profiles on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, and incomplete Yellow and TikTok Directory listings that limit local visibility.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Cuningham Taylor Law shows below-average on-page SEO health with a 3.6/10 overall. The strongest recent gains are a valid favicon, a relevant meta description, an HTTPS-secure site, an SEO-friendly URL, and no frames. The current gap lies in meta description absence, page load speed, render-blocking resources, and title tag length, all contributing to limited crawl friendliness and user experience.

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.
  • ✓
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than almost any business in this market.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.

How people find you on Google

Cuningham Taylor Law shows an average health score for Website Traffic at 5.6 out of 10. Overall, traffic activity is modest, with some opportunities to improve paid and organic visibility. Key findings include no measurable paid traffic yet and organic performance above the bottom quartile, suggesting SEO work is paying off but paid strategies need initial momentum.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.
