01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

D H Mulligan Barrister shows a very low overall health on Google Business Listing. The most important finding is that the listing is not claimed, which limits control and response capabilities, followed by no website link. These issues hinder easy access to information for potential clients and affect credibility.

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

D H Mulligan Barrister shows a very low health score on Google Business reviews, indicating limited customer trust and engagement. The top findings reveal that the business has no or very few reviews, no response to existing reviews, a low overall rating confidence, and an unestablished star rating. Addressing these areas will improve credibility and attract more clients.

    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.

    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.

Where you show up on the map

D H Mulligan Barrister shows a low overall health score on Google Maps, with room to improve visibility across city-wide searches and in the local Fendalton borough.

Where customers find you

D H Mulligan Barrister shows a low overall health in social presence, with only a LinkedIn listing found. The most important finding is the absence of active profiles on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Neighbourly directories, which limits local visibility and trust.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

D H Mulligan Barrister has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured. The absence of hours is itself a problem: potential clients searching during common legal enquiry times may not find clear availability. Publishing weekday hours that match typical business-hours demand will be the first step to improve temporal visibility and remediate the very low health score.
