01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows an above-average Google Business Health score of 7.0 out of 10. The listing is claimed, has a website link and phone number, and correctly indicates open status, reflecting solid foundational optimisation. The most notable findings are a functional listing with direct contact details and visibility of hours, plus room to improve the description and photos to reach higher local benchmarks.

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 is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows an overall health score of 5.4 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating average performance. The top findings point to a lack of responses to any reviews, which can erode trust, and solid momentum in rating confidence and star rating that should be built on. The business should prioritise engaging with customers publicly while continuing the positive trend in reviews.

Strengths

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

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
    Star ratingYour rating sits below what half the businesses here carry, which gives a customer choosing between three of you a reason to pick one of the others.

Where you show up on the map

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows a below-average health score on Google Maps, at 4.0 out of 10, indicating room for growth in overall visibility and local prominence. Top rankings highlight several strong keywords focused on conveyancing and local suburbs, especially in Dallington and Avondale. The main opportunities centre on improving aggregate and borough-level Maps visibility.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

    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, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows a solid on-page SEO health with a 7.7 out of 10. The strengths include an optimal Title Tag, a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, presence of an H1 tag, and adequate page text. The most impactful insights relate to meta description length and render-blocking resources that affect load time and visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits just outside a workable length, so a searcher either gets less than the space allows or loses the tail of it.

How people find you on Google

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows below-average website traffic health, with a 3.8/10 health score. Organic traffic value is above the 25th percentile, but paid traffic remains largely untapped. The main opportunity is to start small paid campaigns and refine SEO basics to improve visibility and conversions for potential clients.

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.

Your hours against demand

Dallison & Co Solicitors shows mixed alignment between published hours and local demand. Forty weekly open hours align with popular search times, but the area registers 41 missed high-demand hours, giving a low timing health score. Strengths are focused weekday mid-day coverage; gaps are mainly at weekend and early-morning times. Consider limited weekend or early-morning openings to capture unmet demand.
