01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Goldstein Jeff shows an overall below-average health on the Google Business Listing, with 2.9 out of 10. The listing has essential contact details and a full address, but lacks a meaningful description and a claimed status, which limits control and impact. A logo is missing, and photos are starting to accumulate. Overall health reflects gaps in description, branding, and ownership status.

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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
    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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

Goldstein Jeff shows as a low overall health in Google reviews, with a score of 2.1 out of 10. The business has started collecting reviews but has not yet engaged with customers via public responses. The strongest immediate lever is increasing customer feedback and beginning timely responses to reviews to build trust, followed by growing the volume of reviews to lift overall rating.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3

Where you show up on the map

Goldstein Jeff shows a very low overall Google Maps health score of 1.4 out of 10, with limited local visibility. The top findings indicate some presence in broader maps queries, and a minimal borough presence in Riccarton. Focused improvements in local rankings could lift both aggregate and borough scores over time.

Strengths

Where customers find you

All up, the health of Goldstein Jeff's citations and social presence sits at 6.6 out of 10, which is above average for the sector. The business shows strong Facebook and LinkedIn presence, but several key directory and social channels are missing or inactive, limiting reach and trust for local clients.

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.
  • ✓

Top three opportunities

  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Goldstein Jeff shows a very low on-page SEO health score, indicating major room for improvement. The most critical findings are the lack of a detected on-page SEO baseline and missing meta description and title tag on the homepage. Addressing these elements will help establish structure and improve visibility for local Riccarton clients seeking employment or contract legal services.

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

Goldstein Jeff shows a low overall traffic health, with a score of 1.5 out of 10, indicating limited organic and paid traffic activity. The top findings point to very low organic traffic value and no organic keywords in the top 100, plus no clear paid spend or paid traffic. The business should prioritise content, local SEO and small paid tests to begin building visibility.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Goldstein Jeff's published hours partially match local demand: 40 weekly hours fall during busy search times, notably midweek lunchtime and Thursday mornings, but the firm is closed during several high-demand weekend and early-morning windows. There are no low-demand open hours, so published availability is concentrated when people search, yet missed weekend and early-Friday-morning demand could leave local clients underserved.
