Your Google listing

Graeme K Marshall's Google Business Listing shows a solid base with a website link, phone, full address and a main image, but overall health is very low at 0.8/10. The most important finding is that the listing is not claimed, which prevents updates and engagement, followed by an unclear status showing as closed or unknown.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Graeme K Marshall shows a low overall health score for Google Business Reviews, with room to improve on engagement and rating depth. Key findings indicate ongoing rating growth and a need for active responses to reviews, plus encouragement to grow total reviews. The business should sustain service quality and invite more feedback to raise visibility.

Where you show up on the map

Graeme K Marshall shows a low overall health score in Google Maps search results, indicating limited visibility. The strongest performance is in a handful of top-5 keywords such as tax attorney in upper riccarton and conveyancer in upper riccarton, which align with the local practice. Focus should be on expanding local visibility while maintaining these strengths.

Where customers find you

Graeme K Marshall shows solid health in the Citations & Social Presence area, with a 7.5 out of 10 health score indicating a strong overall presence. The most important findings are that a Facebook and LinkedIn presence already exist and are consistent with the business name and contact details, which supports trust with potential clients.

Strengths

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Graeme K Marshall's on-page health is very low, with a 0.3/10 health score for the homepage. Key issues include missing or weak on-page SEO signals, no detected Title Tag, no Meta Description, no valid favicon, and non-ideal URL structure. Addressing these fundamentals is essential to establish baseline visibility and user trust.

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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.

    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.

How people find you on Google

Graeme K Marshall shows very low overall website traffic health (0.3/10). The strongest signal is the lack of organic and paid traffic activity, with opportunities centred on building traffic value, increasing organic traffic, and launching small paid campaigns. Improvements should prioritise content, on-page SEO, and targeted ads to begin attracting local clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

No opening-hours data is available, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured. The report cannot identify hours where the practice is open during peak search periods, closed during popular times, or open during low-demand windows. Adding published hours will allow comparison to Christchurch demand patterns and reveal both strong alignment and missed opportunities for Riccarton legal services.
