Your Google listing

Helmores Lawyers shows a solid presence on Google, with a health score of 6.0 out of 10, indicating above-average performance but room for improvement. Key strengths include a claimed listing, clear phone number and a working website link, and open-for-business status that informs customers about availability.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Your reviews

Helmores Lawyers shows an above-average health score for Google reviews, reflecting solid performance. The most important findings are that no responses have been posted to reviews yet, which can affect trust, and that the overall star rating and review volume place the firm competitively with room to move into higher performance tiers.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit ahead of half the field here, so a customer has enough to go on and no reason to hesitate.

Where you show up on the map

Helmores Lawyers shows a very high health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating strong visibility in Google Maps. The top findings highlight solid momentum in aggregate local performance and good suburb-level presence, with room to push into top borough performers.

Strengths

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches more often than the middle of your suburb, so a customer searching nearby is likely to see you in the first handful.

Where customers find you

Helmores Lawyers shows a healthy social presence with a health score of 8.2 out of 10. The strongest asset is an outstanding Facebook profile with very high trust, supplemented by accurate LinkedIn Company and Profile listings. Opportunities lie in adding active profiles on Instagram and TikTok and ensuring directory listings are complete and current.

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.
  • ✓
    Lawzana LawyerWe can see your Lawzana Lawyer listing (https://lawzana.com/helmores-lawyers) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Find A Lawyer FirmWe can see your Find A Lawyer Firm listing (https://findalawyer.co.nz/helmores) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 3
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Helmores Lawyers shows below-average on-page health with a 4.2/10 score. Strengths include a valid favicon, relevant meta description, page load time under 3 seconds, secure content via HTTPS, and an SEO-friendly URL. The most impactful findings are the need to improve title tag length and meta description length, and to address render-blocking resources and frame usage to lift overall on-page SEO.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    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 youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Helmores Lawyers shows reasonable temporal alignment but with clear gaps. The firm is open during high-demand weekday lunch and mid-morning slots (notably Tuesday 12-1pm, Wednesday 12pm, Thursday 10-11am) yet is closed during several popular weekend and early-morning hours (Saturday 10am, Sunday 1-2pm, Friday 8am, Saturday 8pm). No open hours fall in low-demand periods, so any changes should focus on capturing missed peaks rather than cutting time.
