01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Lincoln Law shows solid online presence with a health score of 7.3 out of 10, indicating good overall health. The listing is claimed and verified, with a direct phone number and a website link, and the listing clearly displays open status. Strengths include verified control, easy contact, and clear status for prospective clients.

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 gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Lincoln Law shows a mixed health picture on Google reviews, scoring 5.1/10 and improving but needs engagement. The strongest slot is rating confidence and listing metrics, while the response rate remains zero, dampening trust. Overall, momentum is positive in listings and star rating but can improve with owner responses to reviews.

Strengths

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
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Top two opportunities

Where customers find you

Lincoln Law shows a solid overall health in social presence with a 7.5 out of 10. Key strengths include an outstanding Facebook profile with very high trust and an accurate LinkedIn listing. The main opportunities lie in expanding profiles and directories, notably Instagram, TikTok, TikTok Directory, GrabOne, and Neighbourly, to improve visibility and trust among 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.
  • ✓
    Find A Lawyer FirmWe can see your Find A Lawyer Firm listing (https://findalawyer.co.nz/lincoln-law-limited) 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
    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.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Lincoln Law shows an above-average on-page health score of 6.7 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating solid technical SEO health with room to refine. Key strengths include an outstanding on-page SEO score, a valid favicon, fast load times, no frames, and secure HTTPS content. The main opportunities focus on meta and title tag adjustments, text-to-page size balance, and reducing render-blocking resources.

Strengths

  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 3
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Lincoln Law's opening hours align well with weekday midday demand, particularly around Tuesday and Thursday lunch hours. Several key peak windows are covered, but the practice misses a handful of popular times on weekends and an early Friday morning slot. There are no low-demand open hours, indicating efficient scheduling; selectively opening for a few high-demand periods could capture more clients.
