01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Lotus Law shows a healthy listing with strong basics such as claimed status, phone number and website link, and an open-for-business indicator. The top takeaway is ongoing work to improve the listing description and logo to strengthen local presence, alongside continuing photo updates to boost visibility.

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
    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.
  • 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

Lotus Law shows a moderate overall health score for Google Reviews, at 5.6 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in engagement and volume. The standout finding is a top-10% star rating, signalling high customer satisfaction. A key constraint is the lack of responses to reviews, which risks diminishing trust and visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

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 countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 3
    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.

Where you show up on the map

Lotus Law shows a high overall Google Maps health score of 7.9 out of 10, indicating strong visibility in maps searches for Christchurch and local suburbs. The top opportunities focus on sustaining performance across suburbs and consolidating presence in the business's own borough. Notable keywords show strong performance for conveyancer and law firm terms in Waltham, Sydenham and Phillipstown.

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

Lotus Law shows a very high health score of 9.4, indicating strong presence on social profiles and directories. The strongest recent findings are very high trust scores for Instagram and Facebook and a well-maintained LinkedIn Company listing. Opportunities include adding TikTok, Yellow Directory and LinkedIn presence to broaden reach and trust.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/lotus-law-2025) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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
    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.
  • 3
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Lotus Law shows solid on-page SEO health overall, with a health score of 4.6 out of 10, indicating mid-range performance. The most notable findings are the valid favicon, small page size, and a relevant meta description, which support crawlability and user trust. Opportunities include improving the on-page SEO score, adjusting the title tag length, refining the meta description length, and reducing render-blocking resources.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.

How people find you on Google

Lotus Law's Website Traffic health scores 6.8 out of 10, which sits above average for the local market. The domain shows solid organic traffic and keyword footprint, but paid activity remains underdeveloped. The most important findings are the missing paid spend signals and opportunities to grow both paid and organic visibility through targeted campaigns and steady content and backlinks.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

    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.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

    Search terms you advertise onYou are not covering any search terms with ads, which for most local businesses here is normal.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Lotus Law's opening hours align reasonably with weekday midday demand but miss several notable high-demand windows. Key matches: Tuesday and Thursday late morning and Tuesday-Wednesday lunchtime, when searches peak. Missed opportunities include weekend afternoons (Sunday 1-2pm), Saturday morning, Friday early morning and a Saturday evening slot. No low-demand open hours were flagged; consider modestly extending weekend and early-Friday hours where demand and trust scores suggest commercial potential.
