01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Maciaszek Brown Law shows a solid Google Business presence with a health score of 6.9 out of 10, indicating above-average overall health and room for targeted improvements. The listing already includes a claimed status, a website link, a visible title, open-for-business status, and a phone number. Key strengths include clear ownership of the listing and accessible contact options for clients and potential customers.

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
    Category fitYour categories cover less of this market than nearly every competitor, so someone searching for a job you actually do is shown a list your listing was never entered into.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

Your reviews

Maciaszek Brown Law shows an above-average health score of 6.1 out of 10, indicating overall solid performance in Google reviews. The strongest point is rating confidence and listing reach, with room to grow in engagement. The main opportunities are to start replying to all reviews, continue improving the rating toward the midpoint, and maintain rating trust while keeping a steady flow of 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
    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

Maciaszek Brown Law shows a below-average overall health score in Google Maps at 2.9 out of 10. The business already ranks in a few broader maps queries, with the strongest performance for civil law and lawyer keywords in Edgeware and surrounding areas. The topology highlights a minimal local presence that offers room to improve visibility in the borough and city-wide searches.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Maciaszek Brown Law shows an above-average health score of 6.0 out of 10 for social presence and directory presence. Strengths include a highly trusted Facebook profile and an accurate LinkedIn listing, indicating solid professional visibility. Opportunities focus on building missing profiles (Instagram, TikTok) and completing Neighbourly and Yellow Directory entries to improve local trust and discoverability.

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.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/maciaszek-brown-law-2) 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.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.
  • ✓
    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
    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

Maciaszek Brown Law shows below average on-page health with a 3.5/10. The business benefits from a valid favicon, an SEO-friendly URL and a clear H1 and title tag. The top findings indicate missing meta description and render-blocking resources that slow load times, while improving the on-page SEO score is still needed to move out of the bottom quartile.

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
    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.
  • 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 profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.

How people find you on Google

Maciaszek Brown Law shows moderate website traffic health with a 4.7/10 score. The notable findings are that paid traffic activity is almost non-existent and paid keywords are not present in top results, while organic traffic remains modestly strong and improving. The overall signal suggests steady reach but clear opportunities to grow paid visibility and refine SEO basics.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Maciaszek Brown Law's opening hours partly match Christchurch demand: core weekday lunch and late-morning hours align with searches, but several popular weekend and early-morning windows are missed. The firm is open during high-demand weekday mid-day slots (notably Tuesday and Thursday late morning to early afternoon), and there are no obvious low-demand open hours to trim without losing coverage.
