Your Google listing

Mortlock McCormack Law shows a solid health score for its Google Business Listing, with clear control and up-to-date contact details. The health score of 7.4 out of 10 indicates strong presence but room for minor improvements. The most important findings are the listing being claimed and the accessible phone number, plus a website link that supports customer discovery.

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
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Your reviews

Mortlock McCormack Law shows a high overall health score for Google Reviews, indicating solid customer sentiment and engagement. The most notable findings are a strong rating confidence and a solid review base, with room to improve by increasing response to reviews. The business should maintain momentum in ratings while starting to engage customers publicly to build trust.

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 ahead of half the businesses here, so the number is not pushing anyone away.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.

Where you show up on the map

Mortlock McCormack Law shows a very high overall health score for Google Maps search performance, indicating strong visibility across city-wide searches and solid presence in the local borough. The top opportunities highlight continuing momentum in aggregate visibility and maintaining a competitive position within the suburb, with room to push into the top performers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    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

Mortlock McCormack Law shows a solid health score for social presence, with room to grow on Instagram, TikTok, GrabOne, and Neighbourly profiles. The strongest current strengths are an active Facebook profile linked to owned assets and a LinkedIn Company listing that mirrors the Google listing. Key opportunities focus on establishing missing profiles and ensuring consistent contact details.

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.
  • ✓
    LinkedIn CompanyWe can see your LinkedIn Company listing (https://linkedin.com/company/mortlock-mccormack-law) found via: Google search results, Your website.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/mortlock-mccormack-law-durham) 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 page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    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

Mortlock McCormack Law shows a low on-page SEO health score of 2.8 out of 10, indicating substantial room for improvement. The key strengths include fast page load times under 3 seconds, no render-blocking resources, no use of frames, HTTPS-secure content, and an SEO-friendly URL. Immediate focus should be on establishing a meta description and adjusting the title tag to optimise visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Secure content linksThe links on your site point at secure versions of your pages, so nobody is sent through an unnecessary redirect on the way in.

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
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 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.

Your hours against demand

Mortlock McCormack Law's published hours match local demand during weekday lunch and mid-morning peaks, with strong alignment on Tuesday 12-1pm, Wednesday 12pm and Thursday 10-11am. There are no low-demand open hours, so current schedule is efficient during quiet periods. However several popular weekend and early-morning slots are missed while competitors could capture those searches.
