01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

SettleNZ Consulting Limited shows a solid listing health with a 7.3/10 score, indicating strong existing setup but room for refinement. Key strengths include claimed status, a live phone number, a website link, and an open-for-business indicator, which helps convert local searches into inquiries. The business should maintain these foundations while pursuing listed opportunities to improve description and photos.

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 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 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.

The business has strong achievements in star rating, total reviews and a top-10% standing, indicating high customer satisfaction and solid local reputation. The main improvement area is engaging with customers by responding to reviews to boost trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you at the head of this market: well rated, with enough reviews behind it that a customer takes the number seriously.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Top opportunity

  • 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.

The business shows strength in top local ranking for immigration attorney terms in Rolleston and Selwyn district, particularly in Rolleston north/east, north/west, and south east/west.

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

SettleNZ Consulting Limited shows a solid overall health with a 7.9/10 (High) for social presence and directory presence. Strengths include a strong Facebook presence and active LinkedIn profiles linked to the business and its leadership. The most important finding is the high engagement potential on Facebook and the credibility built by LinkedIn listings, while opportunities lie in expanding Instagram, TikTok, Yellow Profile, TikTok Directory and GrabOne listings.

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 ProfileWe can see your LinkedIn Profile listing (https://linkedin.com/in/manish-sharma-settlenz) found via: Google search results, Your website.
  • ✓
    Top Lawyers ListingWe can see your Top Lawyers Listing listing (https://toplawyers.co.nz/settlenz-consulting-limited-christchurch) 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.
  • ✓
    Recommendations on your pageYour recommendation count is one of the deeper collections in this market, and enough of it is written by other people that the page does some of the arguing for you.
  • ✓
    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 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
    A street addressYour page publishes no street address, so someone deciding whether you are near enough to bother with has nothing to check and moves on to a page that tells them.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro is shorter than half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

SettleNZ Consulting Limited shows an average on-page SEO health score of 4.3 out of 10, indicating room for improvement in technical factors and content signals. The most notable findings are the missing meta description on the homepage and the opportunity to improve on-page SEO score and load times. Current strengths include a well-optimized title tag, an SEO-friendly URL, and adequate page text.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 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

SettleNZ Consulting Limited shows a below-average traffic health score of 3.5 out of 10 for website traffic. Organic traffic value is above the 25th percentile, indicating some SEO fundamentals are working, while paid traffic shows no measurable spend or conversions. Key opportunities focus on starting targeted paid campaigns and improving organic traffic signals to attract more enquiries from potential migrants.

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 search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

SettleNZ Consulting's hours broadly match mid-day demand, with 37 well-aligned peak hours across the week. Strong alignment includes Tuesday 12-1pm, Tuesday 3pm, Wednesday 12pm and Thursday 11am. However, several high-demand mornings are closed-Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 9-10am windows-creating missed enquiries. A small number of evening hours (Tues-Fri 6pm) are open during low demand and could be reviewed for cost efficiency.
