01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Trollope & Co shows a low overall Google Business Listing health at 2.6 out of 10, signalling notable gaps that affect how customers find and contact the firm. The listing already provides a website link, phone number, title, and full address, but critical items remain missing. Key takeaway is that the listing needs ownership confirmation and richer content to improve visibility and trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

Your reviews

Trollope & Co shows a below-average overall health score of 3.8 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating limited review activity and engagement. The top findings highlight a zero response rate to reviews, a solid start with at least one review, and momentum in listing reviews that could improve confidence and trust with clients if continued.

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 well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 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

Trollope & Co shows a below-average health score in Google Maps at 3.3 out of 10, indicating limited visibility across Maps searches. The strongest performance is in several bankruptcy-related terms with top-5 rankings in Edgeware, Lyttelton, and Merivale. Key opportunity lies in aligning the suburb/borough listing to the exact queried spelling and improving aggregate scores to capture broader searches.

  • 2

Where customers find you

Trollope & Co shows a solid overall health in the Citations & Social Presence area, with an 8.3 out of 10. The strongest current achievement is a very high trust Facebook presence, supported by a high website trust score. The main opportunity is expanding and improving profiles on other platforms to enhance discoverability 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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page through search alone, with no link from your own website and nothing on your Google listing.
  • 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 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 follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Trollope & Co shows a very strong on-page SEO health score (9.7/10), indicating a technically solid homepage. The prominent findings include an excellent meta description at 130-150 characters and a valid favicon, both supporting search results and brand visibility. Two immediate focal points are fine-tuning the title tag to fit the ideal 50-60 character window and addressing render-blocking resources to improve perceived speed.

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.
  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to you than half the businesses here, which means a customer researching your trade reads someone else's explanation of it rather than yours.

How people find you on Google

Trollope & Co shows solid traffic health but significant gaps in paid and organic visibility. The overall health score is 4.9/10, indicating mid-range performance for a local Christchurch law firm. Key takeaways: paid traffic is not yet detected and organic value is mid-range, with room to grow through targeted improvements on paid spend, landing pages, and content or link-building.
