01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

White Fox & Jones shows solid health with room to improve branding visuals. The listing is claimed, with a live website link and clear phone number, and the open status is accurate, which supports customer trust. The main opportunity is adding a logo to strengthen brand recognition, while photos should continue to grow toward the local midpoint.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

Your reviews

White Fox & Jones shows an overall health score of 5.7 out of 10 for Google reviews, indicating average performance. The most notable findings are that no reviews have been responded to, and the business is making steady progress on total reviews and star rating that place it around the middle locally. Engagement improvements are needed but overall metrics are trending upward.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.

Where you show up on the map

White Fox & Jones shows a below-average health score for Google Maps performance, with limited overall visibility. The firm ranks well for several bankruptcy and real estate related keywords in Edgeware, Christchurch Centre, Hoon Hay and Waltham, indicating targeted strengths in insolvency and property law 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 less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

White Fox & Jones has a health score of 4.8 out of 10, indicating average presence in social platforms and directories. The most important finding is a missing active Instagram and TikTok, plus opportunities to strengthen Facebook, Neighbourly, and Yellow Directory listings. The business should prioritise social presence updates to build trust and discoverability among local customers.

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 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 phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

White Fox & Jones shows a very high on-page SEO health, indicating strong technical optimisation for the homepage. The strongest finding is a solid meta description and a valid favicon, with adequate page text. A key focus remains addressing the missing H1 tag and fine-tuning the title tag to sit in the ideal 50-60 character range for maximum impact.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, so a reasonable spread of places vouch for you.

How people find you on Google

White Fox & Jones shows a solid website traffic health score of 7.9 out of 10, indicating strong organic visibility and traffic relative to peers. The standout achievement is reaching the local top 10% for organic traffic. This suggests the site delivers value and has a good link profile, supporting continued growth with consistent content and improved site experience.

Strengths

Your hours against demand

White Fox & Jones has partial alignment between published hours and local demand. Peak alignment occurs midweek around midday and late morning on Thursday and Tuesday, but the firm misses several popular weekend and early-morning windows. There are no low-demand hours open, so no obvious waste. Adjusting a small number of sessions toward high-demand slots could improve commercial reach without adding overall hours.
