01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Your Legal Christchurch shows a very healthy Google Business Listing with a 9.3/10 health score. The strongest findings are that the listing is claimed and verified, includes a website link, and provides a contact phone number, ensuring easy customer access and control. The description and photo count are solid but have room to push toward the top 10%.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

Your reviews

Your Legal Christchurch shows a very high health score on Google Business Reviews, reflecting strong local reputation and ample social proof. The business also has outstanding total reviews, placing it in the top 10% for that metric. A key finding is that no reviews have been replied to yet, suggesting some opportunity to improve engagement with customers.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

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 confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Opportunities lie in adding and updating profiles across several platforms to improve discoverability and reach.

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.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 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

Your Legal Christchurch shows a very high on-page SEO health, with a score of 9.4 out of 10. The most important findings are strong title tag health and a valid favicon, both supporting quick clarity for search engines and customers, and a present H1 tag for page structure. There is room to optimise the meta description and improve text-to-page size balance.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain is younger than most businesses here.

Your hours against demand

Your Legal Christchurch shows mixed alignment between published hours and local demand. The practice is open during several strong weekday peak windows around mid-day and late morning, but it misses notable high-demand periods on weekends and an early Friday morning. There are no low-demand open hours, suggesting hours are not wasteful, yet several popular customer windows remain closed and reduce convenience for property clients.

Strengths

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