this firm sector median leader

Largest Contentful Paint measured two ways: one throttled lab run, against 28 days of real Chrome users.
Lab (Lighthouse, mobile)
30.5s
one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)
3.2s
75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days
The lab figure is 9.6× the real-user figure. The lab test looks acceptable while real visitors are failing Core Web Vitals. This is the more serious direction of disagreement: the problem is real and a one-off lab run is missing it. The metric failing for real users is loading (LCP).
Publish structured, citable content and entity schema so AI engines surface the business for core local queries.
Build local landing pages for the core keyword basket to lift organic and local-pack appearance.
Introduce the people who do the work, on an about or team page and the credentials that matter in this sector (Propertymark, NAEA, The Property Ombudsman), and refresh stale content.
