Your Google listing

Belinda Lansley Photography shows a solid overall health score with room for refinement of the listing description. The listing has a website link, claimed status, a visible title, a phone number, and open-for-business status, which supports easy customer contact and clarity about availability.

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 opportunity

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.

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 pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Belinda Lansley Photography shows a very high on-page SEO health score, indicating solid technical foundations for search indexing. Key strengths include a perfect title tag length and a perfect meta description, plus a valid favicon and an appropriately sized page under 256KB. The main opportunity lies in reducing render-blocking resources to improve perceived speed.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    On-page scoreMost checks on your home page pass, so someone clicking through from a search gets a page that opens quickly and says what it is.
  • 3
    Domain Age ScoreYour domain has been registered longer than about half the businesses here, which means it has had time to collect the links and mentions a newer address has not.

How people find you on Google

Belinda Lansley Photography shows a very high health score for website traffic, indicating strong organic visibility and engagement. The most notable findings are outstanding organic traffic totals and top local SERP coverage, with organic value and overall rankings reinforcing a solid foundation. Paid channels show room for cautious growth, but current results are healthy overall.

Strengths

  • ✓
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth more than almost any business in this market - an enquiry stream with no cost per click behind it.
  • ✓
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws more visitors from search than almost any business in this market - a stream of enquiries arriving at no cost per visit.

Your hours against demand

Belinda Lansley Photography's published hours are largely aligned with Christchurch demand for family and portrait photography, with no peak-period closures. Key daytime slots on Monday and Wednesday match strong local interest. A small number of low-demand hours - early mornings and late evenings - are open and could be scaled back or converted to appointment-only to reduce downtime while preserving premium sunset sessions.
