Would highly recommend Kirsten Naomi Photography. My little girls photoshoot took place in a very relaxed environment and Kirsten managed to capture some amazing photos despite my very active little girl who doesn't stay still for very long...

Response from the owner

Thanks Sarah - we loved photographing your delightful little girl! I’m so glad you love the images!

Where customers find you

Kirsten Naomi Photography shows an above-average health score for citations and social presence, with a 6.1 out of 10. A key strength is a very high trust Facebook profile, indicating solid audience engagement and branding. Opportunities to improve focus on expanding TikTok and Yellow Page presence, and leveraging Instagram more consistently to maintain trust and discoverability.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 2
    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
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.
  • 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

Kirsten Naomi Photography's on-page health sits at 6.4 out of 10, which is above average. The site has a valid favicon, a fast load time under 3 seconds, and an SEO-friendly URL as well as a proper H1 tag and relevant title tag. Two key findings: the meta description is outside ideal length, and render-blocking resources could be delaying perceived performance.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Kirsten Naomi Photography's opening hours show partial alignment with Christchurch demand: 23 peak hours open but 57 popular hours missed. Strong alignment midday on Monday (11am-2pm) and Wednesday (12pm). Missed opportunities include Monday late afternoon and some evenings (Mon 3-4pm, Wed 6pm, Tue/Wed 8pm). One low-demand open hour (Fri 1pm) suggests a small inefficiency.
