Your Google listing

Soul Studio Hot Yoga shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a 7.2/10 and clear ownership. Strengths include a claimed listing, a visible phone number, a website link, and a live Open-for-Business status, which helps customers find accurate hours. The main area for improvement is the listing description, which now sits above the bottom quartile and needs further refinement.

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 two opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.

Where you show up on the map

Soul Studio Hot Yoga shows a very high overall Google Maps health score and strong borough visibility, indicating solid local presence and likely steady client reach from Christchurch and surrounding suburbs. The top achievements highlight dominant rankings for several Bikram yoga keywords, especially in Addington-Middleton, Aidanfield, Avondale and nearby areas, suggesting a focused local keyword footprint.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility across the city groupThere is no wider Maps reach available to a business at your address - you appear across more of the surrounding suburbs than anyone in this market.
  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Where customers find you

Soul Studio Hot Yoga shows very high overall health (9.3/10). The strongest finding is outstanding Facebook and Instagram profiles, plus an active LinkedIn Company listing and GrabOne presence, indicating trusted, well-connected social and local directory reach. Opportunities lie in adding missing TikTok, TikTok Directory, Neighbourly and Yellow Directory profiles to broaden 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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 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.
  • 3
    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Soul Studio Hot Yoga shows a very high on-page SEO health with a score near perfect. The most important findings are strong title and meta description health, plus a valid favicon and SEO-friendly URL. The top opportunities focus on reducing render-blocking resources, adding an H1 tag, and balancing text-to-page size to improve structure and speed.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 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.

Your hours against demand

Soul Studio Hot Yoga's opening hours are tightly aligned with local demand, with most peak windows covered. Key strong matches include weekday late-afternoon classes and Saturday morning. Only two high-demand hours are missed. A few late-evening slots fall below peak thresholds and could be reviewed to reduce unused open time or be repurposed for workshops or private lessons.
