01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Spencer Studios shows a below-average overall health score on Google Business Listing at 2.9 out of 10, indicating room for significant improvement. Key strengths include claimed status, an existing listing title and website link, open-for-business status, and a full street address. Primary opportunities focus on adding a phone number, enhancing the description, adding a logo, and expanding photos to lift visibility and accessibility.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

Spencer Studios shows a healthy Google Business presence with a health score of 8.3 out of 10. The business benefits from a very strong star rating, placing it in the top decile for customer satisfaction. Strength also comes from engagement, as a solid response rate to reviews signals attentiveness to clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.
  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 2
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where customers find you

Spencer Studios has an average health score of 5.1 out of 10, indicating moderate overall presence with room to improve in key platforms. The strongest current assets are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles with very high trust scores, suggesting solid reach and credibility among followers. The main findings focus on expanding reach through additional profiles and directory listings.

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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Spencer Studios shows a solid on-page SEO health with a 7.5/10, indicating strong core factors and good fundamentals. The most consistent strengths include an excellent meta description within the ideal length, a valid favicon, and an SEO-friendly URL. There is still room to improve, notably through ensuring an H1 tag exists and optimizing text-to-page size balance to reduce excessive plain text.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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

How people find you on Google

Spencer Studios shows an average overall health for website traffic, with room for improvement in paid activity while organic performance remains solid and improving. Notable findings include no measurable paid traffic yet and potential gains from a small, targeted paid campaign, along with ongoing strength in organic traffic value and total organic traffic.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Spencer Studios' published hours partially match when local customers search for interior design. The studio is open during several strong mid-week mornings-particularly Wednesday 9-11am, Thursday 11am and Friday 10am-covering 30 well-aligned peak hours. However, it misses high-demand windows such as Sunday 10am and late-afternoon weekday peaks, suggesting potential gains from adding targeted evening or weekend availability.
