Your Google listing

SR Photography shows a very high health score with strong listing completeness. The listing already includes a website link, phone number, claimed status and open-for-business status, which supports easy customer contact and trust. The main opportunity is to increase photo count to reach the top 10% of listings, enhancing visual appeal for local customers.

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
    Photos on the listingYou carry more photos than most of this market, which gives a customer a real look at the work before they ring.

Where you show up on the map

SR Photography shows a strong overall health score for Google Maps rankings, at 8.5 out of 10, indicating solid visibility. Top opportunities focus on further improving local presence: continuing to rank in the top quartile for the suburb while aiming for the top 10% with ongoing listing refinement. These trends support steady awareness among Christchurch customers seeking newborn and family photography.

Strengths

  • ✓

Where customers find you

SR Photography shows a very high health score with strong social presence across Instagram and Facebook, plus a solid Neighbourly listing. The two most important findings are the excellent Instagram and Facebook trust signals and the active Neighbourly profile, which supports local credibility. Opportunities exist to broaden reach via TikTok, Yellow, Neighbourly, LinkedIn, and Fresha.

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.
  • ✓
    Neighbourly ProfileWe can see your Neighbourly Profile listing (https://www.neighbourly.co.nz/business/sr-photography) found via: Google search results.

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
    LinkedIn CompanyWe could not find an active LinkedIn Company 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 pageA couple of recommendations have landed on the page, fewer than most here.
  • 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 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

SR Photography shows a strong overall on-page health with a score of 8.5 out of 10, indicating solid technical SEO foundations. Notable findings include an optimal title tag length and a valid favicon, both aiding visibility and branding. Opportunities remain in boosting the meta description relevance and ensuring an H1 tag, which will improve clarity for visitors and search engines.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.
  • 3
    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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

SR Photography's opening hours align well with local demand, especially mid-day on Mondays (11am-2pm) and mid-day Wednesday (12pm), when searches peak. There are no high-demand hours missed. A small portion of weekly hours fall in low-demand windows (early-morning and late-evening), which could be trimmed or switched to appointment-only to improve commercial efficiency without reducing availability at peak times.
