01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing health is below average, with a 3.4 out of 10. The most important findings are that the listing currently lacks a website link, a logo, and a robust set of photos, while the description is only basic. Addressing these areas should improve visibility and credibility for the studio.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 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
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

The overall health is below average, with a 3.5/10 health score, indicating limited customer trust and engagement. Key findings point to a lack of reviews and no responses to existing ones, and a not-yet-established star rating. The business should prioritise encouraging positive reviews, improving response to feedback, and building a visible review history to reassure potential clients.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.

Where customers find you

1st Day Studio shows a low overall health in citations and social presence, but Instagram is outstanding. The key strength is the very high trust score on Instagram, indicating a strong, consistent brand presence. The main improvement area relates to several missing profiles on local platforms that can limit discoverability and neighbourly reach.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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

Your hours against demand

1st Day Studio's hours partly match Christchurch demand: weekend afternoons show strong alignment, especially Saturday 11am and Sunday 1-4pm. However many weekday lunchtime hours are closed despite high local interest, notably Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday noon. A small portion of weekend evening hours are open during lower-demand windows, suggesting minor inefficiency.
