Not quite right? Let's sort it

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Newborn photography's Google listing health is very low, with a 1.3/10 overall. The most important findings are that the listing is not claimed and has no website, phone, or logo, limiting credibility and customer contact. Strengths include a complete address and a main image, plus an open-for-business status.

Strengths

✓
Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
✓
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.
✓
AddressYour listing carries an address, so the directions button works and Google can match you to searches for your suburb.

Top three opportunities

1
ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
2
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.
3
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.

Your reviews

Newborn photography shows a 4.5/10 health score, indicating moderate overall performance on Google reviews for this Christchurch studio. Key findings show no responses to reviews yet, and ongoing momentum in ratings and review volume that could lift overall confidence as responses improve.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

1
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.
2
Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
3
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.

Your website

Newborn photography's on-page health is low, with a 2.1 out of 10 score. The strongest finding is the complete absence of meta description and a title tag on the homepage, plus no on-page SEO score detected. Implementing a basic page structure and adding metadata will help search visibility and clicks from prospective clients.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Precious Moments Photography's opening hours partly match local demand: several Monday midday hours align well with high search activity, but multiple weekday peaks-especially midweek lunchtimes and evenings-are missed. The studio also remains open during early-morning and late-night low-demand slots, which could be inefficient. Adjusting a few midweek hours toward popular windows would likely improve commercial returns.

Hours aligned with demandYour hours line up with demand worse than nearly every business here, which means a good share of your open time passes with nobody looking for what you do.
