Not quite right? Let's sort it

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Express Photography shows a concerning overall health score, indicating the Google Business Listing needs attention to improve visibility and consistency. The listing has solid basics with a listed phone number, full address, and a main image, but significant gaps remain. Immediate focus should be on claiming the listing, adding a website link, and expanding photos to better represent the studio and services.

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.
✓
PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

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
Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.

11 checks on your Google listing. You're seeing 6 of them.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Express Photography shows a very low Google Business health score, indicating customers may be cautious about engaging. The strongest downgrade is the lack of reviews and no response to existing feedback, which undermines trust. Encouraging positive reviews and starting to reply to feedback are the key first steps.

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 you show up on the map

Express Photography's Maps search health is very low at 1.0/10, indicating limited visibility in Google Maps. The top keywords show occasional strength for Christchurch centre searches, but overall local presence is weak. Focus should be on boosting borough-specific visibility and strengthening broader city-wide results to attract local clients.

Strengths

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

Top two opportunities

1
Maps visibility across the city groupYou appear in a handful of Maps searches across the suburbs around you, far fewer than most businesses here.
2
Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Express Photography shows very low overall health on the cited social and directory presence, with a health score of 0.1 out of 10. The most important immediate findings are the absence of active profiles on Instagram and Facebook, and no clear TikTok presence, which limits local visibility and engagement.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Express Photography has no recorded opening hours, so temporal alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be determined. No specific hours can be flagged as well aligned or missed opportunities. To improve the very low health score the business should publish reliable opening hours, then compare them to local peak search times and consider adding hours where customer searches concentrate, especially around typical business-day and weekend windows.
