01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Family Treasures Photography NZ shows solid profile basics with a strong listing presence, but the health score is 4.9 out of 10. The core finding is that contact details and a website exist, while there is room to improve the description, photos and logo to better engage potential 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 three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

Family Treasures Photography NZ shows a healthy overall presence on Google, with a high health score and strong customer sentiment. The top finding is that the business sits in the top 10% for star rating, indicating high satisfaction. Another important note is the solid rating momentum across reviews, suggesting continued trust among customers.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits under the middle of this market, so you are readable to a customer without yet being convincing.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

Where you show up on the map

Family Treasures Photography NZ shows an above-average overall health score for Google Maps search, indicating reasonable visibility. The strongest opportunities lie in continuing momentum with the aggregate Maps score and maintaining the suburb presence, while capitalising on top ranking keywords in Marshland and nearby areas to attract more local clients.

Strengths

Where customers find you

Family Treasures Photography NZ shows low overall health in social presence at 1.5 out of 10. The strongest current merit is a very high-trust Facebook profile, indicating solid engagement there. Other platforms and directories lack active presence, suggesting limited reach beyond Facebook.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 3
    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.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 3

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Family Treasures Photography NZ shows a healthy on-page SEO health score of 8.4 out of 10, indicating solid technical foundations. The business benefits from a valid favicon, HTTPS content, a relevant meta description, an SEO-friendly URL, and a precise title tag. Two key takeaways are to tighten the meta description length and further improve overall on-page elements to climb above the bottom quartile.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreSeveral checks on your home page fail at once, and a visitor meets all of them in the first few seconds: a slow open, no clear heading, nothing under your name in search that says what you do.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

The Website Traffic health for Family Treasures Photography NZ shows a very low level of organic and paid traffic activity, with a health score of 0.9 out of 10.
