01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Forget Me Not Photography shows a very high overall health on Google Business Listing (9.6/10). This indicates the profile is well filled and verified. The business demonstrates strong foundations with a claimed listing, visible phone number, website link and an open-for-business status, while the description and photos continue to improve presence.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.
  • 2
    Category fitYour category set covers less of this market than half the field, so there are jobs being searched for near you that your listing is not eligible to appear in.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description is one of the fuller ones in this market, which means a customer comparing you side by side has more of your case in front of them than most.

OverviewReviewsPhotosAbout
From the business

My name is Zoe, and I’m a portrait photographer from Christchurch specialising in family and children’s portraits. I also love to get involved in preschool fundraisers. My single aim is to photograph your child being them self. As we all know, kids will be kids but I do love a challenge and that’s why I love taking their photos! I’m a Mum to three young girls so I understand how tricky it can be to get them all together let alone get a nice photo of them all. With this in mind, I approach each shoot with one goal; to make your child feel comfortable enough to be themselves and let me get that one incredibly natural and candid image. I can't wait to hear from you soon.

Your reviews

Forget Me Not Photography shows moderate overall health on Google reviews, with room to grow. The top finding is a high star rating, placing the business in the top tier for satisfaction. A key opportunity is improving engagement by replying to reviews, which will build trust and demonstrate responsiveness.

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 confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where customers find you

Forget Me Not Photography shows a strong Facebook presence with a very high trust score, but overall health sits at 4.9/10, indicating room for improvement. The most important finding is the solid Facebook profile, while opportunities lie in expanding TikTok and Yellow Page visibility to balance reach and discoverability.

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.
  • ✓
    Family Company StudioWe can see your Family Company Studio listing (https://thefamilycompany.co.nz/forget-me-not-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.

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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Forget Me Not Photography shows below-average on-page SEO health with an overall score of 2.9 out of 10. The most important findings are the lack of a detected on-page SEO score baseline and missing meta description and title tag on the homepage, which limit visibility and click-through. Addressing these basics will start to stabilise search visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Separate sites linking to youMore separate websites link to you than almost any business in this market - a spread built over years that a competitor cannot buy their way into.
  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits just outside a workable length, so a searcher either gets less than the space allows or loses the tail of it.
  • 2
    Domain HealthYour site answers, but something did not check out - an insecure link, a redirect chain, a domain shared with other businesses, or a listing pointing at a social page.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

Your hours against demand

Forget Me Not Photography's published hours show partial alignment with local demand. Many midweek and Friday late-afternoon peaks are covered, but several Monday and Wednesday lunchtime peaks are missed. A small portion of weekly hours are open when demand is low, suggesting some inefficiency. Adjusting a few lunchtime openings and trimming low-demand sessions could improve commercial fit without major schedule changes.
