01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Hawaikii Portraits shows a low overall Google Business Listing health, with clear gaps in essential fields that limit discoverability. The most important findings are that the listing lacks a website link, is not claimed, and has little descriptive content, which together hinder customer engagement.

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.

Your reviews

Hawaikii Portraits shows a below-average health score of 3.4 out of 10 on Google reviews, indicating the overall health is weak and potentially deters new customers. The most important findings are the lack of reviews and no response to existing ones, and the absence of a established star rating. Customers may be cautious and seek reassurance from positive feedback and engagement.

Strengths

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

Hawaikii Portraits shows very low overall visibility in Google Maps, with a health score of 0.4 out of 10. The business ranks consistently for key terms in New Brighton, including "photographer in new brighton" and "photography studio in new brighton," indicating some staying power in the market yet room to grow. Overall health suggests focused work on local maps signals and listing accuracy is needed.

Where customers find you

Hawaikii Portraits shows a solid online presence with a very high trust Facebook profile, contributing to an overall health score of 6.2 out of 10. The strongest completed achievement is the premium Facebook presence, while opportunities lie mainly in expanding additional profiles and directories, particularly TikTok, Yellow, and Neighbourly, to broaden local reach.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search alone, with nothing on your own website or your Google listing pointing at it.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

Your hours against demand

Hawaikii Portraits is open 12 hours weekly with all open hours matching peak demand, notably Saturday 11am and Sunday 12-3pm. However the studio is closed during many high-demand windows: key missed slots on Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday noon. No low-demand open hours were identified. Adjusting a few weekday lunchtime hours could capture more local customer searches.
