01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Images By Ginger shows a healthy Google Business Listing with a strong base of verified details, but overall health sits at 4.8 out of 10. The key strengths are a complete address and claimed status, plus a phone number and open-for-business status. A notable area for improvement is adding a website link to drive online visits.

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
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.

Your reviews

Images By Ginger shows a solid presence on Google Reviews with a 4.6/10 health score relative to peers, indicating room for growth. The business has achieved a top 10% star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction, and has started collecting reviews which is a positive base to build on.

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 you show up on the map

Images By Ginger shows below-average overall health in Google Maps, with a 3.7 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility across maps queries but some strength locally. Top opportunities include maintaining the aggregate presence and pushing borough growth to mid-range. Strong local keywords support continued visibility in Aidanfield.

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 turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches less often than half your suburb, so on a search from nearby you sit below businesses a customer would otherwise treat as equal.

Where customers find you

Images By Ginger shows low overall health on third-party presence, with a health score of 2.3 out of 10. The strongest completed achievement is a very high-trust Facebook profile, supporting credibility and reach. Opportunities include adding TikTok, improving Instagram trust alignment, and boosting Neighbourly, LinkedIn, and Fresha presence to widen local and social visibility.

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
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro carries more detail than most pages in this market and is doing the work of a short landing page for the visitors who never reach your website.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Images By Ginger shows partial alignment: the business is open during several midweek and late-afternoon peaks (Wednesday 11-12pm, Thursday 11am and 4pm, Friday 10am), which matches local demand. However many high-demand Monday slots and a Wednesday evening peak are closed, and a few weekday open hours fall into low-demand windows. Adjusting a few hours could improve commercial reach without adding many total hours.
