Your Google listing

JK Images shows solid health on Google Business Listing with a score of 7.7/10. Strengths include a claimed listing, a live website link, a visible phone number, and accurate open status, which helps customers reach and trust the business. A top description and good photos contribute to local relevance, but a missing logo could limit brand impact.

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
    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.
  • 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
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.

From the business

At JK Images, I bring my heart and soul to every project, whether it's documenting weddings, immortalizing special events, showcasing products in their best light, celebrating the miracle of maternity, or capturing the essence of individuals in portraits and passport photos. Each assignment is an opportunity for me to weave my creativity and expertise into producing images that resonate with authenticity and beauty. What sets JK Images apart is not just the quality of the photographs but also the personalized service and attention to detail that I provide. I take the time to understand my clients' unique needs, preferences, and visions, ensuring that every shot reflects their story and personality.

Your reviews

JK Images shows a healthy Google review profile with an 8.1/10 health score, indicating strong overall reputation for the Halswell studio. The top achievement is a stellar star rating in the top 10% of comparisons, reflecting high client satisfaction. Opportunities focus on increasing total reviews, boosting rating confidence, and improving response rates to engage more 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.

Where you show up on the map

JK Images shows an average overall health score of 5.3 out of 10 for Maps Search, indicating moderate visibility. The strongest opportunity lies in the top-performing keywords such as "portrait studio in Halswell" and "wedding photographer in Halswell," which already rank well and can be leveraged to grow reach. Suburb presence is solid but needs continued momentum to move into top tier.

Strengths

Where customers find you

JK Images shows low overall health in citations and social presence with a 2.5/10. The strongest current asset is an outstanding Facebook profile with very high trust, while Neighbourly presence provides local visibility. Key opportunities include building activity on Instagram and TikTok, improving Fresha and Yellow Pages listings, and creating a LinkedIn Company page to boost professional credibility.

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.
  • ✓
    StarOfService ProWe can see your StarOfService Pro listing (https://starofservice.co.nz/jkimages) 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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.

    People following your pageMore people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post can travel past your own customers when one of them shares it into a local group.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

JK Images shows an overall very low on-page SEO health score, with 0.8 out of 10. The most important findings are missing meta description, missing title tag, and no valid favicon, all of which limit visibility and click-through rates for the homepage.

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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 3
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.

How people find you on Google

JK Images shows very low overall website traffic health (1.2/10). The most important findings point to near-zero organic traffic value and no organic rankings in the top 100. Paid traffic is also non-existent, suggesting opportunities to initiate targeted, trackable campaigns and build base conversions with local content and optimised pages.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

JK Images' opening hours show strong alignment with weekday midday demand, with Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday midday matching peak local search activity. Several popular evening windows are missed - notably Tuesday and Wednesday 8-9pm and Sunday 8am. A small portion of hours fall into low-demand periods (Friday early afternoon, Tuesday 6pm, Sunday mornings/evenings), suggesting minor trimming or targeted appointment-only slots could improve efficiency.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.
