Your Google listing

Katrina Cooke Photography shows a very low overall health on Google Business, indicating major gaps in listing setup. The strongest current assets are the presence of a website link, a listed phone number, a complete address and a listed title. Critical next steps include claiming the listing, updating status to open, and enhancing the description and photos to attract more local clients.

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.
  • ✓
    WebsiteYour listing links to your website, so a customer can move from Google to your own pages in one tap and read your account of the work before they ring.

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
    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.
  • 3
    Main imageYour listing has no main image, so the first picture a customer sees is whichever one Google chose for you.

Your reviews

Katrina Cooke Photography shows a low overall health score in Google review metrics, with limited reviews and no owner responses. The top findings indicate a need to build trust through more reviews, establish a visible star rating, and start engaging responses. Overall, customers may be cautious until these elements improve, affecting new bookings.

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

Where you show up on the map

Katrina Cooke Photography shows a below-average health score of 3.5 out of 10 for Google Maps search visibility. The top findings indicate decent performance in borough searches and a handful of broad city-wide queries, with strong ranking for several Lincoln and Christchurch related terms. There are clear opportunities to improve both the aggregate and borough scores to raise local visibility.

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

Katrina Cooke Photography shows a very high health score, indicating strong presence and trust across key social channels. The most notable findings are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles with high trust, plus a top-performing TikTok channel. These assets suggest strong engagement and reach for weddings, with opportunities to widen distribution through listed directories.

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.

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 follow half the pages here.
  • 2
    Recommendations on your pageYou hold fewer recommendations than the middle of this market.
  • 3
    What your page says about youYour intro runs to a line, shorter than most pages here, so it names the business without settling whether you do the particular job the reader came about or cover the suburb they live in.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Katrina Cooke Photography shows a very healthy on-page SEO state with a score of 8.7 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation for the homepage. The most impactful findings are a perfectly aligned meta description and an existing H1 tag, which support clear search results and page structure. Key opportunities focus on further refining the title tag length and reducing load time for better user experience.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Meta descriptionYour search summary sits in the length that reads in full on most screens, which is as far as length alone can take it - a narrow phone still cuts the tail off a line this size.
  • ✓
    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.

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
    Page titleYour home page headline does not fit the space a search result gives it, so a searcher sees either a half-empty line or one that trails off before your name arrives.
  • 3
    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.

Your hours against demand

Katrina Cooke Photography has no published opening hours, so alignment with local demand cannot be measured. Without hours, the analysis cannot spot when the business is open during peak search windows or closed during popular enquiry times. Adding clear opening hours is the first practical step to reveal strong alignment or missed opportunities and to enable targeted hour changes.
