01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Ken Morrison Photography shows a low overall health score on its Google Business Listing, at 2.5 out of 10. This indicates significant gaps in listing completeness. Strengths include claimed status, visible phone number, full address and a main image, which support customer trust. Key opportunities focus on adding a website link, updating open status, expanding the description, adding a logo, and refreshing listing photos.

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
    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
    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.

Your reviews

Ken Morrison Photography shows solid overall health in Google reviews with a health score of 4.3 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The business has a top-10% star rating and a growing review base, while engagement with reviews remains a key area for focus.

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

The health for Citations & Social Presence is very low, reflecting weak social and local directory activity. Key strengths include presence in Yellow Directory and Neighbourly, which help local visibility. Primary opportunities focus on establishing active profiles on Instagram and TikTok, and improving a Facebook profile's trust linkage to the business details.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Yellow ProfileWe can see your Yellow Profile listing (https://yellow.co.nz/y/morrison-ken-photographer-579463577) found via: Google search results.
  • ✓
    Family Company StudioWe can see your Family Company Studio listing (https://thefamilycompany.co.nz/ken-morrison-photography) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1

  • 2

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    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 cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    An email addressA customer who would rather put a request in writing at ten at night has only Messenger to work with, because the page carries no email address.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Ken Morrison Photography has no published opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand patterns cannot be measured directly. Without hours, all peak-demand windows are effectively unserved in the dataset, creating potential missed opportunities. Adding accurate studio hours would reveal where opening times match or miss local search peaks and help avoid opening during low-demand periods that could be inefficient.
