01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Locorum Photography shows a below-average Google Business Listing health score, with room for improvement primarily in logo presence and long-term status. Strengths include a claimed listing, a website link, a listed phone number, a full address, and a clear listing title. Opportunities focus on adding a logo, expanding photos, refining the description, and correcting open-for-business status to reassure customers.

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
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Locorum Photography shows a low overall health score on Google Business reviews, meaning potential customers may be cautious. The most important findings are: no response to reviews yet, and a very low total review count. Addressing these two areas could start rebuilding trust while gathering new feedback.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

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

Locorum Photography shows a below-average health score in Google Maps (3.7/10), indicating room for improvement in overall visibility. Top takeaways point to progress in the borough presence and a starting point in broader maps queries. Primary opportunities focus on building both aggregate and borough rankings to reach a local mid-point and beyond.

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

Locorum Photography shows solid health with room for growth. The overall health is 4.5/10, indicating average presence, but strongest asset is a very high trust Facebook profile that reinforces credibility with local clients.

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
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Instagram Profileyour Instagram Profile page surfaces strongly in search, which is how we found it, though nothing you control points at it.
  • 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 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.

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 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Locorum Photography's on-page health sits at 4.7 out of 10, indicating room for meaningful improvement in technical SEO. The strongest recent wins include a valid favicon, a relevant meta description, fast page load times under 3 seconds, an SEO-friendly URL, and a compact page size under 256KB, all of which support crawlability and user experience.

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.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.
  • 3
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.

How people find you on Google

Locorum Photography shows a healthy website traffic profile with a solid organic footprint and room to grow paid reach. The top finding is that organic traffic value is above the 25th percentile and progressing, while paid activity remains minimal and needs a first steps plan. Overall health remains high, but paid strategies could unlock more visits.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Locorum Photography currently has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be measured directly. Because hours are not published, all high-demand windows are effectively missed opportunities and there is no evidence of strong alignment. Publishing consistent hours that reflect local peak enquiry times-particularly evenings and weekends for family and portrait bookings-would restore commercial visibility.
