01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Madlove Photography & Design shows a below-average health score of 3.0 out of 10 for the Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement in completeness and presentation. The most impactful findings are the claimed status and verified ownership, plus complete address and phone number, which support basic credibility. Opportunities focus on adding a website link, a meaningful description, more photos, and a logo.

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
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.

02ReviewsMarketbase business report

Your reviews

Madlove Photography & Design shows a very low overall health in Google reviews, indicating risk for customer trust. The key findings point to the lack of reviews, no owner responses, and an undetermined star rating. Addressing these by collecting positive reviews, resolving complaints quickly, and starting to respond to all reviews can help improve credibility.

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

Madlove Photography & Design shows very low overall health in Google Maps at 0.1 out of 10. This implies limited visibility across maps searches and a need to focus on improvements. The strongest area is ranking for photography studio in phillipstown, which sits at position 20, indicating some presence in local results.

Where customers find you

Madlove Photography & Design shows very high overall health with strong social presence in Facebook and Instagram, and local discoverability via Neighbourly and LinkedIn. The top opportunities focus on missing TikTok and Fresha profiles, plus Yellow Directory visibility. This suggests the business already has solid credibility online, but could broaden reach by creating some new profiles and optimising existing directory entries.

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.

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.
  • 3
    Neighbourly ProfileWe could not find an active Neighbourly 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
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageMore customers have recommended you than at most pages in this market, and depth like that reads as a business that has been doing this a while.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Madlove Photography & Design has mixed alignment with local demand. Weekend midday hours are well matched to high search activity, while several weekday lunch peaks-especially Monday late morning and early afternoon, and Wednesday noon-are missed. There are two low-demand hours open (Sunday 9am, Saturday 4pm) that may be inefficient. Adjusting a few weekday hours could better capture client demand without greatly increasing total weekly hours.
