Your Google listing

Movement Studio shows strong listing health with an overall score of 8.5 out of 10, indicating solid completeness and control. The business also has a claimed listing, an active website link, a visible phone number, and open-for-business status, which support easy customer contact and reliable availability. A key improvement is to increase listing photo quantity.

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
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader more than most listings here do, so a customer choosing between three of you gets more of your case than of theirs.
  • 3
    Category fitYour category set is one of the better-fitted in this market, so you are eligible for nearly every search happening around you.

  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Review countYou hold one of the deepest review banks in this market - social proof that does its own selling.

Where you show up on the map

Movement Studio's Google Maps performance sits at a health score of 5.8 out of 10, which is above average and indicates solid visibility with room to improve. The top finding is strong ranking for pilates and yoga related phrases in Rolleston and Selwyn, showing good local relevance. The borough score has risen but still lags the city-wide midpoint, suggesting steady gains are possible with focused refinements.

    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.

    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Movement Studio shows an above-average health score with solid social presence on Instagram and Facebook. Key strengths include verified, high-trust profiles and consistent branding across platforms. The most important opportunity areas are expanding presence on TikTok, LinkedIn, Yellow Profile, Tiktok Directory, and Neighbourly to reach broader local and younger audiences.

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.

    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/movement_studio) 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.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

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 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
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page sends people to another feed or a links page rather than to a site of your own, so someone chasing a price ends up one more tap from the answer and scrolls until the errand is forgotten.
  • 2
    People following your pageYour following sits ahead of half the pages here, so an ordinary post reaches a real local audience without you paying for it.
  • 3
    Recommendations on your pageYour count sits above the middle of this market, so a visitor reading the page finds enough written by other people to stop needing anything written by you.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Movement Studio shows an average on-page SEO health with a score of 5.6 out of 10. The site has solid technical foundations, including a favicon, an SEO-friendly URL, fast load times under 3 seconds, and secure HTTPS resources. The two key findings are that an H1 tag is missing and the meta description length could be improved for better engagement.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links are piled onto a small number of sites for a profile this size, so they are doing less for you than the count suggests.

Your hours against demand

Movement Studio's published hours show clear alignment with several local peak search times but also notable gaps. The studio is open for high-demand evening slots (Tuesday and Thursday 5-6pm) and Saturday 9am, matching strong local interest. However, it is closed during popular mid-morning times on Friday and the weekend. With no low-demand open hours, small targeted schedule changes could capture missed bookings.
