01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

M&Y Studio shows a reasonable overall health with room for improvement in contact details and descriptions. The strongest findings are the claimed listing, a complete address and a live website link, which support credibility and easy access for customers, while the health score highlights opportunities to enhance engagement.

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
    PhoneYour listing has no phone number, so the call button a customer expects to tap is not there and the ones in a hurry ring someone else.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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

M&Y Studio shows a solid overall health score on Google Business reviews, reflecting strong customer satisfaction but room for improvement in engagement and volume. The standout finding is a top-10% star rating, indicating high quality experiences. The business should build on this by increasing review volume and starting to respond to reviews to boost trust.

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 you show up on the map

M&Y Studio shows a very high health in Google Maps search, indicating strong local visibility overall. The business ranks well in multiple aidanfield-related searches, with top positions for several key keywords, particularly for portrait and photography studio services in aidanfield. Opportunity lies in extending top borough performance to nearby suburbs while maintaining current rankings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than nearly everyone here, so a customer searching well outside your own patch still sees you.

Where customers find you

M&Y Studio shows a low overall health score for citations and social presence, 2.6 out of 10, indicating limited third-party presence overall. Key strengths include a very high trust Facebook profile, which provides an authoritative touch and a solid foundation for future growth. Opportunities highlight gaps on TikTok, Neighbourly, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Fresha that could broaden local reach.

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.
  • ✓
    Infobel ListingWe can see your Infobel Listing listing (https://infobel.com/m_y_studio) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 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 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
    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
    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

M&Y Studio shows a very high on-page SEO health of 9.8 out of 10, indicating strong technical optimisation for the homepage. Key strengths include optimal title tag and meta description lengths, a valid favicon, sufficient character count, and secure HTTPS content. This solid foundation supports search visibility and user trust, with minor opportunities for refinement.

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.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    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.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youFewer separate websites link to you than half the businesses here, which means when someone searches for what you do, the businesses with a longer list of vouchers are the ones on the page they actually read.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Pages linking to youFewer pages link to yours than most of this market, so search engines have few routes into your site.

How people find you on Google

The Website Traffic health for M&Y Studio sits at 5.9 out of 10, which is above average and indicates room for improvement but not a weak performance. The strongest opportunities lie in building earned organic traffic and launching a small, targeted paid effort to capture more potential customers.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

M&Y Studio's opening hours largely match midday demand, with strong alignment across Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday 12pm when local searches peak for photography services. Even so, several high-demand evening slots remain closed. A few open hours fall into lower-demand windows, suggesting small efficiency gains could be realised by modestly shifting hours toward popular late-afternoon and evening periods.

    Hours aligned with demandYour hours cover some of the busy stretches but fewer than half the businesses here, which means someone ringing round on a Saturday morning reaches your competitors and your voicemail.
