01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Google Business Listing for Property Photographer shows a very low health score, with key data complete but several critical gaps. Overall health remains fragile due to missing website link, photos, main image, and a clear status. Strengths include claimed status, a listed phone number, and a full address, which support basic customer contact.

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
    Main imageYour listing has no main image, so the first picture a customer sees is whichever one Google chose for you.

Your reviews

Property Photographer faces a very low Google Business health score, signaling weak trust and limited visibility. Key findings show low overall rating confidence, rare reviews, and no responses to existing feedback, suggesting customers may be cautious and engagement is needed. Focus on gathering positive reviews, addressing negatives quickly, and starting to respond to all feedback.

    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.

    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.

Where you show up on the map

The Property Photographer business shows a below-average overall health score on Google Maps (3.0/10), indicating limited visibility. Top findings include a foothold in borough-level maps rankings and growing presence in the local suburb. Key opportunities focus on widening aggregate maps visibility and solidifying the Ferrymead borough listing to reach a local midpoint.

Strengths

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

Property Photographer shows a very low health score of 0.7/10 in the Marketbase health assessment, indicating limited social presence and directory visibility. The most important findings are the lack of active Instagram and TikTok profiles, and a modest to limited Facebook trust score. Addressing these channels could improve brand visibility and local trust.

Strengths

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

The on-page health is 6.0 out of 10, indicating above-average performance with room to improve. The most notable findings are a relevant meta description and an SEO-friendly URL, alongside a fast load time under 3 seconds. Key opportunities include refining the meta description length and title tag to reduce truncation and balancing text-to-page size.

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.

How people find you on Google

Property Photographer shows low overall health in Website Traffic with a 1.5 out of 10. Key findings point to near-zero organic traffic value and no paid traffic activity. Immediate focus should be on publishing local, SEO-friendly content, building basic backlinks, and launching a small paid campaign to establish baseline visibility.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Frank Dowle Commercial Photography has no recorded opening hours, so published hours do not align with Christchurch demand patterns; the listing appears closed during all high-demand windows and cannot show strong alignment. This creates missed opportunities when potential clients search and may assume unavailability. Adding clear, client-focused hours and flexible booking options would help capture demand and reduce missed enquiries.
