01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Selwyn Taylor Photography shows a healthy Google Business Listing with solid contact details and a clear main image, but overall health is very low given incomplete control on the listing. The two most important findings are that the listing is not claimed and there is no website link visible, which limits customer access and trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    PhoneYour listing carries a phone number, so the call button is live for anyone who finds you on a phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    ClaimedYour listing is not claimed, which means anyone can suggest an edit to it and you have no way to reply to a review or correct what is shown.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Selwyn Taylor Photography shows a low Google Business Health score, with limited reviews and no responses yet. The most important findings are the need to start collecting reviews and to engage with customers by replying to feedback. The business should build a solid base of positive ratings to improve trust with potential clients.

    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

Selwyn Taylor Photography shows a very low overall health score for Maps Search Performance, indicating limited visibility in Google Maps. The top findings reveal strong ranking for specific Hillmorton related keywords, such as photography service in hillmorton and photographer in hillmorton, but overall growth is constrained. Opportunities lie in aligning the suburb listing and expanding aggregate visibility.

Where customers find you

Selwyn Taylor Photography shows a very high health score, indicating strong overall presence with solid social and local directory traction. The most notable findings are the outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles and established Yellow and Neighbourly directory listings, which support local visibility. TikTok presence is missing and could be explored if relevant to the audience.

Strengths

  • ✓

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Selwyn Taylor Photography has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be shown. As a result there are no confirmed hours open during peak search windows and several missed opportunities where customers search but no hours are published. Adding clear, localised opening hours would immediately reveal strong and weak time slots and help target busy periods more effectively.
