Your Google listing

Tegan Johnson Photography has a below-average Google Business Listing health score of 3.9 out of 10, indicating room for improvement. The listing shows a claimed status, a website link, a phone number and a full address, which support easy contact and trust. Key strengths include complete contact details and ownership, while opportunities focus on status status, description, and ongoing photography updates.

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
    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.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have more photos on your listing than half the businesses here, so a customer arriving has enough to look at that they stay on it.
  • 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.

Where customers find you

Citations & Social Presence shows a solid overall health score of 8.0 out of 10. The business has strong, established profiles on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. The most notable strengths are outstanding Instagram and Facebook presence, and a LinkedIn profile that supports credibility when aligned with branding. Attention should be given to expanding reach via additional directories and platforms.

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.
  • ✓
    Family Company StudioWe can see your Family Company Studio listing (https://thefamilycompany.co.nz/tegan-johnson-photography) 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

  • ✓
    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 two 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.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Tegan Johnson Photography shows an average on-page health score with several solid foundations. Strengths include a relevant meta description, an SEO-friendly URL and a clear H1 tag, contributing to good clarity for visitors and search engines.

Strengths

  • ✓
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from about as wide a range of sites as anything in this market, and the mix of link types looks entirely natural.
  • ✓
    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.
  • ✓
    Page file sizeYour home page is light enough to open quickly on a phone with a weak signal, which is where most people meet a local business for the first time.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    On-page scoreThe basics on your home page are half in place: it opens and it reads, but enough checks still fail that a customer on a phone away from wifi notices the wait before they notice the business.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Tegan Johnson Photography shows a healthy website traffic profile, with room to grow paid activity while maintaining solid organic performance. The business already attracts a meaningful share of local traffic and has mid-range organic value, suggesting ongoing improvement through content, UX and links. Key gains come from starting targeted paid campaigns and refining paid keyword strategy.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 2
    Monthly ad visitsYour site receives no visitors from paid search, which for most local businesses in this market is the norm rather than a problem.
  • 3
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than half the businesses here, so the people arriving are browsing rather than buying.

Your hours against demand

Tegan Johnson Photography has no published opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured. No hours means no identified strong alignment with peak search times, and missed opportunities where the studio is closed during popular windows cannot be pinpointed. Marketbase recommends publishing regular hours and testing targeted pop-in session times based on local demand data to improve commercial fit.
