01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Luxe Booth shows solid health on Google, with room to improve listing depth. Overall health is 7.2 out of 10, indicating good profile completeness and some optimisation opportunities. Primary strengths include claimed status, a visible listing title, a working website link, a phone number, and clear Open-for-Business status, which supports customer accessibility.

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 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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 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.

Your reviews

The Luxe Booth shows a solid overall health on Google reviews, with a 7.6/10 health score and a top 10% star rating. The strongest finding is the excellent average star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction. There is still room to improve engagement by responding to more reviews, which could lift overall trust and visibility.

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
    Response rateYou have replied to a small share of your reviews, so most customers reading your page still see feedback about you with no voice from you anywhere on it.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 3
    Review confidenceRating and volume together put you ahead of most of this market, which means a customer sees a well-rated business with enough reviews behind it to be believed.

Where you show up on the map

The Luxe Booth shows a below-average health score for Google Maps performance, with a 3.4 out of 10. This indicates limited visibility in maps searches but some strength in sub-areas. The top keywords indicate solid ranking for wedding and photography-related terms in Lincoln and Christchurch, suggesting core relevance to local events.

Strengths

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

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

The Luxe Booth shows an above-average health score of 6.9 out of 10, indicating the business is in a reasonably solid position with room to strengthen its digital footprint. The most notable achievements are the outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, reflecting strong, consistent branding and audience engagement that support trust with customers.

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.

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.

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 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
    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
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Luxe Booth's on-page health is strong, with a high overall score and solid technical foundations. Key findings show secure HTTPS, a valid favicon, and an SEO-friendly URL, plus a fast page load under three seconds. The main opportunity is refining the meta description and title tag to align with ideal lengths and improve click-through appeal.

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.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The Luxe Booth's opening hours largely match local demand: 80 weekly peak hours are covered and there are no closed high-demand windows. Strong alignment is evident around weekday middays, especially Monday 11am-2pm and Wednesday noon. Some low-demand hours are open - notably Monday 8am and late on Monday (9-10pm), plus Tuesday 6am and Thursday 7am - suggesting modest inefficiencies that could be trimmed or managed by flexible staffing.
