01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

The Studio shows a mixed health for its Google Business Listing, indicating room for improvement while basic details are in place. Overall, the listing is functional but the health score remains very low, underscoring the need for accuracy and completeness. The most impactful findings are the lack of a claimed listing and missing website link, both restricting visibility 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

The Studio shows a very low health score on Google reviews, indicating they should focus on building trust. Key findings include an unestablished star rating and minimal total reviews, which may deter new clients. Customer feedback handling is also lacking, with no responses to reviews yet.

Strengths

    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.

Where you show up on the map

The Studio shows a low overall health in Maps search performance, with a 1.9/10 health score. This indicates limited visibility in Google Maps, impacting how often potential photography clients discover the studio. Two top opportunities are to improve the aggregate Maps score and to boost local, borough-level presence in Christchurch, where the borough score remains minimal.

Strengths

Where customers find you

The Studio shows healthy presence on Facebook with a very high trust score, but overall health across social platforms and directories remains low at 2.7/10. The strongest current asset is the Facebook profile; opportunities lie in expanding Instagram, TikTok and professional profiles to improve visibility among local clients.

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

  • ✓
    People following your pageYours is one of the largest local followings in this market.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

The Studio shows a very low on-page SEO health score of 0.7 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating substantial gaps in technical setup. Key findings include missing meta description and title tag, no valid favicon, and potential framing issues that could hinder indexing and user experience. Addressing these basics will improve visibility and eligibility for search results.

Strengths

  • ✓
    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
    Domain HealthYour website did not come back healthy when we tried it, and anyone clicking through from your Google listing is meeting whatever we met.
  • 2
    On-page scoreYour home page did not return anything we can measure, and a page that will not answer a scanner is usually the same page that keeps a customer waiting.

How people find you on Google

The Studio's website traffic health is very low, reflecting limited organic visibility and minimal paid activity. Key findings show near-zero organic traffic value, no organic keywords in the top 100, and no measurable paid traffic. Addressing content quality, local focus, on-page SEO, and small paid campaigns could start to shift metrics.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

The Studio has no recorded opening hours, so temporal alignment with Christchurch demand cannot be measured. No hours are confirmed as open during high-demand windows, and missed opportunities cannot be pinpointed. Adding published opening hours will unlock specific insights; as a starting point, consider offering weekend and evening studio sessions to match typical client search patterns.
