What AI tells people about you

Twenty-six Frames is a Christchurch-based photography collection by Chris Owen, operating from Saint Albans. The portfolio covers New Zealand landscapes, night skies, adventure photography, commercial shoots and events. Chris offers prints and commissioned shoots, with a focus on capturing natural light, outdoor locations and travel-based assignments that suit home display and client needs.

Twenty-six Frames is a collection of images produced by New Zealand photographer Chris Owen, based in the Saint Albans suburb of Christchurch. The portfolio centres on New Zealand landscapes and night-sky work, alongside adventure photography, commercial shoots and event coverage. The website presents a broad selection of images and print options.

The practice specialises in landscape and night-sky photography, with additional work in adventure and travel scenes. Commercial shoots and event photography are listed among the services, and Chris offers framed and unframed prints for home or business display. The emphasis is on outdoor locations and natural light, drawing on New Zealand scenery and travel destinations.

Customers who have left reviews describe purchasing landscape prints and commissioning family shoots while travelling. Reviewers note patience and helpfulness during selection and shoots, and reference sunset or golden-hour locations used for family portraits. Recent feedback highlights satisfaction with print quality and with location-based portrait sessions.

As a local Christchurch photographer, Twenty-six Frames combines fine art landscape and night-sky imagery with commercial and event assignments. The mix of prints and commissioned work, plus a focus on outdoor and travel locations, is a practical choice for customers looking for landscape art or location-based portrait and commercial photography within the Christchurch area.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Twenty-six Frames Photography's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score with clear room for improvement. The listing already has a claimed status, a website link, a phone number and a full address, which supports trust. Strengths include verified ownership and accessible contact details, while opportunities focus on status, branding, and expanding photo content to raise visibility.

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
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    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.

Your reviews

Twenty-six Frames Photography shows a solid health score in Google reviews, with a strong star rating and initial step into gathering feedback. The top finding is the excellent star rating, placing the business in the top tier for customer satisfaction. A key area for improvement is engagement, as there is no response yet to reviews, which could strengthen trust and loyalty.

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
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

Twenty-six Frames Photography shows below-average health in Google Maps with a 3.8/10 overall, indicating limited visibility in map searches beyond the local borough. The top opportunity is to improve aggregate maps results, while the borough performance has already improved and should be steadily built on to reach the local midpoint.

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

Twenty-six Frames Photography shows a low overall health in the citations and social presence area, with a 2.4 out of 10. The strongest asset is an active Instagram profile with high trust, while Facebook has only moderate trust and TikTok, Fresha, and LinkedIn show opportunities for presence and visibility improvements.

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.
  • 3

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 street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.
  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

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

Twenty-six Frames Photography shows a strong on-page SEO health, with an 8.1 out of 10 score. The business has a valid favicon, no frames, and HTTPS content across the site, and a relevant meta description. The two key takeaways are under-optimised meta description length and a near-ideal title tag length, plus a URL that could be more SEO-friendly.

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.
  • ✓
    On-page scoreFew sites in this market clear these checks as completely as yours: fast to open, readable, and accurate about itself to Google and to the person who lands on it.
  • ✓
    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
    Separate sites linking to youNo separate website links to yours.
  • 2
    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3
    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.

How people find you on Google

Twenty-six Frames Photography shows an overall average health for Website Traffic with room for improvement in paid activity while organic traffic remains solid. Key findings include no measurable paid traffic yet and a first step to start small paid campaigns, alongside steady organic traffic growth and ongoing SEO refinements.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Twenty-six Frames Photography has no recorded opening hours, so alignment with Christchurch demand patterns cannot be confirmed. With no hours published, there are no identified periods of strong alignment. The lack of hours creates clear missed opportunities during common high-demand windows for photography services and commercial shoots; adding or adjusting hours to cover late afternoons and weekends could capture more local searches.
