Alt text improves website accessibility and helps with SEO. Describe the image briefly, using relevant keywords:
- “Couple posing at a sunset engagement photoshoot in Miami”
- “Photographer taking a business portrait in a New York studio”
Avoid stuffing keywords—focus on accuracy and context.
Target keywords potential clients use, such as:
- "maternity photographer in [City]"
- "best real estate photography services"
Tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ahrefs can reveal search volume and competition. Long-tail keywords (e.g., "affordable senior portrait photographer near me") attract targeted traffic.
Blogs showcase your expertise and attract visitors. Ideas for posts:
- “10 Poses for Great Family Portraits”
- “How to Prepare for a Boudoir Photoshoot”
- “Best Spots for Fall Photos in [City]”
Use high-quality images, subheadings, and write in a friendly, conversational style.
Write articles for photography blogs or local business websites. Examples:
- “5 Tips for Posing Nervous Clients” (for a photography blog)
- “How Professional Photos Boost Real Estate Listings” (for a realtor’s website)
Include a link to your portfolio or services.
Organize your website to be clear and simple:
Home → Portfolio (split into categories) → Pricing → Blog → ContactUse dropdown menus for subcategories, like Portfolio > Weddings > Elopements.
Create an XML sitemap using tools like Yoast SEO or Screaming Frog, then upload it to Google Search Console. This helps search engines find and index your pages faster.
Create an account in Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
Add the tracking code to your website (using a WordPress plugin or manually).
Monitor key metrics:
- Traffic sources (search, social media, referrals)
- Popular pages (portfolio, blog posts)
- Conversions (like contact form submissions)
Add your photography business to local directories like Yelp, Yellow Pages, and your local chamber of commerce, as well as specialized platforms like The Knot (for wedding photography) or Peerspace (for studios). Make sure your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) are the same everywhere. Local mentions help search engines confirm your reliability and boost your rankings for searches like “photographer near me.”
Use clear, keyword-rich names for your images instead of generic ones like “IMG_1234.jpg.” For example:
“wedding-portrait-chicago.jpg”
“newborn-photoshoot-los-angeles.jpg”
This helps search engines understand what your images are about and improves their ranking in visual search.
Large image files slow down your website. Use tools like TinyPNG, ShortPixel, or Photoshop’s “Save for Web” feature to reduce file size while keeping images sharp. Aim for JPEG files under 100 KB for website use.
Use keywords that potential clients search for, like:
- “maternity photographer in [city]”
- “best real estate photography services”
Tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ahrefs show how many people search for these words and how competitive they are. Long-tail keywords, like “affordable graduation portrait photographer near me,” attract a more targeted audience.
Write clear, client-focused text. Highlight your unique style and approach:
- “Capturing real moments for Chicago families since 2010. Specializing in natural light and authentic stories.”
Use keywords naturally on service pages, like “luxury wedding photography,” but focus on making the text easy to read.
Work with wedding planners, florists, or venue owners. Offer to photograph their work in exchange for a mention on their website. For example:
- “Recommended photographer at [Venue Name]” with a link to your site.
Over half of people visit websites from their phones. Check your site with Google’s Mobile-Friendly tool. Use large buttons, fast-loading images, and a responsive design that adjusts to any screen size.
Page speed affects search rankings and user experience. To make your site faster:
- Compress images (as explained earlier)
- Enable browser caching
- Use a lightweight website theme
- Choose a fast hosting provider
