We know where you’re at. We’ve been there. You want to meet dream clients, shoot fabulous weddings, and absolutely not deal with any of this SEO stuff. SEO can seem like a daunting task for wedding photographers who are just starting out, or if you’re anything like me, been putting it off for a long time. But with a little help, SEO can be a powerful tool to help build your dream business. Seriously, it can change your life and help you build a six-figure business. Keep reading to see how SEO for Wedding Photographers doesn’t have to be hard!
Here are some basic SEO strategies that every wedding photographer should know:
Research
1. Research keywords that potential clients are searching for. Use these keywords throughout your website and in your social media channels to reach your target audience. As an easy example, if you’re in San Francisco, you can try to rank for “San Francisco Wedding Photographer”. Think about what your clients would search for, and include those keywords in your blog posts.
Optimize
2. Optimize your website for search engines. This means making sure your website is mobile-friendly and easy to navigate. Include relevant keywords on your website and in your page titles and meta descriptions. You’d be amazed at how many websites I’ve seen have links that are broken, 30mb pictures that make websites glacially slow, and more.
Backlinks
3. Build backlinks to your website. Backlinks are links from other websites that link to yours. The more backlinks you have, the higher your website will rank in search results. guest blog post on a popular wedding photography site or reach out to wedding planners and other vendors in your area and offer to collaborate. Getting published is a huge way too (Think Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart, etc.)
Promote
4. Promote your website through social media. Share your content on social media channels like Facebook, Tik Tok, and Instagram. Use relevant hashtags and make sure your profiles are linked to your website.
Analyze and fix
5. Analyze your website traffic. Use Google Analytics or another web analytics tool to track how people are finding your website and what pages they’re spending the most time on. This information can help you adjust your SEO strategy and improve your website. Analyzing your site will help you view your website like a client would. It’s so incredibly important to understand the thought process of your clients so you can make it a pain-free experience for them to contact you (and ultimately, book you)
SEO can be a powerful tool to help build your dream wedding photography business. But it’s important to remember that SEO is an ongoing process and not a one-time fix. Be sure to keep these SEO strategies in mind as you continue to grow your wedding photography business.
