Search Engine Optimization
SEO for Photographers & Small Businesses
Are you not satisfied with the number of inquiries you’re getting? Has your website ranking slipped on Google? Is your website missing from Google entirely? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the key to getting found online, tells search engines, like Google, what your website is about and plays a vital role in improving your online visibility, attracting relevant traffic, and establishing your brand’s credibility.
Imagine SEO as a master storyteller who ensures your website’s captivating tale reaches the right audience. Just as a skilled storyteller crafts an engaging narrative that captures the attention of listeners, SEO optimizes your website to captivate search engines and potential visitors. Just as a fascinating story spreads through word-of-mouth, SEO amplifies your website’s presence through search results. By optimizing keywords and content, SEO helps your website climb the shelves in the library (Google), ensuring it gets noticed by the right readers (your target audience). With the right SEO strategies, your website becomes a well-known and beloved tale, gaining the attention and admiration it deserves from both search engines and eager readers alike.
To understand how SEO works, you need to understand the search inquiry process…

Most Asked Questions
Will you get me on the first page of Google?
While SEO technique is similar for every website, there is no “one size fits all” quick fix that will magically boost you to Page 1 of Google immediately. Your ranking is determined by hundreds of factors. My job is to ensure sure that your website has a solid SEO foundation for you to continue to build upon. SEO requires a long term commitment and a constant focus on expanding and improving your website content.
HOW SOON WILL I see results?
The honest truth is, there are just too many factors to predict! In some cases (the lucky ones!) website rankings jump within days of making changes, however it sometimes takes 3-6 months or more to start seeing significant improvements, therefore SEO should be viewed a long term strategy.
How long DOES IT TAKE?
The initial SEO setup process is completed over 90 days. I will be continually analyzing your website & and implementing changes as needed over that 3 month period. At the end of the 90 days, you have the option to sign-on for additional quarterly website management services.
What is Local SEO?
Search engines know that many users are looking for specific services and products near them. Local SEO is the process of making your website visible for searches related to a particular location. Optimizing local SEO leads to more visits to your website and more leads for your business from customers who are already searching for your services.
