SEO & AI Visibility for Photographers

The Complete "Done-for-you" SEO & AI search optimization service for photography websites

Not getting enough visitors to your photography website?

Whether you need a quick Local SEO boost or a full traffic jumpstart, you're in the right place.

This is not a simple SEO review. It's an expert AUDIT, IMPLEMENTATION, and 1:1 STRATEGY CALL, all focused on the on⁠-⁠site SEO priorities for your website.

It's time to get found by more clients, rank higher, and get more relevant inquiries - from Google and AI search tools ("AISO" for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) - without relying on ads.

I’ll show you exactly what’s holding your site back, fix the critical issues myself, and guide you on how to climb the rankings, on both Google and the new wave of AI assistants.

I don't rely on free SEO testing tools that only generate surface-level report with a few obvious mistakes and a useless "SEO score". Instead, I use professional tools (Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Semrush), then manually dig into the data to uncover the real issues affecting your site.

Additionally, I personally review your site's source code, URL structure, admin area, and more, leaving no stone unturned.

Good SEO involves a lot of technical details you probably don’t want to deal with. I know because many photographers tell me that.

Every photographer is fighting for attention online. Those who invest in their site’s SEO are the ones who’ll see more traffic, inquiries, and bookings over time.

And yes, I strictly follow “White-hat SEO” (aka ethical SEO) - meaning everything is done by the book, with SEO tactics that respect Google's guidelines and recommendations, and with long-term results in mind.

Everything in the Local SEO Booster, plus:

    I'll dig into your top competitors’ websites to spot keyword opportunities, positioning gaps, and content angles you can use to differentiate yourself.

  • Organic traffic analysis

    Learn about your site's most popular pages, and what keywords/phrases people are using to find them. Also learn your top inbound traffic sources and how to get more backlinks.

  • Keyword research and recommendations

    I'll identify the main keywords relevant to your photography services, and where to naturally incorporate them into your site, across both your site and Google Business Profile.

  • AI Visibility analysis:
    • Chatbot simulation tests: I’ll test realistic prompts (with and without your brand name) in multiple AI tools to see how you show up, which competitors are recommended instead of you, and if the AI is hallucinating incorrect details about your business.
    • Entity & NAP audit: I’ll check that AI models can clearly understand who you are, where you’re based, and what you shoot by auditing your on-site copy plus your Name / Address / Phone consistency across your website, Google Business Profile, and key directories.

    • Auditing content for keyword opportunities, finding copywriting mistakes, pruning useless posts, combining pages, deleting & redirecting pages, etc.

    • Writing custom ALT text for homepage images and reviewing overall image SEO.

🤔 Not sure which SEO package is right for you?

Let’s talk. I’ll help you pick the best SEO plan for your needs.

👆 Not ready for the full SEO project?

This is my main traffic-boosting service, for all photographers that don't also need a new website. But if it's outside your budget, you have options:

Quick Wins SEO project: We can schedule a focused 48-hour sprint to fix just 3–5 high-impact on-site SEO problems.

Website Audit & Strategy Call: Get a deep review of your site & strategic direction. 100% of the fee can be credited toward a future project.

Website Support Plan: Subscribe to one of my ongoing care plans - and I’ll do incremental high-priority SEO fixes while keeping your site healthy.

Consulting Call: Book a 1-on-1 session to get clarity on where to focus first.

What's not included:

  • Advanced, large-scale keyword research for blogging and content marketing isn’t included. But I’ll give you a clear starting point with high-impact keywords and recommendations.
  • I don’t handle active link-building, PR or marketing outreach for you, but I can point you toward ethical strategies and recommend quality learning resources or professionals if you want to explore it yourself.
  • This is a one-time service that doesn’t include ongoing monthly SEO updates, blogging, or content creation. For that, you can book consulting calls or enroll in a support plan. And I can get you in touch with skilled copywriters (working specifically with photographers).
  • I don’t use shady SEO tactics or tricks. No keyword stuffing, no link schemes, just clean, ethical SEO that builds real trust with search engines over time.

Also not included: "100% guarantees"

SEO is a long-term game work and doesn't come with guarantees, so I won't offer them and make false promises.

In fact, Google's guidelines on search marketing particularly state: "No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings." So if you want that kind of SEO service, check your spam folder.

Search engine rankings are unstable and can't be controlled. They can only be slowly influenced using the core principles that Google values: quality, user‑experience, trust, accessibility.

So I won't give guarantees, but I'll make an honest commitment instead: I will just do my best to improve your site's SEO, cleanly and thoroughly, while also teaching you where & how to do your SEO work as well.

Does SEO still matter?

Yes, and it’s still one of the best ways to get long-term traffic without paying for ads. The majority of photo buyers turn to Google when looking for photographers, more than any other source. And when they get there?

Top 3 search results get 60-80% of the click traffic

If your website isn't showing up, you're invisible to a huge chunk of your potential clients. But SEO isn’t just about keywords anymore. Search engines now look at everything, your content quality, page speed, user experience, and site structure. That’s why my SEO service covers it all, from technical fixes to strategic positioning.

What AI visibility means for photographers

Many of your clients are already using AI to plan their events and shoots. If a client asks ChatGPT for a vendor list and you aren't there, you didn't just lose a click, you lost the referral. I ensure your business data is structured so "robots" trust you enough to recommend you:

  • Being one of the photographers AI tools name when couples ask for vendors in your city, niche, or style
  • Having your site cited and linked in AI-generated answers (not just buried as one of many Google results)
  • Making sure AI describes your brand correctly – location, style, pricing tier, and specialties – instead of pulling old or random info
  • Protecting your visibility as AI Overviews and chat-style results take more space at the top of Google

Do I know anything about SEO?

I’ve written dozens of in-depth SEO articles specifically for photographers:

I’ve also taught SEO to hundreds of photographers through consulting, courses, and webinars.
