š SEO: influence is the new SEO

QUICK TIPS
1. š Stop selling photos. Sell the outcome.
Your clients donāt want ābeautiful images.ā
They want confidence, memories, growth, peace of mind.
And your website? It should sell that transformation ā not just pixels.
Because a great photography website isnāt a gallery.
Itās a silent salesperson that books while you sleep.
If your homepage still talks about you instead of what changes for them, itās time to shift your focus.
Thatās how photographers rise above the pricing race.
What transformation are you really offering?
2. šØ āI donāt want a text-heavy websiteā ā good instinct.
This comes up a lot. And youāre not wrong.
But hereās the nuance most photographers miss: Less text doesnāt mean less clarity.
Colorful, visual sites still need:
Clear page hierarchy
Obvious next steps
Just enough words to remove doubt
What kills conversions isnāt text.
Itās unclear text.
Iāve seen stunning, minimal websites fail because visitors couldnāt answer one basic question fast enough: āIs this for me?ā
Design pulls people in. Structure keeps them there. Words close the loop.
The sweet spot is visual-first layouts with intentional copy ā not walls of text, not vague headlines.
If your site looks great but feels quietā¦
It might not need more content.
It might need better placed content.
Does your website explain itself in 5 seconds or less?
