Get my in-depth (white-hat) SEO review

The complete SEO review service for photography websites.

I'll highlight everything you're doing wrong now, fix any critical SEO issues, and give you recommendations for improving your rankings and befriending Google.

Good SEO might be the reason you're now on this website, but it requires a whole lot of technical stuff that you probably don't want to deal with. I know many photographers tell me that.

All photographers are fighting for attention online. Those with the resources and knowledge to improve their photo website's rankings will eventually reap the benefits of the increased traffic & exposure.

I don't rely on free SEO testing tools that only give you a few obvious mistakes and an "SEO score". Instead, I use premium site crawling tools and manually comb through all the data to find the relevant issues affecting your website. Additionally, I personally review your site's source code, URL structure, admin area, and more, leaving no stone unturned.

"White-hat SEO" (aka "Ethical SEO") means using SEO tactics that respect Google's guidelines and recommendations, maintaining the integrity of the site, and focusing of the browsing experience of your human audience.

A website SEO review is for you if...

• Your existing website is ranking poorly for your target keywords/phrases, and you want to rank higher and get more traffic.

• You're overwhelmed by the entire concept of SEO and need someone to give you clarity and help you with your site's SEO.

• You've already covered a lot of SEO steps, but not yet getting the results you were expecting.

• You're not sure if your website has technical problems preventing Google from indexing your site properly.
