Is your website pretty? Do you have lots of cool Flash features? Does your site play music automatically when it loads? Did you spend thousands of dollars having a graphic designer create an eye popping logo for you?
None of that matters!
To the search bots, that is.
SEO for Photographers. Search Engine Optimization for Wedding Planners, Florists, Wedding Venues & Wedding Vendors
Google and the other search engines don't care how pretty or cool or fresh or innovative your website looks; they only care about the content of your site. And by content, I mean the information you provide (but often don't) on your website to help the bots identify, categorize, and assign value and rank to your website. Why is this important to understand? Because in an online world of billions of web pages, getting "found" has become considerably more difficult even as the rewards of being found have become signficantly more valuable. Content is King!
My name is Jesse Chatham and I'm the President of SEO for Wedding Pros. I know it's not the coolest name in the world but it gets the point across and that's pretty important these days. Besides, it has one of my keywords ("SEO") in the URL address. That is a good thing!
If you're a wedding industry professional, own and operate a website, and want to get your website to the top of Google for important keywords, then we can be of service to you.
Why provide SEO services exclusively for wedding professionals?
Our niche is wedding industry professionals because I've been involved in the wedding industry since 2003. Married to Denver, Colorado wedding photographer, Julie Harris, I began learning about SEO / Search Engine Optimization, Link Building and Search Marketing in order to get Julie's site to the top of Google. Happily, we've enjoyed great success in this endeavor! Julie is in the top 5 results on Google for numerous keywords relating to her wedding and portrait photography business in Denver, CO. She even ranks nationally for many other keywords.
I am also the founder of photographik - the elite photographers network. photographik has attained many top 10 results on Google for a wide range of keywords and search strings for regions across the country.
Check out some of the top 10 rankings that photographik.org has achieved here.
How effective will SEO and Search Marketing be to my business?
Ahhm. Well. How should I put this... EXTREMELY, WONDERFULLY, BEAUTIFULLY EFFECTIVE!!!
I know this first hand. Julie's photography site has enjoyed top 10 and top 5 placement on Google for years. Every year she books up to capacity and then some! Her wedding photography inquiries are multitudinous... abundant... not in short supply. To put a dollar amount on it, and I can only guestimate this, but her top 10 rankings have certainly contributed to hundreds of thousands of dollars of business from clients that simply find her on the Internet and fall in love with her work.
I believe that online marketing, and especially ranking in the ORGANIC top 10 search results for valuable search strings on Google, is by far the best ROI for your marketing dollars. Being at the top of the heap on Google is far more valuable than print ads in The Knot, Wedding Channel or any other printed wedding resource out there for wedding professionals. And many online websites aren't worth their salt either. But some, like photographik and others, can be quite valuable in driving targeted traffic to your website.
