How Does Google Find You?
Google search results are shown in two different ways:
1. Organic Search (Natural)
2. Paid Advertising

1. Organic Search (SEO):
       Organic search results are listings that appear because of their
       relevance to the search term, and are a more accurate reflection of
       what searchers might want, because they are generated by
       popularity and common usage.

2. Paid Advertising PPC (Pay Per Click):
       Pay per click is an Internet advertising model used to direct traffic
       websites, in which advertisers pay their host only when their ad is
       clicked. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword
       phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly
       charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system.

Eye Tracking: How Users Scan Results Pages
Results – Getting to the Top
Getting onto the first page of Google entails two things:
1. Your Website
2. The World Wide Web
Results – Getting to the Top
Getting onto the first page of Google entails two things:
1. Your Website
2. The World Wide Web
1. Your Web Site
     In order for Google to find your website, it must be built in
     a way that it is easy for search engines to find it. This
     means your website structure and the content on your site
     needs to be SEO friendly.

2. The World Wide Web
    Google considers what is going on around your site and
    who is “recommending” you (linking to you). The more
    links you have, the better Google thinks you are.

Keyword Research: Creating Your List
Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be
approached willy-nilly.

Create a list of about 20 to 30 keywords and phrases that you want your

For example, let’s say you’re a wedding photographer in Philadelphia. The
following words might appear on your Keyword list:
     philadelphia wedding photographer
     wedding photographer in philly
     wedding photographers near temple university
     cheap wedding photographers in philadelphia
     best philly wedding photographer

     wedding photographers near temple university

Using colloquial terms like “philly” and more specific terms like “near temple
university” is likely to drive more traffic to your website.
Keyword Research: Searcher Intent
When someone searches for “eiffel tower photo” their intent is probably
research, but when someone searches for “eiffel tower print for sale” they are
probably much closer to a buying decision.

Intent plays a huge role in
search:
Your website visitors are not a
homogeneous group. So your
SEO strategy should include a
variety of terms that target
different phases of the sales
cycle to convert your visitors to
customers.
Types of Optimization
There are over 200 “signals” that affect SEO rankings and these
can largely be divided into “on-page” and “off-page” factors.

On-Site SEO: The Basics
On-Site SEO: Page Titles
Page title is the piece of text that appears at the top of your browser. How did
such a small piece of text become an important on-page factor?
On-Site SEO: Page Titles
Page title is the piece of text that appears at the top of your browser. How did
such a small piece of text become an important on-page factor?
Consider this analogy: If you walked into a bookstore and none of the books
had titles, how would you know what each book was about?

Consider this analogy: If you walked into a bookstore and none of the books
had titles, how would you know what each book was about?
You want to have unique page titles on every page of your website. Too often
we see a photographer’s name on each page (e.g. “Joe Smith Photography”).
You’re not doing your visitors any favors. Google also hates this repetition.
On-Site SEO: Page Content (Text)
The judicious use of keywords in the body text of your web pages helps
reinforce the words and phrases that are most important to your business.
Avoid exclusively using colloquial phrases like “shot” instead of “photograph”
or “image” because users are much more likely to search for the latter.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that only displaying an image is the best way
to convey that you’re a photographer. You must have text on your website
(and a lot of it) to be successful with SEO.
Include a description of your services on your homepage.

Add relevant keywords to your the filenames of your photos. Photographers
often find this practice disruptive to their digital asset management strategy.
However, this helps you get your pictures into Google Image Search.
Update often. As often as possible.
Create A Massive Online Footprint
The typical photographer’s website
used to be a set of galleries that
represented their best work. In
other words, a digital version of a
printed portfolio.

Instead of 50 images of your top
work,
why not have 5,000 of your
commercially viable images,
all properly captioned and
keyworded?
Give yourself a better chance of
getting found!

Search for each term on your keyword list in Google, and take note of who is
coming up in the top ten results.

You might be surprised to find that your online competition is a completely

You might be surprised to find that your online competition is a completely

There are probably names you’ve never even heard of. But in many ways,
these are more crucial because of the way people search for information.

Ask your SEO guy / firm to perform
a “backlink analysis” for your top
10 online competitors.

If you cannot, then the competition
for that term is too high. Pick terms
with lower competitiveness and
start improving your SEO!
Link Building: Blog
Blogs give you a very easy way to
self publish. You control the
content and the keywords used to
describe your photos, and you can
link back to specific images or
galleries within your website.

Link Building: Topical Relevance
Generally speaking, build as many
links as possible. Each link is a
“vote” or endorsement of your
website, which will improve your
SEO.

However, all backlinks aren’t

This is, in part, why buying links isn’t a good idea. One out of place link from
cotton.com is innocuous, but 1,000 backlinks from unrelated sites looks
pretty fishy to Google.

Try to build link traffic from photography or arts-related websites.
Try to build link traffic from complementary service providers in your
industry (e.g. a wedding photographer might seek links from caterers,
florists, dressmakers, and hair stylists).

Of all the many signals that drive
SEO, social media has jumped the
most recently.

  • 16. How Does Google Find You? Google search results are shown in two different ways: 1. Organic Search (Natural) 2. Paid Advertising 1.

  • 25. Results – Getting to the Top Getting onto the first page of Google entails two things: 1. Your Website 2. The World Wide Web 1. Your Web Site In order for Google to find your website, it must be built in a way that it is easy for search engines to find it.

The World Wide Web Google considers what is going on around your site and who is “recommending” you (linking to you). The more links you have, the better Google thinks you are.

  • 27. SEO Strategy – Your Plan of Action  Understand your business objectives. What is it that you want to gain from the Internet?  Conduct initial Keyword Research. What words would your potential client enter into a search engine to find you or your services?

What words would your potential client enter into a search engine to find you or your services?  Identify Keyword + Landing Page combinations.  Create a baseline ranking and monitor traffic.
  • 30. SEO Strategy – Your Plan of Action  Understand your business objectives. What is it that you want to gain from the Internet?  Conduct initial Keyword Research. What words would your potential client enter into a search engine to find you or your services?  Identify Keyword + Landing Page combinations.  Create a baseline ranking and monitor traffic.  Perform On-site and Off-site Optimization.
  • 31. Keyword Research: Creating Your List Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be approached willy-nilly.
  • 32. Keyword Research: Creating Your List Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be approached willy-nilly. Create a list of about 20 to 30 keywords and phrases that you want your website to rank for.
  • 33. Keyword Research: Creating Your List Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be approached willy-nilly. Create a list of about 20 to 30 keywords and phrases that you want your website to rank for. This list should range from the general to the more specific.
  • 34. Keyword Research: Creating Your List Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be approached willy-nilly. Create a list of about 20 to 30 keywords and phrases that you want your website to rank for. This list should range from the general to the more specific. For example, let’s say you’re a wedding photographer in Philadelphia. The following words might appear on your Keyword list: philadelphia wedding photographer wedding photographer in philly wedding photographers near temple university cheap wedding photographers in philadelphia best philly wedding photographer
  • 35. Keyword Research: Creating Your List Optimizing your website for specific keywords and phrases shouldn’t be approached willy-nilly. Create a list of about 20 to 30 keywords and phrases that you want your website to rank for. This list should range from the general to the more specific. For example, let’s say you’re a wedding photographer in Philadelphia. The following words might appear on your Keyword list: philadelphia wedding photographer wedding photographer in philly wedding photographers near temple university cheap wedding photographers in philadelphia best philly wedding photographer Using colloquial terms like “philly” and more specific terms like “near temple university” is likely to drive more traffic to your website.
  • 36. Keyword Research: Searcher Intent When someone searches for “eiffel tower photo” their intent is probably research, but when someone searches for “eiffel tower print for sale” they are probably much closer to a buying decision.
  • 37. Keyword Research: Searcher Intent When someone searches for “eiffel tower photo” their intent is probably research, but when someone searches for “eiffel tower print for sale” they are probably much closer to a buying decision. Intent plays a huge role in search: Your website visitors are not a homogeneous group. So your SEO strategy should include a variety of terms that target different phases of the sales cycle to convert your visitors to customers.
  • 38. Types of Optimization There are over 200 “signals” that affect SEO rankings and these can largely be divided into “on-page” and “off-page” factors.
  • 39. Types of Optimization There are over 200 “signals” that affect SEO rankings and these can largely be divided into “on-page” and “off-page” factors. On Page : ~25% Off Page : ~75%
  • 41. On-Site SEO: Page Titles Page title is the piece of text that appears at the top of your browser. How did such a small piece of text become an important on-page factor?
  • 42. On-Site SEO: Page Titles Page title is the piece of text that appears at the top of your browser. How did such a small piece of text become an important on-page factor? Consider this analogy: If you walked into a bookstore and none of the books had titles, how would you know what each book was about?
  • 43. On-Site SEO: Page Titles Page title is the piece of text that appears at the top of your browser. How did such a small piece of text become an important on-page factor? Consider this analogy: If you walked into a bookstore and none of the books had titles, how would you know what each book was about? You want to have unique page titles on every page of your website. Too often we see a photographer’s name on each page (e.g. “Joe Smith Photography”). You’re not doing your visitors any favors. Google also hates this repetition.
  • 44. On-Site SEO: Page Content (Text) The judicious use of keywords in the body text of your web pages helps reinforce the words and phrases that are most important to your business. Avoid exclusively using colloquial phrases like “shot” instead of “photograph” or “image” because users are much more likely to search for the latter.
  • 45. On-Site SEO: Page Content (Text) The judicious use of keywords in the body text of your web pages helps reinforce the words and phrases that are most important to your business. Avoid exclusively using colloquial phrases like “shot” instead of “photograph” or “image” because users are much more likely to search for the latter. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that only displaying an image is the best way to convey that you’re a photographer. You must have text on your website (and a lot of it) to be successful with SEO. Include a description of your services on your homepage.
  • 46. On-Site SEO: Page Content (Text) The judicious use of keywords in the body text of your web pages helps reinforce the words and phrases that are most important to your business.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that only displaying an image is the best way to convey that you’re a photographer. You must have text on your website (and a lot of it) to be successful with SEO. Include a description of your services on your homepage. Include a narrative of each gallery that you publish. Include captions for each photo that you publish.
  • 47. On-Site SEO: Page Content (Text) The judicious use of keywords in the body text of your web pages helps reinforce the words and phrases that are most important to your business. Avoid exclusively using colloquial phrases like “shot” instead of “photograph” or “image” because users are much more likely to search for the latter. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that only displaying an image is the best way to convey that you’re a photographer. You must have text on your website (and a lot of it) to be successful with SEO. Include a description of your services on your homepage. Include a narrative of each gallery that you publish. Include captions for each photo that you publish. Add relevant keywords to your the filenames of your photos. Photographers often find this practice disruptive to their digital asset management strategy. However, this helps you get your pictures into Google Image Search. Update often. As often as possible.
  • 48. Create A Massive Online Footprint The typical photographer’s website used to be a set of galleries that represented their best work. In other words, a digital version of a printed portfolio.
  • 49. Create A Massive Online Footprint The typical photographer’s website used to be a set of galleries that represented their best work. In other words, a digital version of a printed portfolio. But by restricting the number of images, you are effectively making yourself the needle in the haystack.
  • 50. Create A Massive Online Footprint The typical photographer’s website used to be a set of galleries that represented their best work. In other words, a digital version of a printed portfolio. But by restricting the number of images, you are effectively making yourself the needle in the haystack. Instead of 50 images of your top work, why not have 5,000 of your commercially viable images, all properly captioned and keyworded? Give yourself a better chance of getting found!
  • 51. Competitive Analysis: Who Are They? Search for each term on your keyword list in Google, and take note of who is coming up in the top ten results.
  • 52. Competitive Analysis: Who Are They? Search for each term on your keyword list in Google, and take note of who is coming up in the top ten results. You might be surprised to find that your online competition is a completely different set of people or firms compared to your real world competitors.
  • 53. Competitive Analysis: Who Are They? Search for each term on your keyword list in Google, and take note of who is coming up in the top ten results. You might be surprised to find that your online competition is a completely different set of people or firms compared to your real world competitors. There are probably names you’ve never even heard of. But in many ways, these are more crucial because of the way people search for information.
  • 54. Competitive Analysis: Backlinks Ask your SEO guy / firm to perform a “backlink analysis” for your top 10 online competitors.
  • 55. Competitive Analysis: Backlinks Ask your SEO guy / firm to perform a “backlink analysis” for your top 10 online competitors. Determine whether you can feasibly create more backlinks than the competition in a 6-12 month time frame.
  • 56. Competitive Analysis: Backlinks Ask your SEO guy / firm to perform a “backlink analysis” for your top 10 online competitors. Determine whether you can feasibly create more backlinks than the competition in a 6-12 month time frame. If you cannot, then the competition for that term is too high. Pick terms with lower competitiveness and start improving your SEO!
  • 57. Link Building: Blog Blogs give you a very easy way to self publish. You control the content and the keywords used to describe your photos, and you can link back to specific images or galleries within your website.
  • 58. Link Building: Blog Blogs give you a very easy way to self publish.

WordPress and other blogging systems now come well optimised for SEO. We can install the All In One SEO Pack and Google XML Sitemaps plugins for your blog just to mention a couple. Make liberal use of text, images, links and even videos in your content.
  • 60. Link Building: Link To Yourself Join photo community sites and trade groups. Most of these allow you to create profiles with links to your website.
  • 61. Link Building: Link To Yourself Join photo community sites and trade groups. Most of these allow you to create profiles with links to your website. Anchor Text: The web allows a user to specify which text is a link. The best SEO links use keywords as the link text rather than generic phrases.
  • 62. Link Building: Link To Yourself Join photo community sites and trade groups. Most of these allow you to create profiles with links to your website. Anchor Text: The web allows a user to specify which text is a link. The best SEO links use keywords as the link text rather than generic phrases. BAD: This is a gallery of my photos of the Empire State Building. GOOD: This is a gallery of my photos of the Empire State Building.
  • 63. Link Building: Topical Relevance Generally speaking, build as many links as possible. Each link is a “vote” or endorsement of your website, which will improve your SEO.
  • 64. Link Building: Topical Relevance Generally speaking, build as many links as possible. Each link is a “vote” or endorsement of your website, which will improve your SEO. However, all backlinks aren’t weighted equally. For example, it’s much more significant for the New York Times Lens Blog to link to your website than Cotton, Inc.
  • 65. Link Building: Topical Relevance Generally speaking, build as many links as possible. Each link is a “vote” or endorsement of your website, which will improve your SEO. However, all backlinks aren’t weighted equally. For example, it’s much more significant for the New York Times Lens Blog to link to your website than Cotton, Inc. This is, in part, why buying links isn’t a good idea. One out of place link from cotton.com is innocuous, but 1,000 backlinks from unrelated sites looks pretty fishy to Google.
  • 66. Link Building: Topical Relevance Generally speaking, build as many links as possible. Each link is a “vote” or endorsement of your website, which will improve your SEO. However, all backlinks aren’t weighted equally. For example, it’s much more significant for the New York Times Lens Blog to link to your website than Cotton, Inc. This is, in part, why buying links isn’t a good idea. One out of place link from cotton.com is innocuous, but 1,000 backlinks from unrelated sites looks pretty fishy to Google. Try to build link traffic from photography or arts-related websites. Try to build link traffic from complementary service providers in your industry (e.g. a wedding photographer might seek links from caterers, florists, dressmakers, and hair stylists).
  • 67. Link Building: Social Media Of all the many signals that drive SEO, social media has jumped the most recently.
  • 68. Link Building: Social Media Of all the many signals that drive SEO, social media has jumped the most recently. When you think about the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, it really isn’t a surprise.
  • 69. Link Building: Social Media Of all the many signals that drive SEO, social media has jumped the most recently. When you think about the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, it really isn’t a surprise. Last year’s backlink is this year’s Like or Tweet.
  • 70. So, it’s all about being #1 on Google for your keywords!!
  • 71. Link Building: Google+ Local A large percentage of searches are geographic-specific, like “new york commerical photographer”
  • 72. Link Building: Google+ Local A large percentage of searches are geographic-specific, like “new york commerical photographer” When Google returns results that have a geographic component, they often supercede the standard results with the Google Maps 7-pack. With some Google+ Local SEO, you too can appear on these results.
