SEO For Photographers - Search Engine Optimisation for Photographers
Improve your search engine rankings on major search engines
Search engine optimisation or SEO is extremely important for any website. You can have the best looking website but if no-one can find it what is the point?
The Websites For Photographers system is set up so that it is very simple to add SEO to all content pages. Once Registered completed the initial steps you will find a help page with basic details for adding SEO to your pages. If you have any queries regarding SEO or our system in general then please Contact Us.
With all our websites, prior to setting them live we will offer to add SEO to some of the main pages free of charge.
With the amount of competition increasing in almost all sectors online it is getting more difficult to achieve a high ranking for relevant key phrases which will generate decent traffic. This problem is exacerbated in sectors such as photography with many amateur photographers setting up websites. We can help improve your rankings.
A search on Google UK returns over 54 Million results for 'photographers' and Our Wedding Memories, our own photographers directory, comes in at number 6 (19/7/2010) so we have experience in achieving good search engine results.
It may well be that with a little tweaking and adding some SEO, that you can achieve a good ranking for local or niche phrases, which will generate enough quality traffic for your requirements. However, some kind of link building strategy is also important so these rankings do not drop over time and you achieve higher rankings in the future for the more competitive phrases.

We can carry out SEO work on any website, not just those on our system. However, any cost would be dependent on how a website is set up and whether we can have ftp access to the website files. If access cannot be obtained we can explain what changes should be made.
Our prices for the above service begin at £200.00 with a 50% deposit and 50% once the initial work is complete, assuming we have access to the web site files.
This includes all initial analysis and reports as well as the addition of tracking code and Google verification. Also included is search engine optimisation of the Home page and up to 5 other pages. Alternatively, we may create one or two new pages linked from existing pages, optimised for the other key phrases.
Addition of your website to our own website portfolio, if not already added, to ensure the changes and pages are indexed by the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing.
Search engine submission to smaller search engines and directories. We do not submit websites to search engines such as Google as the changes will be picked up via links we add to our own websites and should be indexed within 2 weeks of the changes being made. Search engine submission is carried out to generate more links pointing to your website, in order to increase the relevance and rankings of the site on the larger search engines. Very little, if any, direct traffic will be achieved from these other search engines but is an important step in achieving good rankings on Google and the like.
