Creating that relationship by championing them first and being a supporter of them.
00:00:52 [Alison]
Hey, I’m Allison, military spouse and family photographer.
00:00:55 [Melissa]
And I’m Melissa, also a military spouse, lifestyle newborn photographer, and SEO expert for photographers.
00:01:01 [Melissa]
Between the two of us, we have a combined twenty seven years in photography and have lived through nine business relocations.
00:01:07 [Alison]
We’ve coached each other through all these challenges privately on Marco Polo, and now we’re bringing our polos public.
00:01:13 [Alison]
On this podcast, we’ll give you actionable steps to help you keep it moving.
00:01:19 [Melissa]
Hey.
00:01:19 [Melissa]
So welcome back to the show.
00:01:21 [Melissa]
Today, we are doing another one of our touring sessions.
00:01:24 [Melissa]
Whoop whoop.
00:01:25 [Melissa]
So we’re really excited about that.
00:01:27 [Melissa]
This week, we are talking to Courtney Hauck, and she is in Nashville, but I’m curious if that’s where she’s staying or if that’s where she’s come to or if like what’s the move situation there, but let’s go ahead and get started so Courtney tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:01:40 [Melissa]
Basically.
00:01:41 [Melissa]
What do you shoot?
00:01:42 [Melissa]
Where do you live?
00:01:43 [Melissa]
Have you already moved?
00:01:44 [Melissa]
Are you moving soon?
00:01:45 [Melissa]
And if you wanna tell us, like, what’s prompting to move because I know sometimes we have military people.
00:01:49 [Courtney]
Go for it.
00:01:50 [Courtney]
Hi.
00:01:50 [Courtney]
Yeah.
00:01:50 [Courtney]
Okay.
00:01:51 [Courtney]
So I’m Courtney.
00:01:52 [Courtney]
I do currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:01:55 [Courtney]
Moved.
00:01:55 [Courtney]
But with the move, I kinda took a break when we did move here.
00:01:58 [Courtney]
So I’m kind of in the position where, like, I’m finally starting to reset my business after having our third baby and renovating a house and all the fun things.
00:02:06 [Courtney]
So, yeah, I’m just I’m here already, but I I feel like I kinda just moved here in the sense of, like, my business.
00:02:13 [Alison]
Yeah.
00:02:13 [Alison]
So what do you shoot?
00:02:14 [Courtney]
I shoot primarily newborns, maternity, and families.
00:02:18 [Alison]
Okay.
00:02:18 [Alison]
Do you do studio or are you on location?
00:02:20 [Alison]
On location.
00:02:21 [Alison]
And then how long have you been there?
00:02:22 [Courtney]
We well, we’ve moved here about a
00:02:25 [Courtney]
year and a half ago.
00:02:26 [Alison]
Okay.
00:02:26 [Courtney]
So I felt but like I said, I kind of wasn’t really focused on the business and the gangs.
00:02:30 [Courtney]
And now that I’m ready to jump into it.
00:02:32 [Alison]
I get it 100%.
00:02:33 [Alison]
So what have you done?
00:02:34 [Alison]
What did you do to prep for that move if anything and then what have you done in those eighteen months?
00:02:39 [Courtney]
I didn’t really do a lot when
00:02:40 [Courtney]
I was back home.
00:02:42 [Courtney]
I I don’t even think I had a website yet.
00:02:44 [Courtney]
A lot of my business was kind of just like friends or referrals in that sense.
00:02:47 [Alison]
Yeah.
00:02:48 [Courtney]
So since I have moved here, I’ve definitely been working on my website working on SEO.
00:02:52 [Courtney]
I’ve taken Melissa’s PPR class or
00:02:55 [Melissa]
course and everything.
00:02:56 [Melissa]
I know.
00:02:56 [Melissa]
My group coaching.
00:02:57 [Melissa]
I was like, why is your name so familiar?
00:02:59 [Melissa]
Why is this website familiar?
00:03:00 [Melissa]
And I was like, oh, I’m having first day of summer kids home brain fart.
00:03:03 [Melissa]
And I was like, you’re one of my group coaching students.
00:03:06 [Melissa]
I know this.
00:03:07 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:03:07 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:03:08 [Melissa]
So I’ve done
00:03:09 [Alison]
You’ve done website.
00:03:10 [Alison]
What else?
00:03:10 [Alison]
I’m sorry.
00:03:11 [Courtney]
Mhmm.
00:03:11 [Courtney]
Yeah.
00:03:12 [Courtney]
So I’m definitely working on all of that trying to do the website just starting on blogging getting my name out there I think the biggest issue that I have is the market that I serve is like Nashville and Franklin, but I live outside the city So even just trying to like find clientele that’s not within my like circle of friends because this would not be my ideal client where I live
00:03:33 [Alison]
Okay outside.
00:03:34 [Alison]
So what is your ideal client?
00:03:36 [Courtney]
Probably just more higher end people.
00:03:39 [Courtney]
I live in a small town.
00:03:41 [Courtney]
Yeah.
00:03:41 [Courtney]
Probably prefer all the, like, mini session type type of photographers.
00:03:45 [Alison]
Have you identified the area where your ideal client is within Nashville and Franklin?
00:03:49 [Courtney]
Yeah.
00:03:50 [Courtney]
There’s definitely pockets within, like, Nashville and Franklin, but Franklin’s a huge one just Nashville as a whole and that’s another thing is like not being super familiar with all the neighborhood pockets Yeah, I’m not knowing not knowing how to research all of that as well Yeah,
00:04:04 [Melissa]
I mean, when I moved to Miami, my I talked to my realtor, she was like, oh, you should be targeting Boca.
00:04:08 [Melissa]
And I spent, like, twelve months targeting Boca only to real nope.
00:04:12 [Melissa]
All my clients were in Coral Gables, which was, like, an hour and a half the other direction.
00:04:15 [Melissa]
So, yeah, it takes time to figure it out.
00:04:18 [Courtney]
And depending on who you ask, I’m sure you get a bunch of different answers.
00:04:21 [Courtney]
Oh, yeah.
00:04:21 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:04:21 [Melissa]
Some people were like, I don’t understand why you’re not booking more Boca.
00:04:23 [Melissa]
And I was like, I don’t care because I’m booking clients left and right in Coral Gables.
00:04:27 [Melissa]
So I’m good.
00:04:28 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:04:29 [Alison]
One of my things that I used in Virginia Beach was neighborhood magazines.
00:04:33 [Alison]
So there’s a couple different publishers.
00:04:35 [Alison]
I think it’s Best Version Media.
00:04:37 [Alison]
They only work with higher end, upper class, upper middle class in higher neighborhoods.
00:04:43 [Alison]
They have identificates for you.
00:04:44 [Alison]
So if you can I think gosh?
00:04:47 [Alison]
BBM.
00:04:47 [Alison]
I think it is BBM because there’s N2 and BBM.
00:04:51 [Alison]
It might be N2.
00:04:52 [Alison]
I can’t remember which one it is, but one of them will go anywhere willy nilly.
00:04:56 [Alison]
Right?
00:04:56 [Alison]
One of them is very exclusive about who they’ll work with and what neighborhoods they’re targeting, and they were very spot on in Virginia Beach.
00:05:04 [Alison]
So yeah.
00:05:04 [Alison]
So that would be good support for that market research.
00:05:06 [Alison]
If there’s nothing, then it’s Nashville.
00:05:08 [Alison]
I don’t think there’s nothing.
00:05:10 [Alison]
Hawaii, we don’t have any.
00:05:11 [Alison]
So that’s been kind of it’s not been useful in Hawaii because Hawaii just doesn’t have them.
00:05:14 [Alison]
But Hawaii has a weird dynamic of people who don’t live here and resident all over the place.
00:05:18 [Alison]
So but I would I’ll have follow-up with that and figure that out for you which one it was because it was a great resource and stop gap for getting clients, meeting people, networking, networking with businesses, but also networking and and meeting families that were ideal clients.
00:05:32 [Alison]
It would help get me work, get me in with people.
00:05:35 [Alison]
Working with them could be a really interesting networking option there for you.
00:05:39 [Alison]
Hey.
00:05:39 [Alison]
Yes.
00:05:40 [Alison]
I’m talking to you.
00:05:41 [Alison]
How are you feeling about this move?
00:05:43 [Alison]
It’s a lot to process, but I’ve got something for you.
00:05:46 [Alison]
I want you to pre move checklist to make things a little easier.
00:05:49 [Alison]
Even if you’re not sure where you’re going yet, it’s not too early to start.
00:05:52 [Alison]
But you could be losing time on that SEO juice if you dilly dally.
00:05:55 [Alison]
So head over to alisonbell.co, that’s alisonwith1l,bell.co, to get your pre move checklist.
00:06:03 [Alison]
You got this.
00:06:04 [Alison]
Okay.
00:06:04 [Alison]
So is are you doing anything?
00:06:06 [Alison]
Have you revamped anything?
00:06:07 [Alison]
Have you like made any big biz changes this go around?
00:06:11 [Courtney]
Yes since I moved I’m definitely tapping in more into like the luxury market like trying to sell the products and do more of like a full thing with like offering the hair and makeup and Kind of just helping out helping out the busier moms with that.
00:06:24 [Alison]
How is that going for you?
00:06:26 [Courtney]
So I mean slow so far, but I’ve kind of just started to implement it So I’m really just struggling to find the clients who want that, but I know they’re out there.
00:06:35 [Courtney]
Clients.
00:06:36 [Alison]
Okay.
00:06:36 [Alison]
Yeah.
00:06:36 [Alison]
Good.
00:06:37 [Alison]
Yes.
00:06:38 [Alison]
You’ve got a good head on your shoulders.
00:06:39 [Alison]
Yes.
00:06:39 [Alison]
Okay.
00:06:40 [Alison]
Cool.
00:06:40 [Alison]
Alright.
00:06:41 [Alison]
So, what about your keyword research?
00:06:43 [Alison]
You’ve done all that with Melissa?
00:06:44 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:06:45 [Melissa]
Yep.
00:06:45 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:06:46 [Melissa]
Okay.
00:06:46 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:06:46 [Melissa]
So she’s been with me since, like, January,
00:06:48 [Alison]
I
00:06:49 [Melissa]
think, somewhere in frame.
00:06:50 [Alison]
Okay.
00:06:50 [Melissa]
And so keyword research and her on page SEO, like, we’ve gone through all of that stuff.
00:06:56 [Melissa]
Once once all of that, like, you’ve got all of those pages good, blogging is gonna be the big thing.
00:07:00 [Melissa]
And if you’ve done the keyword research, you’ll have all of those keywords for blogging.
00:07:03 [Melissa]
And hopefully too, being there eighteen months, you’ve probably learned a little bit about the area and stuff to give you a better start.
00:07:09 [Melissa]
So that should help you too with blogging.
00:07:11 [Melissa]
And I would say also connecting with some local vendors.
00:07:14 [Melissa]
I just had a girl who was on our group coaching call this week.
00:07:18 [Melissa]
She’d reached out to some, like, local doulas and stuff like that.
00:07:21 [Melissa]
Really connected with them virtually.
00:07:23 [Melissa]
And now she in the short term, while she’s waiting for SEO to take off, they’re referring clients to her.
00:07:27 [Melissa]
So that might be a really interesting thing to think about doing.
00:07:30 [Melissa]
She gets insider knowledge because she’s still in the group coaching.
00:07:33 [Melissa]
If you go into the group coaching, it’s the one that was just from Tuesday.
00:07:37 [Melissa]
There’s some notes in there too, so you can log into that.
00:07:38 [Melissa]
So this doesn’t work for everybody who’s on the podcast, but she can go in and see that person’s story and how they did that.
00:07:43 [Melissa]
But, yeah, just reaching out to some local businesses like that.
00:07:46 [Melissa]
And I think the big thing was really connecting with them.
00:07:49 [Melissa]
Like, introducing yourself, getting to know them a little bit, can each know a little bit, which is where, like, that blogging and becoming a local expert really helps and helping feature them.
00:07:57 [Melissa]
And then once you’ve got that trust established, then it can be helpful for them to refer you in the short term versus long term stuff.
00:08:04 [Courtney]
Okay.
00:08:05 [Courtney]
And then for do you have any suggestions for, again, not being super familiar with, like, the actual city?
00:08:10 [Courtney]
Like Mhmm.
00:08:10 [Courtney]
Do you just old school go to Google and search in, like, best tool is in Nashville?
00:08:14 [Courtney]
Or, like, how would you go about finding these kinds?
00:08:16 [Alison]
Yes.
00:08:17 [Alison]
So So, Wendy, we just recorded a whole episode about that.
00:08:20 [Melissa]
Well, there we go.
00:08:21 [Melissa]
Ago.
00:08:21 [Melissa]
But I will say this.
00:08:22 [Melissa]
So when I went down to Miami Yes.
00:08:24 [Melissa]
Anything.
00:08:24 [Melissa]
And so what I did as much as I pooh pooh on finding clients in Facebook groups, I think as a mom, you join all the Facebook groups.
00:08:31 [Melissa]
Oh, yeah.
00:08:31 [Melissa]
So I would definitely look for all of the mom Facebook groups in Nashville and Franklin.
00:08:35 [Melissa]
And then I would go into those groups, and I would just type the word doula in the search results.
00:08:40 [Melissa]
And then I would find the newest posts and then just start writing down.
00:08:43 [Melissa]
It’s always supposed to somebody’s like, I’m looking for a doula.
00:08:45 [Melissa]
Who do you guys like?
00:08:46 [Melissa]
Just start writing down the names and then putting tally marks if they if more than one person has referred them.
00:08:51 [Melissa]
I mean, I just did that find a cleaning lady here, actually.
00:08:53 [Melissa]
It was like the same process.
00:08:56 [Melissa]
And then once you’ve got kind of a list of, like, five or six names, you know, maybe more possibly, then you can go check, like, their websites, check their Google My Business, see what their reviews say.
00:09:06 [Melissa]
When I wanted to make sure, like, since I didn’t know the business personally, like, do they have terrible reviews?
00:09:11 [Melissa]
They’re off the list.
00:09:12 [Melissa]
Is their website terrible to, like, you know, for a customer to, like, experience?
00:09:16 [Melissa]
They’re off the list.
00:09:17 [Melissa]
And then that way you can kinda narrow it down.
00:09:18 [Melissa]
And from there, you can reach out.
00:09:20 [Melissa]
I think Allison and I have talked about this on networking our episode on networking about, like, following them on social media, commenting on their posts.
00:09:27 [Melissa]
Like, so it’s not just a culture.
00:09:29 [Melissa]
Sharing.
00:09:29 [Melissa]
Sharing.
00:09:30 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:09:30 [Alison]
Creating that relationship by championing them first and being a supporter of them.
00:09:35 [Alison]
Honestly, just being human on Instagram.
00:09:36 [Alison]
Right?
00:09:37 [Alison]
Leaving comment, liking, liking, sharing to stories, doing the things that you want people to do for you, for other people, but doing it repeatedly before you go in with an ask.
00:09:45 [Alison]
Right?
00:09:45 [Alison]
Like a value value value support support support.
00:09:48 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:09:48 [Melissa]
And ask is gonna be to interview them for these blog posts and stuff.
00:09:52 [Melissa]
You know, it’s gonna be to send them questions to feature their business.
00:09:55 [Melissa]
But it sounds a little bit better than just, like, a cold email that’s going out to people and stuff.
00:09:59 [Melissa]
Hey, fellow photographers.
00:10:00 [Melissa]
Melissa Arlena here.
00:10:01 [Melissa]
Does SEO feel super overwhelming to you?
00:10:04 [Melissa]
I get it.
00:10:05 [Melissa]
But guess what?
00:10:05 [Melissa]
SEO doesn’t have to be complicated.
00:10:07 [Melissa]

And then once you’ve got it written and everything, then sharing it with can share it with their network.
00:10:42 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:10:42 [Alison]
So but the short answer to your question, yes, you need to go do it.
00:10:47 [Alison]
You need to you need to be the local expert.
00:10:49 [Alison]
So you need to think back to yourself, you know, eighteen, two years ago, what what were you researching?
00:10:55 [Alison]
What were you researching as a pregnant mom in the area?
00:10:57 [Alison]
What did you need to find out?
00:10:59 [Alison]
What did you need to do with your kids, your other two toddlers?
00:11:01 [Alison]
Do you need rainy day things to do?
00:11:03 [Alison]
Do you need preschool list?
00:11:04 [Alison]
Do you need summer camp activities?
00:11:05 [Alison]
Do you need a list of every free VBS in the in your surrounding area?
00:11:10 [Alison]
That kind of happens behind all moms too.
00:11:14 [Alison]
I know.
00:11:15 [Melissa]
But I
00:11:15 [Courtney]
this summer.
00:11:16 [Alison]
Summer camp summer camp options.
00:11:18 [Alison]
Where can who will take my kid?
00:11:20 [Alison]
How much do I have to pay them?
00:11:22 [Alison]
Christmas events.
00:11:23 [Alison]
Like, I’ve talked about this week before.
00:11:24 [Alison]
I was new to Oahu, and I wanted a list of every Christmas event possible in chronological order.
00:11:31 [Alison]
That blog post blew up, girl.
00:11:34 [Alison]
So you need to be a local expert and you need to dig dig deep on what first, start with you.
00:11:39 [Alison]
Start with what’s useful to you.
00:11:40 [Alison]
What do you wanna know that’s gonna help you?
00:11:41 [Alison]
And then like Melissa said, crowdsource nation you don’t know using those mom groups, and then share it to those mom groups and say, hey.
00:11:48 [Alison]
What did I miss?
00:11:49 [Alison]
Is this good?
00:11:50 [Alison]
Let me know.
00:11:51 [Alison]
They will go and they will tell you.
00:11:53 [Alison]
Yeah.
00:11:53 [Melissa]
And then, honestly, you can share that post in those mom groups once you have that information.
00:11:59 [Melissa]
You could do it even where it’s like, hey I’m gonna share five in the blog post But then I’ve got to like sign up for my lead magnet of you know here get the rest of them Like there’s different ways you can do that, but I’ve seen a local organizer here She just she put out a whole list of like summer camps And, like, I think she had it as a lead magnet.
00:12:14 [Alison]
And I
00:12:14 [Melissa]
was like, that is genius.
00:12:15 [Melissa]
Every mom within, like, a 30 mile radius of Charlottesville on her email list because they were like, yeah, I wanna know about all the summer camps.
00:12:21 [Melissa]
And I think recently, I saw she posted she actually did post in the mom’s group.
00:12:24 [Melissa]
Hey, I’m researching an article on blah blah blah and then asking for advice, like who do people recommend for stuff?
00:12:30 [Melissa]
And I was like, there she is again.
00:12:32 [Melissa]
I was like, I’m gonna have to reach out to this girl because I see what she’s doing and she’s doing it right now.
00:12:35 [Alison]
She’s doing it.
00:12:35 [Alison]
She’s killing it.
00:12:36 [Alison]
That’s how I did it is, hey, tell me all the Oahu Christmas events.
00:12:39 [Alison]
I asked my neighbors.
00:12:40 [Alison]
I asked the neighborhood page.
00:12:41 [Alison]
I asked the city page, and I asked, some other Oahu general stuff.
00:12:46 [Alison]
And I and what I did is I linked it on there.
00:12:48 [Alison]
I was like, hey, I made a list.
00:12:49 [Alison]
Tell me if I got it all.
00:12:50 [Alison]
And people commented and commented.
00:12:52 [Alison]
I mean, it went off.
00:12:53 [Alison]
It blew up so much, Courtney, that Google was going, there’s an anomaly on your website.
00:12:58 [Alison]
There’s, like, 500 more clicks than there than we expected.
00:13:00 [Courtney]
Than anything else.
00:13:01 [Alison]
And it was it was so quick and so soon it hadn’t even been indexed yet.
00:13:05 [Alison]
So it yeah.
00:13:06 [Alison]
So start, you know, start with what is useful to you.
00:13:09 [Melissa]
Okay.
00:13:09 [Melissa]
Do you need your client?
00:13:10 [Alison]
To make it good.
00:13:11 [Melissa]
Yeah.
00:13:11 [Melissa]
Think about your ideal client.
00:13:12 [Melissa]
Like, if your ideal client if you’re looking for more luxury high end, like, vet what you’re putting on that list because it’d be a crowded area that in a section that nobody wants to drive to or whatever and your ideal client wouldn’t do or they’re they’re just not into that, then don’t include that on the list.
00:13:26 [Melissa]
Like, you really wanna customize it for your client.
00:13:28 [Alison]
I’m thinking I’m thinking since you just had a baby, you are your own ideal client to start with.
00:13:32 [Alison]
So those topics are what you’re gonna want.
00:13:34 [Alison]
But Melissa’s right.
00:13:35 [Alison]
Like, that and make sure it’s gonna be a high quality, high caliber, convenient thing to your ideal client.
00:13:40 [Courtney]
Mhmm.
00:13:41 [Courtney]
That’s it.
00:13:42 [Courtney]
Okay.
00:13:42 [Alison]
Alright.
00:13:43 [Alison]
So to recap, we want you to your your SEO is done.
00:13:47 [Alison]
Check.
00:13:48 [Alison]
Well done.
00:13:49 [Alison]
Keep going with that.
00:13:50 [Alison]
You need to be a local expert and we want you to be a top resource for your ideal clients, in terms of newborn family and maternity photos.
00:13:57 [Alison]
So whether that’s boutiques, whether that’s ice cream, you figure that out, you write those blog posts and you do that as much as possible.
00:14:03 [Alison]
Connect with the vendors.
00:14:05 [Alison]
And then connect with their vendors in person.
00:14:07 [Alison]
Connect with them on Instagram first, champion them, share them, give them value, and support them.
00:14:13 [Alison]
And then, you know, one thing I heard just one day just DM and say, hey, what’s your cough what your what’s your Starbucks or order?
00:14:19 [Alison]
And then take them Starbucks when you go to ask them or go to interview.
00:14:22 [Alison]
Like, just go do it, you know?
00:14:24 [Alison]
Don’t even say, can I?
00:14:25 [Alison]
So yeah.
00:14:26 [Alison]
And then I think it’s IntuMedia.
00:14:27 [Alison]
I need to double check this, but I want you to reach out to IntuMedia or research, if they’ve got any public in your area.
00:14:32 [Alison]
And then I want you to reach out to their publisher and see if they need a photographer and then work with them.
00:14:36 [Alison]
And that’ll get you that’ll be a nice short term stop gap.
00:14:39 [Alison]
It may or may not pay, but it’ll be getting you in person connecting with other networks and vendors that are serving your same ideal client.
00:14:46 [Courtney]
I can do that.
00:14:47 [Alison]
That’s awesome.
00:14:47 [Alison]
Okay.
00:14:48 [Alison]
Do you have any questions for us?
00:14:49 [Courtney]
I think you guys covered pretty much everything that I kinda know I need to be working on.
00:14:53 [Courtney]
So I’m gonna get to it.
00:14:54 [Alison]
Now it’s time to, like, double down right on summer.
00:14:57 [Courtney]
Exactly.
00:14:57 [Courtney]
Yeah.
00:14:58 [Melissa]
I mean, and actually with those posts like Allison was talking about, summer activities for people with young kids, foddies, that kind of stuff Yeah.
00:15:05 [Alison]
As you’re
00:15:05 [Melissa]
I started as you’re doing the others.
00:15:07 [Alison]
I started with mine about with things that my kids could do because I found that there was a hole for my oldest who is 14.
00:15:13 [Alison]
There’s nothing for a kid anybody who’s 13, 14, or 15 here because they can’t work, but they’re too old for all these camps.
00:15:19 [Alison]
But then when I shared it in the Facebook group, somebody was asking, what about my two to three year old?
00:15:23 [Alison]
And so I was like, oh, well, maybe the preschools had something or the but she was right.
00:15:28 [Alison]
There was a hole that I missed because that’s not my that’s not my zone of genius anymore right
00:15:32 [Melissa]
now.
00:15:32 [Melissa]
Right.
00:15:33 [Alison]
So so it’ll be really useful.
00:15:34 [Alison]
So awesome.
00:15:35 [Alison]
Well, blessings.
00:15:36 [Alison]
You can do this.
