done for you SEO services for Photographers
Your website is gorgeous but Google is hiding it on page 7.
You've got stunning images, a website you're proud of, and clients who rave about you. But when people search for a photographer — on Google or AI — you're nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, photographers with half your talent are showing up and booking your ideal clients.
We can fix that.
You thought you could make it work with Instagram alone—and clearly that's not working. You're tired of dancing for the algorithm, posting in Facebook mom groups, and hoping someone happens to see your work. There has to be a better way.
Social media isn't cutting it
Sound familiar?
Girl, we get it. SEO feels like learning a foreign language while juggling kids, client sessions, and a never-ending to-do list. That's exactly why our done for you SEO services exist.
You've tried to figure it out yourself. You've Googled "SEO for photographers" and fallen down a rabbit hole of conflicting advice. You've even asked ChatGPT for help but honestly? It's all still over your head. What even IS an H1 heading anyway?
SEO? More like
S-E-Ugh.
You search for photographers in your area and you're nowhere — not on Google, not in AI results, not anywhere. Meanwhile, photographers with half your talent are showing up everywhere and booking YOUR dream clients.

Why trust me with your SEO?
I'm not just an SEO expert—I'm a photographer who's ugly-cried over an empty inbox. (More than once, if we're being honest.)
I've relocated twice and ranked page 1 in brand new markets within 6 months. Both times. I get what it feels like to be invisible.
With 17+ years behind the camera and 10+ years in IT, I understand both the tech AND your business. Generic SEO agencies don't get that "maternity photographer Richmond VA" attracts totally different clients than "Richmond headshots."
We've helped 125+ photographers get found. My team & I know what works. Learn more about the team.
I'm Melissa. Photographer, SEO Educator & Podcaster!
Six months from now, you'll still be posting on Instagram hoping someone sees you. Still wondering why photographers with half your talent are fully booked. Still invisible to the dream clients who are searching for you RIGHT NOW — and booking someone else.
Here's the thing: Google isn't going to magically figure out your website. And the algorithm fairies aren't coming to save you. (Trust me, I've waited.)
The photographer on page 1? She's not better than you. She just showed up first.
What happens if you do nothing?
This is where we're different. We don't just tweak your existing pages—we custom-build landing pages for each genre you shoot, designed to rank AND convert.
Week 3: Landing Pages
This is the deep clean. We optimize your content, headers, images, meta descriptions, alt text, internal links, and technical settings so Google finally sees you as THE photographer in your area. (Yes, we handle all the nerdy stuff you've never heard of too.)
Week 2: Homepage Optimization
Here's exactly what happens with our done for you SEO
We optimize a blog post (hello, built-in template you can copy forever), hand you a 12-month blogging plan with keywords mapped to each topic, and overhaul your GBP to win local search for Full Website clients. (Focused Fix gets our GBP course.)
Week 4: Blog Optimization + Google Business Profile
You'll get a 1-hour strategy Zoom with Melissa (Full Website clients) plus 1 week of email support. Got questions? We've got answers. You're not on your own.
After: 1 Week of Email Support + Strategy Handoff
You'll receive a workbook to help you gather everything we need—your copy & updated images, your ideal clients, your service areas. This way we hit the ground running.
Before We Start: Onboarding Workbook
We dig into your website and find exactly what's keeping you invisible. Then we research the keywords YOUR dream clients are actually searching.
Week 1: SEO Audit + Custom Keyword Research
just a few of our fans!
Most done for you SEO providers swap out some keywords, update your meta descriptions, and call it a day. That's not what we do.
We rebuild your homepage from the ground up and create custom landing pages for every genre you shoot — all designed to match your brand, rank on Google, AND turn visitors into paying clients.
Because what's the point of getting found if your site doesn't book?
"Not only are my ideal clients finding me, but the edits we made to my site are helping to convert them." — Katie Ward, NYC Lifestyle Photographer
We don't just optimize. We build.
This isn't your typical done for you SEO service
Google today. AI tomorrow.
Our clients aren't just ranking on Google — they're showing up in AI search results too. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude... when people ask for photographer recommendations, our clients get mentioned and BOOKED.
The SEO foundation we build? It's future-proof.

Questions About Our Done For You SEO?
Our done for you SEO focuses on optimizing the words, headers, and behind-the-scenes settings—not redesigning your beautiful site.
Q: Will this change how my website looks?
Probably not! That's actually a myth. We helped Katie rank for lifestyle family AND personal branding on ONE site. We'll create a strategy that works for your unique business.
Q: I shoot multiple genres. Do I need separate websites?
Competitive markets just take a bit longer, but they're totally doable. (Just ask Jacqueline who's ranking #1 in NYC!) We may recommend adding our Citations & Backlinks service to boost your domain authority faster.
Q: What if I'm in a super competitive market like NYC or LA?
Absolutely. That's actually one of our specialties. We'll create a keyword strategy that targets all your service areas.
Q: I serve multiple cities. Can you help with that?
Right now we only offer Done For You SEO for ShowIt websites. But don't worry—our Group Coaching program works for MOST other platforms! Check it out here →
Q: I'm on Squarespace/Pixieset/Wix. Can you still help?
Nope, and run away from anyone who does! What we CAN promise is that that our done for you SEO has helped 125+ photographers improve their rankings using the same proven process we'll use on your site.
Q: Can you guarantee I'll be on page 1?
While we can't predict an exact date, most of our clients start seeing ranking improvements in 3-6 months. From there it takes about 12-18 months to see steady inquiries from SEO. SEO is a long game, not a quick fix—but it's SO worth it.
Q: How soon before I start seeing results?
Because we're not just optimizing—we're building. Custom landing pages designed to match your brand take time to do right. The extra weeks mean you get pages that rank AND convert, not a quick polish that looks like everyone else's.
Q: Why does this take up to 4 weeks when other services do it in 7 days?
