No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for photographers like you.
An engaged couple searches for wedding photographers in their venue's town, scrolls galleries on Instagram and The Knot, checks reviews and pricing, then asks ChatGPT or Gemini which photographers in the area match their style and budget. A parent searches for newborn photographers near me or family photo sessions in the fall, and a marketing manager searches for a corporate headshot photographer who comes on site. Google AI Overviews now summarize typical package prices and what to ask before booking.
Your studio has to rank for the session type, the location and the style you shoot, and be named in those AI answers. That takes a page for every genre and every town or venue you work in, galleries with real image SEO instead of image-only posts, a Google Business Profile with steady reviews, and consistent listings across The Knot, WeddingWire and Zola. Wedding booking starts a year out, so the work has to be in place early.
What your customers are typing
Every one of these is a search Skyfield can win for you on Google and inside AI answers.
The problems we see most often when we audit photographers.
Photographer sites are image heavy and word light, so Google has almost nothing to rank and AI engines cannot tell what you shoot or where.
The Knot, WeddingWire and Zola rank first for wedding photographer queries in every market and take a cut or a fee for the leads they pass along.
Couples search by venue and town, but most photographers have one portfolio page with no location content, so they never appear for those searches.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how photographers actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations photographers compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
A photography website has to show your best work fast, make your style and pricing obvious, prove reliability through reviews and let a client check availability and book a consultation or session on their phone. Skyfield builds photographer sites that load quickly despite heavy imagery and are SEO-ready from launch.
Photography SEO is local and genre specific. We build a page for every session type you offer, from weddings and elopements to newborn, senior, family, branding and corporate headshots, plus location pages for the towns and venues you shoot most. Galleries get real image optimization with descriptive filenames, alt text and captions, and blog posts about specific weddings and venues earn venue and vendor links. We fix slow image-heavy sites and portfolio platforms that block crawlers, and build reviews on Google and the wedding directories.
Every campaign runs on our Five Pillars of SEO framework and reports from your own Google Search Console and GA4 data, so the numbers you see are the numbers Google sees.
Get a Free SEO AuditWhen a couple asks an AI assistant for wedding photographers near a venue in a documentary style under a certain budget, the engine builds its answer from The Knot and WeddingWire profiles, Google Business Profile reviews, venue vendor lists and photographer sites that state style, locations and pricing plainly. We give your studio that footprint: LocalBusiness and Service schema per session type, consistent entity signals across wedding directories and Instagram, answer-first pages on pricing and what is included, and citations on venue and vendor pages those engines trust.

One free audit covers your technical SEO, rankings, local presence and how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity currently answer for your business.
Plans start at $1,500 per month. Every plan includes SEO and GEO content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts. A solo photographer or small studio fits the Launch plan, and studios with multiple shooters or locations use Growth.
Portrait and headshot searches usually move within two to four months. Wedding photography is competitive and couples book far ahead, so expect six months or more before wedding inquiries reflect the work.
Both. Your studio town anchors your Google Business Profile, and each town and venue you regularly shoot gets its own page with real galleries from that place. Destination work gets its own pages too.
Couples and parents now ask assistants for photographer recommendations by style, location and budget. If your site states those things clearly and your directory profiles match, your name comes up. If your site is only images, it does not.
Only with permission, which should be in your contract. We build a model release and consent step into your workflow so every gallery and blog post you publish for SEO is covered.
Your weekly Monday.com board tracks Google Search Console rankings by session type and town, GA4 inquiry forms and booking clicks, Google Business Profile actions, and which AI prompts now mention your studio.
