When it comes to SEO, are your website and blogging platforms working for you or against you? If you’re a brand new photographer and budget is the name of the game, I totally understand. We’ve all started somewhere! When I started my business nearly 10 years ago, I was so overwhelmed with the multitude of options available. I definitely didn’t start my photography business to become an expert in the tech field, let me tell ya! While I’m still no expert, I have learned a lot along the way. Let me introduce you to my favorite website and blog platforms for SEO that will actually work for you and help increase your SEO rankings.
Website Platform: Showit
Showit was created for photographers and now serves all types of creative professionals. Whether you’re a coach, online course creator, service provider, or something else, Showit is the website tool you need. Their drag-and-drop platform is beyond easy to use, offers 100% customization, and provides top notch customer service. If you’re a photographer and have never heard of Showit, where have you been? 😉
To add, Showit is for everyone! It can cost you thousands of dollars to work with a custom web designer. It doesn’t matter where you are at in your journey, Showit has something to offer. They have a few different pricing plans based on your needs, including a free one-month trial with my referral link. There are a plethora of free website templates created by designers to get you started. You can also purchase a template that meets your exact needs. And get this…one of the best parts is that hosting is included for your website AND your WordPress blog! The websites are absolutely beautiful and will up level your client experience, making you stand out as the professional you are.
Blogging Platform: WordPress
Not to be confused with wordpress.com, which is a paid website building platform, wordpress.org is totally free! WordPress is the backend of your blog. It’s where you create your blog categories, draft and publish your posts, and reply to comments. The great thing about having Showit and WordPress is that they work perfectly together! You design your blog in Showit, write your posts in WordPress, hit publish, and voila!
But can I share one of the best things about Showit and WordPress, especially when it comes to reaching your ideal customers? These platforms have SEO settings built in. It’s true! No more stressing or second-guessing when it comes to SEO. Showit and WordPress make it easy. Time, stress, and money saved…hallelujah!
