The best photography keywords combine the type of shoot with a place: wedding photographer in a city, family portraits in a town, corporate headshots in an area. Clients choose photographers close to them for most genres, so every strong keyword should pair a specific service with somewhere you genuinely work.
Wedding keywords
Searches for wedding photographers are highly competitive and very valuable. Pages should show full galleries, packages and the style you offer. See how to write venue pages for a local edge.
Portrait, family and newborn keywords
These searches often come from parents planning a session. Pages should show real sessions, explain what to expect and make booking easy.
