WHY OPTIMIZING SEO IS KEY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESSES
“I had no idea SEO could be this effective. Up until last year I never did any SEO on my site. My jobs were just from referrals and I was stuck in the same level of clients in the same area. We recently landed a $70K job with a client who found us from Google. They saw our website and clicked, we bidded, and the rest was history.”
— Arturo Engel
