SEO Course

There are 3 main pillars of SEO that you need to understand. Authority, Relevance, and Technical. Almost all SEO factors will fall into one of these 3 main categories.

Once you understand these three pillars, and how Google uses them, you’ll be able to make intelligent decisions about how to optimize your site to outrank your competitors.

If you are trying to rank for any terms that include a location, you’ll need a Google Business Profile to show up in map results. If you already have your GBP set up, use this lesson to make sure everything is optimized!

All website platforms have default settings that may need to be adjusted to improve your visibility and ranking. These lessons will make sure you have a solid foundation before you jump into content + backlinks!

Here are the links for each platform:

WordPress

Squarespace

Showit

Pixieset

Your home page is one of the most important pages on your site. This lesson will show you everything you need to perfectly optimize your home page.

Doing a content audit will help you eliminate the content you DON’T want Google to see.

A solid content strategy can significantly increase your traffic and bookings. There are a few steps to planning and implementing an excellent content strategy.

The content section of our course will still be visible from other lessons, but we’ve created a brand new blogging course that you can access from the main dashboard or by clicking the image below.

There are several types of pages on your site that contribute to your overall authority and reputation. While you don’t necessarily want these pages to rank on their own, optimizing them properly will help your site’s overall ranking.

If you want to rank for more than one “[Location] + [Specialty] + Photographer” keywords (eg. Houston Maternity Photographer AND Houston Newborn Photographer), you’ll probably need to create cornerstone content.

Links are one of the most important ways you can prove that your site is authoritative. Start by getting familiar with the main types of backlinks, then use our specific strategies to target specific types of backlinks.
