Photography Lectures and Presentations
Keith Cooper also presents lectures to photographic organisations and societies (professional and amateur).
At whatever depth and complexity is needed, from the details of semiconductor technology to camera design, Keith can customise presentations to meet your business needs.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) for photographers
Even if asked very nicely, we will not provide SEO services for photographers and other businesses.
As Keith says: "If I wanted to be a web developer I would be - I'm not, I'm a photographer!"
However more than a few businesses are interested in how a simple photography web site like this one manages to get millions of visitors a year, bring in new work, and make thousands of dollars in advertising revenue.
Keith is happy to tell other people how it can be done, and regularly speaks at business networking meetings and conferences.
What's more, even if you pay someone to do the work for you, he gives a checklist of probing questions to stop your business getting ripped off (and maybe by your own web design company)
A few quick tips if anyone calls and tries to sell you SEO services for your site
- Beware -anyone- who calls you.
- Find out how well they do with a quick search for something like 'Search Engine Optimisation Company'. If they can't promote themselves, then how are they going to help you?
- Do they guarantee positions. If so, then hang up... no one can guarantee listing positions.
- How many links they can buy for you? ... any number is bad, this is a good way of getting your site blacklisted
- What strategies will they use to optimise your site ... reputable suppliers will tell you
- What keywords will they optimise for? ... In general, they should be asking you for this info.
- Ask if they can optimise for a basic company category such as 'commercial photographer'. If they say yes then leave alone, since they should be looking at far more detail about what your business does and where it does it.
- Ask for references in your own field of business.
