Kristin Marie Photography is a maternity, newborn, and family photography business based in Raleigh, NC. When I met Kristin, she was just a few months into growing her business, and struggling to get inquiries so she could generate income in her photography business. Despite being passionate and ready to work, her website wasn’t reaching ideal clients, and social media wasn’t something she wanted to do to sustain her business.
The Problem
When Kristin found me, she was just a few months into her business and already feeling the pressure. She took my Full-Time Photography Blueprint course, however, she just didn’t have the time or energy to implement the SEO knowledge she had learned while balancing the demands of her business and family life. Her website wasn’t getting the traffic or rankings she needed, and she was feeling discouraged. The constant need for social media engagement wasn’t something she wanted to keep doing either, so she wanted to prioritize SEO. Kristin needed a solution that would take the burden off her plate and start driving the right leads to her website!
Enter Done-for-You SEO
Kristin decided to invest in my done-for-you SEO service, where I handled everything from start to finish, so she could focus on growing her business and not have to worry about marketing or SEO. I did all the keyword research and strategy so she could show up for the most valuable search terms. I optimized her website’s content, images, and meta descriptions to make sure it was fully optimized for Google’s ranking algorithms. I created a custom link building strategy to increase her domain’s authority, since it didn’t have the domain history that many other photographers in her area had. I also created a content and blog strategy that she could follow for months after! With this hands-off approach, Kristin was able to stay focused on running her business while I took care of all things SEO.
SEO Results
It only took a few weeks for Kristin to see improvements in her Google rankings. After a few months, her website traffic began to increase steadily, and the inquiries started rolling in. She no longer had to worry about where her next lead would come from because her ideal clients were now finding her on Google.
After our done-for-you SEO implementation, Kristin Marie Photography saw incredible results:
Kristin went from almost no rankings to consistently appearing on the first page (and in the first spot) for several important search terms related to her photography business.
Her Google traffic grew significantly, bringing in more potential clients interested in maternity, newborn, and family photography.
Kristin began receiving high-quality inquiries from clients who were ready to book, not just price shoppers.
With SEO working for her, Kristin no longer had to rely on social media algorithms or constant posting to bring in business.
Client Testimonial
When I started thinking about investing in SEO services, I was completely overwhelmed. I knew I needed to get more inquiries through Google but had no idea where to start. Between running my business and handling family life, it just felt like too much.
That’s when I decided to work with Aligned SEO. Taylor was incredible! Not only did she break down what needed to be done in a way that felt manageable, but she completely transformed my website’s performance. Before working with her, my Google traffic and rankings were non-existent. But after? I started ranking almost immediately on Google and began even getting leads from there!
The most valuable thing she did was help me focus on the right keywords and optimize my website for the kind of clients I want to attract. Her insights and expertise in the field were a total eye-opener, and I can’t thank her enough. I would absolutely recommend her services to any photography business owner (except if they are in the Raleigh-Durham area 😉). If you’re feeling lost with SEO or just too busy to figure it out, she’s 100% the person to turn to!
