Get Clients From Google
Monday March 3, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm CST
In the last year, I had 52 leads for my photography business find me via Google. That's 1 lead per week, WITHOUT me posting on Instagram 24/7! 🥳 In this session, I'm teaching the exact same strategy that I use to book clients who find me on Google.

We're going over:
✅ How I've used Google to get leads on a weekly basis
✅ Why you still need a blog in 2025
✅ How I never run out of blog post ideas as a photographer
✅ The simple tech tools you need for great SEO

Something that gets left out of the SEO conversation is how to structure your website for usability and conversions. Because if your website isn't easy to navigate, you can have absolutely perfect SEO, but you still won't get clients. We'll go over this during the session, too!
