Growing online
Getting found on Google starts with a fast, secure site, clear pages about what you do, and a name that's easy to remember — then you build from there.
A live, secure website with clear pages is the foundation.
Google needs something to show people. Publish your site, make sure your home page explains what you do and where you are, and include a contact page. Free SSL helps — secure sites are favoured in search.
Write headings that say what you do in words your customers actually use.
"Wedding photographer in Bristol" beats "Welcome to my site". Name your pages clearly — About, Services, Contact — and describe your offer in plain English.
Submit your site to Google Search Console once you're live.
Search Console is free and tells Google about your site. It also shows you what people search for to find you — useful once you start getting visitors.
Update your site regularly — new photos, offers, or blog posts help.
You don't need to blog every week. But keeping your hours, menu, portfolio or services up to date shows Google (and customers) that your site is active and trustworthy.
