Photography and videography studios · Search engine optimisation

A gallery full of photographs gives search engines nothing to read.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) for a studio means being found for the kind of shoot somebody is searching for, when your best proof is images a search engine cannot read. GullySales builds a page per shoot type with real words around the work, and fixes the load speed a heavy portfolio costs you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For photography and videography studios

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The shoot type is the search, not the studio name”

    People type candid wedding photographer, product photography studio or newborn shoot. A single mixed gallery matches none of those, so it ranks for none of them.

  • “Venue words bring enquiries nobody else is bidding on”

    A couple who has already booked a hall looks for a photographer who has shot there. A short page about a wedding you covered at that venue is a page only you can write.

  • “A portfolio site is usually the slowest site in the trade”

    Fifty uncompressed images on the home page take several seconds on mobile data. The couple scrolling at eleven at night has gone before your best frame appears.

What we do

What we deliver for photography and videography studios.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A page for each kind of shoot you want more of

    Separate pages for wedding coverage, pre-wedding shoots, corporate events, product work and newborn sittings, each with its own recent gallery.

    Result: Each kind of work can be found on its own.

  2. Words written around the images

    A short account with every gallery covering the venue, the events covered, the team on the day and what was delivered afterwards.

    Result: There is something on the page for search engines to read.

  3. Image compression and a speed pass

    Galleries resized and compressed, lazy loading set up and the enquiry form checked on a phone on a slow connection.

    Result: The page loads before the visitor leaves.

  4. Venue and location pages from work you have done

    A page for each hall, resort or palace you shoot at often, with your own frames and notes on how the day runs there.

    Result: Couples who have booked that venue find you.

  5. File names, captions and markup on the images

    Descriptive file names, alt text and structured data covering the studio, the services and the reviews, instead of a page of numbered JPEGs.

    Result: Your best asset stops being invisible.

  6. Search and enquiry report by shoot type

    Position and enquiries for each shoot page, set against the baseline recorded before work started.

    Result: You see which kind of work search is actually bringing.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches your buyers type

What a couple or a brand types before booking a shoot, and the page that answers it.

wedding photographer in Jaipur candid
A city page. Show a complete wedding story, not a highlight reel, name the venues you have shot at, the team size and what an album and a film include.
pre wedding shoot locations near Bengaluru
A location page. List the spots you shoot at with real photographs, the best time of day for each, permissions and fees where they apply, and the travel arrangement.
product photography for ecommerce
A product page. Say the shot types, the background options, the number of images per product, how files are delivered and the format for Amazon or Shopify.
newborn baby photoshoot at home
A baby page. Describe how a session runs, the safety steps you take, the props you bring and the age of the baby it suits. Show only sessions with parents' consent.
real estate photography for villa listing
A property page. State what a shoot covers, the finished set, the drone option if you offer it and the permissions needed, and the way a builder or broker books.
drone videography for wedding and events
A drone page. Say what the drone adds, the operator's qualifications and permissions, and the places and times where you cannot fly. Check current drone rules before you publish this page.

Who it is for

This is written for these photography and videography studios.

  • Wedding photography and cinematography studios

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have not decided which shoot types you want more of, so there is no page to build the search work around.
  • Your portfolio sits on a platform you cannot edit, and pages with words cannot be added to it yet.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At an interval agreed in writing we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should there be text on a portfolio page at all?
Yes, a few hundred words saying what the shoot was, where it happened, what was covered and what was delivered. It reads well to a visitor and it is the only part a search engine can index. Put it under the gallery if the design demands.
We shoot destination weddings. Which places should our pages name?
The town you are based in on the main pages, and the destinations you have actually worked in on their own. Claiming twenty places you have never shot gets you nowhere. One honest page about a wedding you covered in Udaipur beats ten thin ones.
Should we caption every photograph?
Not every one, but give each gallery a heading, the venue, the type of event and a few sentences. A search engine cannot read pictures, so the words near them matter. Describe what is in the image for people who use screen readers.
Should the pages show full galleries or a handful of pictures?
A handful on the page, strong ones, with the full gallery on a separate page if the couple agrees. Big image sets slow the page and push buyers away. Compress the files and use a viewer that loads as the visitor scrolls.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
