More tips to make your photography blog a success in 2024

When it comes to creating a photography blog that really works, you are going to have to carry out a series of small actions that will allow you to achieve much bigger goals, such as, for example, positioning on the first page of Google one of your articles that talks, for example, about the first communion sessions you do in the city of Cáceres or getting engaged couples to know your work as a wedding photographer through a post that talks about the 5 ideas that can’t be missed at your wedding in Vitoria.

In order to achieve these and many other goals in an easier way, we are going to share with you 4 tools that will help you achieve them.

Create an editorial calendar and save time with the writing of each article

An editorial calendar is simply a document with a previous planning where you have to define and write down several aspects of the posts you want to write in the coming days or months so that when you have to start writing them it will be much easier and faster. This tool is also very useful to have a more long-term vision of the topics you are going to deal with and at what times of the year. This will allow you to talk about your different sessions at the exact time of the year when your clients are searching, talk about the topics that are trending at that time, etc. This way you will have a more ordered vision of the content you publish in your photography blog and you will save a lot more time the day you have to write a post.

In the following article we talk in more detail about how to create your own editorial calendar.

Check the older posts, Google always likes this

If you are one of those who have been running your photography blog for a long time, you will probably have articles from years ago that do not receive any visits and it is quite logical because, to give you an example, if a person is looking for a portrait photographer in Madrid and finds a post of yours in the search that is from 2012, they will surely discard it for being old.

For this reason, and because Google rewards articles whose content has been updated by improving their positioning, at certain times it is more convenient to revise certain posts that have been written for years and republish them with the current date than to create new ones.

Remove 404 errors from your blog

This is another task that you have to do from time to time, because sometimes a series of links are shared, especially in blog articles, for example, from other suppliers, from events related to photography or your clients, from articles in your own post that you decide to delete, etc., that over time stop working.

This type of URLs that do not lead anywhere are very bad seen by Google and make you lower points when it comes to positioning your content in a better place. But we have very good news, in addition to being able to check your articles one by one looking for this type of failure, you can also use Google Search Console to detect them.

Encourage guest blogging on your photography blog

Guest blogging is nothing more and nothing less than a collaboration on your photography blog from another supplier, colleague or entrepreneur related to your sector who wants to write an article talking about your work.

This type of collaboration is usually reciprocal and ideally, if, for example, a wedding venue writes on your blog, you should also write an article for them. This way, in addition to pleasing Google with outbound links to your website, you will increase your visibility when you write on your partner’s blog and reach a different audience.

As recommendations for this practice, do not abuse it or Google will think it is spam and make sure that the collaborations are with websites that have a certain authority and reputation.

As a tip for future mentions and awards, we encourage this photographer, in addition to sharing a photo of the publication, to write a little about the recognition obtained, this will make his readers more aware of the news and Google will reward him by positioning his post better.
