Corey Potter of www.fuelyourphotos.com gives away more SEO info and help than I've seen from any other SEO specialist – both inside his Facebook Group “Fuel Your Photos” and other photography groups. In this interview, Corey shares the big things (and changes) you need to be aware of and ready for with your photography website for 2018 and going forward.
The beauty of Corey as a guest is he is an SEO specialist who focuses solely on the photography industry and understands our particular needs. He has a background in wedding photography where he and his wife built up their photography business, but he's since moved away from shooting and now works on marketing and SEO for photographers.
Here’s some more of what we cover in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners means more interviews and ultimately a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you!
If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.
Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your key words or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to.

I was skeptical… I shouldn't have been
In iTunes by Somerset headshot and portrait photographer, Jason Holt
I'm writing to say how grateful I am to you and your guests for the podcast. I listened to the free version for a while and then subscribed. I was sceptical but should not have been – after a few more short weeks I was hooked.
Your inquisitive but easy-going style has me looking forward to each Monday morning. I do struggle to take action from each episode but am getting better with that.
Please keep up the great work. Thanks so much for the help you have provided my business to-date and everything that you and the guests will provide during the rest of 2018.
Take care, talk soon. Jason
Awesome Podcast – Donnell
In iTunes by one of the best wedding photographers in Greenville SC – Donnell Crear in the USA on February 4, 2018
Andrew has knocked it out of the park again with another brilliant podcast!
His interviews are always engaging and entertaining. The way he drills including on his questions to guests is second to known. I'd highly recommend any photographer giving this podcast a listen.
Figuring out who are your clients, what exactly do they want, how are they searching and making sure that you stand out for being able to answer that question is so, so important going forward. – Corey Potter

At this stage, the blog post generator is designed for weddings, but I know Anna is working hard to release options for portrait, newborn and pet photographers. I'll let you know when they are available.
A lot of times people think of SEO as how can I fix the things on my website whereas, you really need to be thinking about SEO as how do I optimise my entire presence online for search engines. – Corey Potter

Thank you!
Thanks again for listening and thanks to Corey for coming on and sharing so much about SEO for photographers in 2018 for todays episode.
I find that a lot of photographers just aren't very clear on what it is that they wanna do. And that doesn't have to do with SEO, that has to do with you know being an entrepreneur, being a business owner and really being clear about your message and your offer and everything like that. – Corey Potter
