I know you are burnt out.
You have tried to figure out the website thing. Maybe you paid an agency and got nothing. Maybe you spent weekends watching YouTube tutorials. Maybe you just gave up and hoped word of mouth would be enough. I get it. I have been there.
Before I was a photographer, I ran a screen printing company called Muckles Ink in Binghamton, New York for ten years. Hundreds of small businesses. I built it from nothing, scaled it, and sold it. When I moved to Santa Fe and started my photography business, I had to build my online presence from zero. No reviews. No rankings. No website worth visiting.
So I figured it out. I taught myself SEO, built my own website, and created systems to manage it all. Today I rank on page 1 for two of the hardest local keywords in Santa Fe (santa fe wedding photographers and santa fe elopement photographer), my brand name is #1, and I have 89 five-star reviews across Google, The Knot, WeddingWire, and Thumbtack -- 5.0 average. I did all of it on a budget smaller than what most agencies charge for a single month. Now I do it for other people.
But here is the thing. I do not want to be your crutch. I want to give you the tools, the knowledge, and the system so that you understand what is happening and why. This is a partnership. I believe in your business. I believe you can do this. I just need to show you how.
