I wasn’t geotagging and only using filenames for my images. Went through my entire site geotagging all my images and renaming them. Kept most image names to four words, no more than five. Did the same for any images I posted on social media. After a couple of weeks I began seeing results with more inquiries and bookings.

Thank you for sharing, Charlie! That’s such a practical tip.

Interesting! I need to learn about geotagging. I'm rebuilding my site and trying to "properly" name all of the images as I go as well as being very intentional about alternate text details. The learning never ends.
