Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Currently I'm optimizing content for Anton Laurentiu and I'm doing some keyword strategy, link building...

What would be the best way to target his photography and retouching services? He's based in Romania but also able to travel across Europe.  Establish the website on the Romanian market (romanian language) or do a research at a larger scale? Thanks.

For targeting purposes and better locate  your online services it's better to use "Country Code TLD". Also there is another option in GWT where you can specify the target audience, look also into that.

Hope it helps,

That's true EGOL, I'm in the same situation with my personal website, been trying to optimize the architecture for months and at this time I'm still undecided , weekly I'm changing the order, resize the slides, adding content to the page, optimizing the keywords until I get some results. I work closely with theme developers and I make some technical suggestions after i test the template with different tools.

Currently working on a project for a  talented photographer  and retoucher from Europe who specializes in glamour, fashion, editorial.  I'm a very analytical person and I want this website to have a highly visual impact and a good SEO implementation.

My question is:

Is it recommended to  display the portfolio section on the frontpage or on a separate page. There is also the possibility to include some files on frontpage and have a separate Portfolio page with more projects. Which path are you recommending?

Thanks

Hey G, what are the results from the sitemap, also make sure to check the compatibility of your plugins, caching, etc.

Bonjour Nancy,

You can use any gallery plugin for your WP page and if you follow the guidelines for images you shouldn't have any problem with the SEO. Pay attention to all attributes for images (image name, alt, a href, title, description, image size), I recommend you to optimize all of your files using software like Adobe Photoshop.

From a photographer perspective I like to use Flickr, large community and you can easily create galleries, badges for your website.

Hope it helps

Submit your sitemap in Webmaster Tools to crawlers by using the Fetch as Google option. You'll have your website indexed within 24 hours. After that you can fix the eventual errors by analyzing the Health section from GWT.

Check this  page for more info.

Are you using the Facebook  plugin for WP? You'll have to pay attention when you activate different sections in the settings.

Thanks a lot Keri,

These days with the online competition being so strong we should pay more attention to the website architecture, usability, visual impact, speed and technical problems. SEO it's so complex that you'll find yourself overwhelmed by the number of critical issues that needs to be addressed and fixed. Don't focus just on the content try to enhance every aspect of your page from to . Optimizing pictures takes only a few moments and you can use automated functions in Photoshop.

You can also use the "Fetch as google" in Webmaster tool, submit your sitemap for index,, it takes a day to get the results back brom the crawler. The number of submissions are limited to 10/month.

Social media plays big role these days for SEO and brand awareness . Making use of it can be only beneficial even if you're not getting any juice out of it. SM if used effective can bring you quality traffic, targeted for your needs.

Try using some plugins to protect your content if you're using any cms, it's not enough but it's a start...

Carla after a quick look on your website I noticed that you're using too many characters in your titles, pay more attention to this things as they play an important factor when indexed  also you can use a top navigation menu for better user experience. There are threads about title and meta descriptions.
