Backlinks matter, but you probably already know that. In fact, Iâd be willing to bet that youâve been trying to build them out for a while now.
But (and this is where a lot of people get stuck) getting backlinks from the same handful of sources over and over is not the best strategy. Diversifying where your backlinks come from makes them work even harder for your SEO. Here are three strategies to mix things up (and if you want even more ideas, check out the blog post by clicking on the link in my bio).
⨠Share your galleries with vendors
This is an easy backlink strategy, and if youâre not already doing it - youâre missing out. After an elopement or wedding, share your photo galleries with the other vendors who contributed to the event. You can send a simple email template along with the photos and request that they credit your site anytime they share them online. The vendors you already work with are some of your easiest backlink wins.
⨠Get your weddings featured in publications
Getting featured in an online wedding magazine or blog is one of the BEST ways to get a backlink. But submitting the right gallery to the right publication is key and getting featured is not always guaranteed. But, when you do get featured by a quality publication, thatâs exactly the type of backlink Google loves. (Pro Tip - the higher a websiteâs domain authority, the bigger the SEO boost for you).
⨠Do a blog swap with a vendor you love
Think about the wedding vendors you genuinely love working with and consider doing a vendor spotlight swap on each otherâs blogs. You could interview each other about your services, share behind-the-scenes insights, or even write about how you work seamlessly together with your couples (one of my clients just did a blog collab with a wedding content creator and it was so fun!).
Building backlinks takes time and genuine relationship-building, but theyâre one of the best ways to improve your SEO and get your work in front of more dream clients.
