Ideally your title tag should be wedding photography followed by your city. Place your keyword first in title tag and URL.

Ideal character limit for title tag is 70, but I recommend keeping it shorter than 57 characters. It gives more readability to your visitors.

URL of your post and pages should be neat and clean. Try to keep your URL as short as possible.

As shown in above image, your URL structure should be user friendly and catchy.

Launch Blog on your Website:

Along with that, do share some memory of the city in which shoot happens. This will help you to optimize your blog post for that city as well.

Optimize your each blog post for a unique niche keyword. Don’t stick for only a single keyword in each post.

Write long and interesting blog posts. As Google hate thin content, so I always recommend you to write long content with rich keywords.

Launching a blog can not only help you in getting more traffic on your site but also gives authority in the eyes of Google and make your brand recognition.

If blog post is optimized appropriately that  can act as great source for backlinks to your site.

Update your blog content more often so that Google recognize it as fresh.

When you are doing keyword research, Google Keyword planner is really a great tool.

Just type a wedding photography related terms in search bar, it will suggest a list of different keyword with their competition and approximate search volume.

I personally recommend you to go for long specific keywords. Never go for high competitive keywords.

First of all collect a list of social bookmarking sites. Popular Bookmarking sites are StumbleUpon, Digg and Reddit. Before doing any submission to these sites, spend some time on these sites and make some followers on these websites.
