I’ve always liked to think of English Wedding as being at the heart of a little cobweb of links, helping wedding businesses. We all know that SEO is really important for showing up on Google search. Link building within your own website and blog is easy. Finding time to blog your wedding business is essential. Getting quality links from other websites is trickier.

I have my own wedding calligraphy business. I know it’s really hard to be brave and reach out to blogs and wedding magazines with guest post suggestions. For that reason, it’s really important to me that English Wedding offers guest blogging to all of our members.

Time, consistency and authenticity – and not being afraid to say it how it is!

When was the last time any online article came up with the goods right at the start?!

I thought I’d make it easy for you – the secret to wedding business blogging is time, consistency and authenticity.

If you can stick around another couple of minutes I’ll explain why!

Making time to blog your wedding business

“I don’t have time to blog” is a major black to most wedding businesses. We are BUSY – like, crazy busy. And at certain times of the year we barely have time to blink.

Using niche keywords and phrases are the secret to blogging your wedding business well. Blogging is all about getting to the top of Google, and in every area of the wedding industry the competition is strong! If you want to appear on the first page of Google for people looking for a ‘UK wedding photographer’ you’ll need to invest heavily in SEO and they might not even book you because hey, you’re in Cornwall and they’re in Durham.

What is a keyword?

I’ve discovered SO many talented wedding photographers and suppliers this year! It feels like 2023 is going to be amazing with everyone hitting the top of their game… and today I’m really excited to introduce you to a documentary wedding photographer whose images I love.

Peak District wedding photographer Tom Hodgson is based in Sheffield and captures weddings all over the UK and destination weddings worldwide.

Every time I add someone new to the English Wedding directory I have a good old nosey around their blog and the About page of their website. Tom’s are both great! (For the record, I’m 100% with you on the whiskey and on the ironing, Tom!)

This post is for all of you lovely folks making weddings happen.

It’s English Wedding’s mission to support suppliers in 2023 – to make our platforms all about SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS to tell couples how AMAZING you are!
