We're sharing how we're actually using AI in our photography businesses—from client meetings to content creation to email writing. If you're not an early adopter, this episode shows you practical, real-world ways to use AI to enhance your work without replacing your personal touch.

On this episode:

• Practical AI tools for recording meetings, taking notes, and capturing client consultations

• Creating SEO-optimized alt text and polishing written content with AI assistance

• Using voice memos and transcription to turn spoken ideas into blog posts and emails

Fathom records your meetings and generates notes automatically, so you can stay focused on your clients instead of typing during consultations.

For creating content from voice, Google Meet with Gemini lets you transcribe your live videos and turn them into written format for blogs, emails, or emails for your audience.

Claude and ChatGPT are both powerful for refining alt text, rewriting copy with your brand voice, organizing client questions for FAQs, and turning transcripts into content.

While AI is a powerful tool to make your life easier, always review and personalize AI-generated content. Your voice, stories, and personality are what connect with your clients and set you apart from other photographers. Never post AI content without double-checking for accuracy and adding your unique perspective.

If you're overwhelmed figuring out where to start with your website and content strategy, Melissa has created 35 Blog Post Topics to help you build a foundation that connects with your audience.

For one-on-one conversation about your photography business goals, Alison offers a free 15 minute discovery call to help you map out your next steps.

We're breaking down the common photography website redesign mistakes that tank your Google rankings—and how to protect your SEO while giving your site a fresh look. Whether you're changing platforms entirely or just updating your design, this episode covers the strategic planning and technical steps you need to know.

On this episode:

• Planning your redesign strategy before you start rebuilding
• Preserving headers, redirects, and internal linking structure for SEO protection
• Submitting sitemaps and cleaning up old code and pop-up forms

Use Go Full Page Chrome plugin to screenshot your entire website before redesigning—this captures all your copy, headers, and layout so you don't lose important content during the transition.

The Pretty Links plugin makes it easy to set up redirects and preserve your internal linking structure, which is crucial for maintaining your SEO rankings when URLs change.

Check out Melissa's Website Redesign SEO Checklist if you are planning a redesign this season. Stay ahead of the mistakes and keep your rankings!
