Calling All Internet Angels!


Can I recruit some help here?

I've been hounded by companies wanting to charge me some mega $$ to get my business listing up on the front page of Google, Yahoo and other search engines.  I later called my web master who advised that it was really very simple to do and he would do it for me at a much lower cost to me.

Now I get an e-mail from him and he states he is "Google Certified" and his rate has shot WAY up.  To the point that it's no longer affordable.  He tells me I shouldn't have snoozed.  Well, when I asked it was Christmas and I had other expenses!  And now I have the upcoming trip to DC & VA.

Sooooooooooo ... I did a little reading and research online today.  OMGosh, I CAN so do this myself and save hundreds of dollars.  Yeah, I'm a little proud of myself at the moment. :-)  I still have more to learn and more reading to get this all just right.
 
What kind of help am I wanting from you?  I need input.  Put yourself in the position of being a bride looking for a wedding photographer.  Or a mom looking to have family portraits done. Both in your own local area.  HOW would you type in your search?  (Okay, I have that part) 
 
Here is where I really NEED the help.  Once you have the listings in front of you, WHAT ad words are grabbing YOUR attention?  

I truly look forward to hearing what grabs your attention when you do such a search.  This will help me in getting my own business out there where it will be seen and found. 

How can I show my gratitude to each of you who take the time to  help me out?  Because I REALLY and I mean REALLY appreciate any help I can get with this.

    For me, I would be looking for any clue about the style of photography you specialize in.  I would be more interested in location shots than those done in a studio.  Yet, in studio shots, I would be looking for fun/spontaneous/the unexpected shot that comes out saying "WOW".  

    Of course, I would like to be able to view weddings, and family/children shots.  I would be interested in seeing client reviews, as well.

    Blessings,

    Just my opinion....when I chose my photographer he had one word that really grabbed me "creative".  I was interested in what he considered to be creative. He also had experienced and the rest of the key words but it was creative that did it.  I called, we talked and he got the job.  Good luck to you.

    If I was looking for a wedding photographer, I would type in two words...... Wedding photographer.
