Hi everyone Apologies but I need to cancel tonight's Q&A session. I'm having some medical treatment at the moment and it's just wiped me out and I need to rest up. I have rescheduled for next Tuesday 10th March at 8pm UK time and hope to see you all then. Thank you for your understanding Simon

I was going to run a Q&A session tomorrow (Tuesday) but I've had to reschedule it. It will now be on Tuesday 3rd March - available free to anyone on the SEO for Photographers course.

For those who missed the free Q&A session tonight

Here's a tool I shared in yesterday's Q&A session which some of you have asked about. Its called Clicky - it's an analytics tool and complimentary/alternative to GA4 Analytics are important to know what's actually working on your site. Are people seeing your portfolio? Are they getting in touch? Or are they leaving your site without taking action? This is where understanding your website traffic is incredibly helpful. This is why Clicky is really useful. Why Should You Bother With Analytics? I know that you're a photographer, not a data analyst. But understanding what's happening on your site can help you figure out: - Which of your photos are the most popular with your visitors. - How people are finding your website (e.g., Google, Instagram, or a link from another site). - What pages they view right before they decide to contact you. - If your marketing efforts, like a Facebook ad, are actually bringing people to your site. Knowing this information is valuable. It means you can stop guessing and start making informed decisions to attract more of the clients you want. What Is Clicky and Why Is It Different? While Google Analytics is a well-known option, many people find it complex. Clicky is a great alternative because it’s built to be straightforward and gives you the information you need without a steep learning curve. One of its best features is that it shows you what's happening on your site in real-time. Useful Features in Clicky Clicky has some great features that are especially helpful for photographers: - Real-Time Visitor Info: You can see visitors as they arrive on your site, where they came from, and what pages they're looking at. This is great for seeing the immediate impact of a new blog post or social media share. - Heatmaps: This is a fantastic feature that shows you exactly where people are clicking on your pages. Are they clicking on a specific portrait? Or is a landscape photo getting all the attention? It helps you understand what your visitors are drawn to. - Uptime Monitoring: If your site ever goes down, Clicky can send you an alert so you can get it fixed quickly. - Cleaner Data: It’s very effective at filtering out bots and spam traffic, so the stats you're looking at are from real people. - Privacy-Focused: Clicky respects visitor privacy and is GDPR-compliant by default, which is important for building trust with your audience.
