Emilie at Ashwood VA is genuinely helping to transform the way I run my business, making things easier for both my clients and myself. From the very start, she took the time to understand what I needed support with, asked all the right questions and made recommendations that work for me. She has helped streamline my business by setting up a new client management system, making my clients journey much smoother and easier. Everything has been explained clearly and in a really easy-to-understand way, which has made the whole process feel far less overwhelming. Emilie is incredibly organised, proactive and supportive. As someone who finds it hard to ask for help and outsource, she has made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. I can’t recommend Ashwood VA highly enough.

When did you last update your Google Business Profile… be honest now 😅 

If you want your photography business to be easier to find (and look legit when people Google you), a quick update is worth doing.

Have a look at your Google Business Profile and check:

👉 Is your contact info still correct?

👉 Does your description match what's on your website/socials?

👉 Are your services accurate?

👉 Are your opening times up to date?

👉 Have you filled in ALL the boxes Google gives you?

Google takes any sign of an active business as a good thing, and this is one of those things that’s easy to put off, but makes a difference once it’s up to date.

Ten minutes. Done.

Bonus point 👉 If you REALLY want to push the boat out, add quick update while you’re there. You don’t need to write anything new, copying over your last Instagram post is enough.
