Can you brand your name along with your product on Google in a geographic context? Yes you can!
A while back, in June, I decided to shift my focus to branding my name and associating it with my products. The name part was pretty quick- I have one of those less common last names so Dave Keys got to a place of domination with relatively moderate effort. What surprised me today is that I achieved page one of Google for a much broader and more competitive search term: Orange County Photography.
I'm not by any means the best or even the 10th or 20th... best photographer in Orange County. I only do photography as an occasional gig. But I do know how to optimize my websites.
Now as to the much greater challenge, Orange County Web Design. I'm buried deeper than I like to admit but the photography placement which will likely bounce around for a while is encouraging.
Oh yeah, here's the proof/evidence.
In my ramp-up to a July 9th trip to the Grand Canyon, a guided tour with geology professors, I'm climbing one of the hills here in Murrieta. I have to do all I can to be ready for those hikes at 8,000 feet!
Our trip will be on the cooler north side of the canyon. I've never seen it before except from the air. It only took 51 years!

I had been tossing the option of more verbose permalinks in my wordpress blogs because custom permalinks are supposed to index better in Google than Default ones.
What's all this?
If you're a Wordpress user, you'll know about the admin panel. This is a feature found in Settings. Permalinks options control how links to your posts are constructed.
All that said, once I made the change, I first realized that Twitter converted those links to tiny urls. Oops! No backlink value there!
Back to the control panel and reset my permalinks but Google choked on all the changes and simply stopped indexing my posts. Now it's re-processing the sitemap and I wait.

My niece in Northern CA. The tones and emotion are better in this Black and White than in the color version but I still needed to make minor adjustments in the various curves in Photoshop.
After several years of using increasingly better Digital SLR Cameras, I'm still scratching the surface as far as skill and technique are concerned, but I enjoy the learning highly.
Be sure to visit some of my sites to see samples of my photography.
