SEO
I’ve already configured your site SEO, but remember that organic (unpaid) SEO takes time. Google loves an active site, so keep sharing, consider blogging, use the best practices listed below, and check out the guides above for more details:
Images Size: Images should be no bigger than 500KB for optimal loading speed and Google ranking. Big banner images should be 2000-2500px wide. Bulk Resize Photos is a great site for reducing image sizes while retaining quality. You can drag in a batch of images to save time.
Keywords: Using keywords will help Google know that your page is relevant. The trick is simply to think about what keywords your ideal person is Googling to find that particular page / image. You can use keywords in:
Image titles
Page titles / descriptions / URLs (Page Settings > General)
Headers
Blog: title / ‘tags’ section / url slug
SEO Site Description (Marketing > SEO)
