As a photographer, your website’s “Services” page should be more than just a list of the services you offer and what a client gets when they work with you.
Instead, the copy on your website “Services” page should work as hard as you do and story-tell its way to transforming curious readers into potential clients who are eager to learn more about working with you.
Many photographers struggle to tell if their website is truly performing well. Is your website effective in converting lurkers into clients, or is it missing a spark that makes potential clients say, “I just have to work with her”?
That’s why I created a quick and fun personality-style quiz, which I’ve called “Let’s Rank Your Website ‘Services’ Page,” to help you rate how well your current “Services” page is performing and determine if you need to add a few elements to your website sales arsenal. This quiz shares valuable insights into what’s working, what could use a tweak, and additions you can make to elevate your photography website to be a true client conversion tool.
Here’s the truth: The “Services” page on your photography website shouldn’t simply be just another page to scroll. It’s the gateway to turning casual browsers into enthusiastic clients who can’t wait to work with you. This page is where your images, your creativity, and your unique offers come together to show potential clients exactly why you’re the photographer they’ve been searching for.
If your photography “Services” page is performing well, it’ll feel like a friendly high-five, a story you’re eager to read, and a heartfelt invitation to an event you can’t wait to attend, all wrapped up into one persuasive package.
But here’s the thing: even the most talented photographers can struggle to get their “Services” page just right.
Maybe the transformation or the result your clients will experience after working with you—a greater sense of ease because your client wardrobe provided every outfit for their family, or a photography session they actually enjoy because of your interactions with their children or their extended family—isn’t clear enough.
Maybe the creativity and personality that shines in your portraits isn’t paired with words that feel like you, or doesn’t share your unique approach to capturing photos in words. Or, maybe you’re relying too heavily on your photography portfolio or galleries to “speak for themselves” (something I hear all too often!).
Here’s the good news: When the copy on your “Services” page feels like you and shares what makes you uniquely positioned to serve your ideal clients, it becomes a powerful tool that guides visitors straight to your website “Contact” page, where they’re ready to book a session or ask for more details. And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do with my new website “Services” page quiz!
Before I dive in to what makes this fun, personality-style quiz for your website “Services” page helpful, I have a bit of extra credit for you: If you really want to win over clients, a general “Services” page might not be enough.
No matter your location, your price point, or your niche, photographers often benefit from creating service-specific sales pages that dive deeper into each offering. Think of these pages as a sales pitch (customized to your brand voice) that works for you on autopilot!
A service-specific sales page goes beyond just listing what you do—it speaks directly to your client’s mindset by addressing and speaking into their pain points, hesitations, and dreams before they even reach out. In this way, you’re able to have a heart-to-heart conversation that helps you address your client’s needs and present some potential results of working together before they even contact you!
Examples are always helpful for me, so let me share one for family photographers.
Instead of simply listing “Family Photography” on your general “Services” page, imagine directing your potential clients to a dedicated page that paints a picture of what it’s like to capture those beautifully chaotic, love-filled moments that preserve a family’s story and connection at a specific time.
This page would speak to a parent’s desire to document their kids’ grins and snuggles before they grow up too fast, their worries about everyone not cooperating during the shoot, and their dream of finally having those wall-worthy images that make their house feel like home.
By addressing these thoughts and emotions on a service-specific sales page, you’re not just selling a photo session—you’re offering a way for the families you serve to hold onto these fleeting moments forever.
Can you see how adding a service-specific sales page to your photography website can help your website perform better while allowing you to stand out in your industry and speak to how you uniquely serve your clients?
Now that we’ve set the stage for the purpose of both a general “Services” page and a service-specific sales page, let’s dive into how my new quiz helps you determine if you need to show your website some copywriting love!
When someone lands on your website, you want them to quickly feel like they’ve found the perfect photographer for their needs. Part of that responsibility lands on your general “Services” page, and the performance and success of your website as a whole can be multiplied by adding service-specific sales pages for each of your main offers (or client niches) to your website. That means adding one page for your family photography offers, one page for your newborn photography services, one page for brand photography, and so on.
