web sites for artists
keyword creation
Because search engines rely on text when indexing website pages it is important to make sure that the search words and phrases that people might use to find someone like you appear on your site, preferably often, and in all the right places.
Most artists consider text as an afterthought - if at all - so any improvements you make will boost your visibility.
We can advise you on how to identify the keywords for your website and how to use them. We can show you resources on the web for researching and generating keywords. We have also compiled a broad list of artist keywords that you could use as a starting point.
keyword tips
- Look for the more specific terms because the general ones will be too common: eg “painting” gets 100 times more results than “landscape painting”.
- If you have a specialty or niche concentrate on promoting that.
- Look at the keywords your peers are using in their text and in the hidden code (view the page source in your browser to see the meta tags at the top of the page).
- Brainstorm with friends to get an alternative perspective.
- Include names of relevant places, people and things.
- Use different combinations of words in phrases.
- Include plurals and hyphenations and consider alternative spellings and even misspellings.
- Do not be afraid to use quite a lot of text in parts of the site so long as it uses keywords.
