In this quick-hit solo episode, Ben Hartley and Noella Andres break down one of the most overlooked (yet incredibly powerful) tools for photographers: Google Reviews.
Whether you’re a local portrait photographer or a destination wedding pro, your reviews matter—not just for SEO, but for your reputation. This 15-minute “hot fix” episode is packed with actionable advice to help you get more glowing 5-star reviews consistently—without feeling awkward asking.
