Quick answer: Use real photos of your Godstone work, team and area. Compress them, add descriptive alt text, and place a genuine image next to the first call to action.
Phone photos of real Godstone work outperform stock. Here is the set to shoot this week. This guide is written for businesses in Godstone and Caterham, Oxted, Redhill and Bletchingley.
Why stock photos leak trust
Visitors in Godstone recognise stock immediately. a landscaper covering the Surrey Hills with a photo of yesterday’s job looks bookable. Village searches are low-volume but high-intent.
A one-hour shot list
Front of van or premises, three finished jobs, a team portrait, a detail shot, and a photo that shows Caterham, Oxted, Redhill and Bletchingley if you travel. No filters that lie about the finish.
Alt text and file size
Alt text should describe the work and town, not stuff web design Godstone five times. Compress before upload so Core Web Vitals survive.
Where images earn money
Hero, about, and beside the quote button. Godstone Web Design will place and compress them on packages from £150.
Send your photos and we will use them.
