I know you want to talk about getting found on ChatGPT! But before we get into strategies for showing up in AI recommendations, I think it's really important to understand how a ChatGPT search actually works.

Because when someone asks ChatGPT to recommend a wedding venue or vendor, it's doing something pretty different from a traditional Google search.

I'm walking you through a real test search I did for wedding venues in North Carolina. We'll look at the multiple searches ChatGPT ran behind the scenes, how it decided which businesses to recommend, and what all of this means for your wedding business's AI visibility!

What I Cover:

- How couples search differently on ChatGPT compared to Google

- What actually happens behind the scenes when ChatGPT searches the web

- The concept of "query fan out" and why one ChatGPT prompt can trigger multiple searches

- What I discovered when I tested ChatGPT's recommendations for a wedding venue search

- How ChatGPT pulls together information from multiple sources to decide which businesses to recommend

I’ve had a few photographers ask me the same question recently: Should I create a separate website just for my wedding photography?

I totally understand the idea behind having a wedding-focused website, especially if you also offer commercial photography, travel photography, or other types of creative work. But from an SEO perspective, splitting your business across two websites can make things a lot harder!

I’m sharing a real client example of what happened when a photographer launched a separate wedding website, why building rankings on a new domain takes so much work, and what I recommend doing instead.

What I Cover:

- Why photographers are tempted to create separate wedding websites (I do get it!)

- What happened when one of our clients moved her wedding photography to a brand-new domain

- How having two websites can create confusion for Google, AI search tools, and potential clients

- My recommendation for showcasing multiple types of photography without starting your SEO over from scratch
