(And Your Competition Is Living In Your Dream Couples’ Search Results)

Ok bestie, we need to talk about why you’re not showing up when couples search “wedding venues near me” at 1am. And no, adding more wedding hashtags isn’t going to fix it.

The Search Result Reality Check

Your venue shows up:

  • On page 4 of Google
  • Below that venue that closed last year
  • After three wedding blogs
  • Under your competitors’ ads
  • Nowhere in the local pack

Meanwhile, your competition is:

  • Dominating local searches
  • Showing up in map results
  • Ranking for key terms
  • Capturing featured snippets
  • Actually getting found

Your Current “Strategy” Isn’t It

Let’s be real about what you’re doing:

  • Random blog posts from 2021
  • Keyword stuffing (we see you)
  • Ignoring local SEO
  • Skipping meta descriptions
  • Hoping Google notices you

What Modern SEO Actually Looks Like

  1. Local Domination:
    • Google Business Profile optimization
    • Local content strategy
    • Review management
    • Citation building
    • Map pack presence
  2. Technical Excellence:
    • Mobile-first design
    • Lightning-fast loading
    • Schema markup
    • Core Web Vitals
    • Clean site structure
  3. Content That Converts:
    • Strategic keyword targeting
    • Location-based pages
    • Fresh, relevant content
    • Rich media optimization
    • User experience focus

The Tea About Your Competition

While you’re:

  • Posting random blogs
  • Ignoring your Google Business Profile
  • Using outdated keywords
  • Wondering why you’re invisible
  • Trying to DIY your SEO

They’re:

  • Showing up everywhere
  • Capturing midnight searches
  • Ranking for money terms
  • Building backlink authority
  • Actually booking couples

The Bottom Line

Your venue is a vibe. Your SEO? Not so much.
