Instagram SEO Update | What It Means for Your Business & Reach
Recently I shared information regarding Instagram platform and how it can help you….and today is a huge day for anyone that runs a business and has a IG handle! Read on to these updates. But first watch the video so you have a foundation to what I’ll share next!
Instagram has rolled out major SEO-focused updates that transform the platform into a powerful search engine—both within the app and across the web.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and how to adapt:
🔍 1. Google Indexing Begins (July 10, 2025)
Public business & creator accounts (18+) will now have their posts, Reels, carousels, and videos indexed by Google—and other search engines.
Stories remain private, and users can opt out via account settings or switch to private/personal accounts.
Why this matters: Content visibility extends beyond Instagram, living longer and boosting organic traffic and brand exposure.
🧠 2. In‑App Search Gets Smarter
Instagram is improving its own search algorithm: plans include better indexing of comments—important context that enhances relevance.
Search signals now include text in usernames, bios, captions, hashtags, alt text, and user behavior such as likes, saves, shares, and DMs.
Resond to your DM’s and comments, engagement is vital & it’s fun!
⚙️ 3. SEO Best Practices for Instagram
Use clear, searchable keywords naturally in your username, name field, bio, captions, and alt text including your city.
Limit hashtags: 3–5 targeted tags is better than mass spam; keyword‑rich captions now out‑shine bulk tagging strategies.
Optimize alt text for accessibility and SEO—Instagram reads this too.
Subtitles in Reels & Captions matter—contextual text both inside and outside Instagram boosts discoverability. Captions are very important as most people don’t watch with the sound on.
Consistent niche and style help the algorithm understand and categorize your content effectively .
4. Think “Search Everywhere” Strategy
This isn’t just Instagram. It’s about syncing search behavior across Google, TikTok, YouTube, and other content platforms .
Brands are now blending SEO & social (a “SEOcial” strategy) that leverages caption keywords, alt text, carousels, video filenames, and more.
New IG Updates since This Video
Trial Reels are a huge level up. Here is a snippet of how and why they can help you!
Music - trending audio and music is merged and MUCH easier to apply and figure out.
BIO - you can add up to six lines now, yay!
LINKS - you can add up to 5 now, yippee
✅ SEO Checklist for Instagram
Include relevant keywords in username, name field, and bioPosts.
Authentic keywords in captions, alt text, and on‑screen text/subtitles.
Hashtags: Use 3–5 specific, strategic tags
Media: Use video subtitles and descriptive file names for Reels
Engagement: Encourage shares, saves, comments, and follow‑up content
Consistency: Post in your niche and maintain a clear content voice and style
🎯 Why It Matters Now
Before July 10, your content lived within Instagram’s walls; starting then, it also lives on the public web via Google.
Your Instagram presence is now a dual-channel SEO asset: visibility both inside the app and across the internet.
Ignoring these SEO tactics means missing out on extended reach, prolonged content life, and new audiences.

SHILOH PLACE GROUNDBREAKING | WHY HIRE FOR NON PROFITS
Hiring professional photography for a nonprofit event can really elevate the impact of the event in several ways:
High-Quality Imagery: Professional photographers have the right equipment and skills to capture high-quality images that can be used for marketing materials, social media, and future campaigns. Amateur photos often lack the necessary sharpness, lighting, and composition to make a lasting impression.
Brand Consistency: Nonprofits often have specific visual guidelines to maintain a consistent brand image. A professional photographer understands how to align their work with these standards, making sure the photos reflect the organization’s values, mission, and overall aesthetic.
Capturing Key Moments: Professionals know how to anticipate and capture important moments that may be easily overlooked by an untrained eye—like candid interactions, speeches, or subtle details that highlight the essence of the event. These photos help tell the story of the event effectively.
Enhanced Storytelling: Nonprofit events often have a deeper emotional connection with their audiences. A professional photographer knows how to capture those powerful moments that convey the mission and impact of the organization, helping tell a compelling story to donors, volunteers, and supporters.
Social Media & PR: High-quality photos can be used across various media platforms—websites, social media, newsletters, and press releases. Good visuals are more likely to be shared and can increase engagement, boosting the nonprofit’s visibility and reach.
Time-Saving: A professional photographer can focus on the job at hand while you and your team can focus on the event itself. You won’t need to worry about taking good pictures while managing everything else.
Documenting Impact: Nonprofits often need images for grant proposals, reports, or promotional materials. Having professionally taken photos ensures that the moments that highlight the nonprofit’s work can be used effectively for future fundraising and advocacy.
In short, hiring a professional photographer ensures that the event’s story is told in the best way possible, helping to raise awareness, build relationships, and create lasting memories for everyone involved.
Does your nonprofit have any upcoming events that could benefit from this?
3 Tips for Working with a Therapist | Approachability + Professionalism
We had the best time at this session working for the Nourished Should Center for Healing!! Working with talented and kind people never gets old to me and then you add food!? When Cherie reached out last fall, I was honored. I hadn’t ever thought a food therapist but after chatting, I realized a lot of our thoughts and opinions about food, comes from our childhood and lifestyle. This was opening for sure!!
Here are a few tips:
Think beyond your face. Include the tools you use every day—journals, affirmation cards, food journals, or even books that inspire your work. These elements give your audience a deeper understanding of how you support them.
Some of the most powerful photos come from authentic interactions—walking through your space, journaling, or sitting in quiet reflection. Capture your personality in motion and moments of genuine emotion. Let your audience see the calm confidence you bring into every session.
A branding session with a food therapist is about creating imagery that reflects trust, safety, and transformation. Whether you're launching a new website or refreshing your social media, these photos should communicate who you are before you even say a word.
4. Highlight the soft details: plants, books, comfortable chairs, warm lighting, and even a mug of tea. These details give your audience a sense of the calm and safety they’ll feel when working with you.
Like any session, authenticity trumps all!! SO grab some poses and props that make sense and start photographing these talented and lovely people! Therapists are often great people!!
4 Tips for Photographing on a Construction Site | GLOBIWAFERS PLANT | SHERMAN TX
Capturing high-quality photographs at a construction site requires careful planning and attention to detail. Here are a few essential tips to help you achieve the best results:
1. Prioritize Safety First
Before anything else, wear proper PPE (hard hat, vest, boots) and be aware of site rules. Stay out of restricted zones unless cleared, and keep an eye on heavy machinery and workers at all times. The project manager directed me each step.
✅ Pro tip: Talk to the site manager ahead of time to understand hazards and get clearance for specific areas. This didn’t directly apply to me as I was in their care every step.
2. Shoot with Flash whenever Possible
If possible, plan for terrible available light— the correct off camera flash lighting adds warmth, depth, and drama to the metal, concrete, and dust of a construction site.
🌅 Creating the correct light looks amazing bouncing off steel beams and scaffolding—less harsh shadows too!
3. Pay Attention to Composition
Each photo should have a clear subject. Ensure that the primary focus, whether it's a specific structure, piece of equipment, or worker, is prominently featured. Be mindful of the background to avoid distractions and aim for a balanced composition that draws attention to the subject.
4. Last but not Least, BE ready to direct.
People who work anywhere but photography will be thankful for direction and specifics. If something is in the way, please move it. If you see what would be best, do it!
BEHIND THE SCENES | When I was walking around, I wanted to snap a few of the the amazing people welding, and servicing the building. The space was impressive and the workers were as well!

How To Series #6 | Create a Media Badge
MEDIA BADGES + TRAVEL | Let’s talk about it. traveling with gear can be a hassle, but with a media badge it’s doable. Here’s a few reasons why I finally did a DIY media badge and how you can too!
PROS for media badge:
Less Cost overall. There are weight restrictions and this helps you either get your bag checked for free (not much longer through SWA) or at the regular rate which is huge. They can charge you a lot for weight, which I don’t blame them!
You can add your own credentials - your logo, your name, your business.
It’s accepted everywhere. The legacy airlines all respect the federal rules which is great!
CONS for media bagde:
You have to have it on you, or so I have. One time I forget the badge and she accepted the digital version so who knows.
That’s about it. There are no other cons:)
Here is your link to create your own badge! I edited the file in Adobe Photoshop and printed through a site I cannot find once I tried, agh! But there are a few to choose from!
Also, the man that just sat next to me in the terminal has on too much cologne so that’s an issue. If I pass out, you’ll know why:)
