Effectively marketing the art of photography on the internet can be challenging, especially with so much local competition. It is no longer a race to get as many eyes on your craft, it’s about getting the right eyes on your craft. With new algorithms introduced by Google at the end of February, there is even more emphasis on local search and mobile devices.

Sean McVeigh of 425 Media will explain how  small a taste of free quality content  within your Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Twitter social media platforms can increase your audience. New algorithms introduced by Google last month have quietly changed search rankings bringing the search giant even closer towards real-time local search.
