Using Stock Images
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” – Ansel Adams
What is a Stock Image?
A stock image is a professionally captured photograph or illustration for public use. These images are pre-shot and not commissioned for specific projects. They can be used in marketing, advertising, websites, and other media, often to save time and costs on custom photography.
Quality
We use stock images to access high-quality visuals that instantly catch the eye.
Professionalism
Using well-composed and edited images gives a website a more polished feel.
Make a Statement!
Imagery has always been pivotal in creating an engaging user experience and establishing a professional brand presence. Search It Local’s websites can help make a massive difference to your business when completed with engaging text, optimised SEO, and user-friendly applications. And when stock images are included… well, you’ll see for yourself.
Remember, stock images present more than your work; they offer potential. They give visitors to your site the opportunity to visualise and engage.
Time on Page
The time on page measures the duration between when a user arrives on a webpage and when they navigate to a different page. If the user doesn’t click through to another page, their time isn’t recorded or included in the average, essentially making it as if the visit didn’t occur.
Search It Local can help improve Time on Page by implementing the following:
- Proven SEO Strategies
- Engaging Content
- Strong Internal Links
- Clear, Precise Graphics
- Optimisation for Mobile Devices
Poorly constructed websites are immediately disadvantageous. High-quality imagery is imperative for engaging visitors from the start. Our services work in tandem to present outstanding results.
Our Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Did You Know?
Potential clients decide about your business in approximately 15 seconds. They may read the first paragraph; they may not. However, they will see the imagery, so the home page images must be professional and engaging. Snaps from your mobile phone don’t pack the same punch as those taken by a professional photographer, as they may be too dark or of poor quality.
Website Gallery
Search It Local encourages clients to include a website gallery for photos captured during previous projects. Visitors to your new website can see you and your team at work at various intervals, along with images of the finished results.
The benefits of establishing a website gallery include:
- An Enhanced User Experience
- Regularly Showcasing Your Work
- Promotion of Credibility and Trust
