Quick answer: Use real photos of your Maidstone work, team and area. Compress them, add descriptive alt text, and place a genuine image next to the first call to action.
Phone photos of real Maidstone work outperform stock. Here is the set to shoot this week. This guide is written for businesses in Maidstone and Aylesford, Bearsted, Larkfield and the Medway towns.
Why stock photos leak trust
Visitors in Maidstone recognise stock immediately. a solicitor in the county town with a photo of yesterday’s job looks bookable. Maidstone is a county hub, so service-area pages beat one homepage.
A one-hour shot list
Front of van or premises, three finished jobs, a team portrait, a detail shot, and a photo that shows Aylesford, Bearsted, Larkfield and the Medway towns if you travel. No filters that lie about the finish.
Alt text and file size
Alt text should describe the work and town, not stuff web design Maidstone five times. Compress before upload so Core Web Vitals survive.
Where images earn money
Hero, about, and beside the quote button. Maidstone Web Design will place and compress them on packages from £150.
Send your photos and we will use them.
