I came across this article and thought it brought up some compelling reasons as to the importance of visuals in today’s digital world. The first statistic that stood out to me was articles (or blog posts) with images get 94% more views than those without. But it’s not just human eyeballs that want to see great images on your site, search engines do too. Not only do Google and Bing reportedly rank posts that include media assets (photos and videos), images also show up in image search results. So by adding custom images to your site you can increase where it appears on searches. Pretty sweet!

 If you you have an on-line store, 2/3 of consumers say the quality of a product image is “very important” in selecting and purchasing a product. My guess is that if you are selling higher priced items, that number only increases.

How are the photos on your site? Do they need an update or do you just need to get started? Give me a shout, I can help.
