Tips to Better Keyword, Title Stock Photos and Videos [Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images]

This video covers how to create keywords and titles for stock photos and footage to submit to stock photography platforms such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock, Getty Images, Alamy and others. We go over our top keywording tips and strategies that will help you maximize the discoverability and sales of your stock content. We also take an actual example of a stock image of ours and walk you through our process of how we would keyword and title it.

While we typically use Shutterstock keyword tool to find keyword ideas for our stock photography content, we highly recommend taking a look at Dropstock.io free keyword tool too. Unlike Shutterstock, Dropstock.io will show views, sales and rating for each keyword that immensely helps to decide which keyword to include. Check it out at: https://dropstock.io/tools/keyword-re...

Also, take great care in putting the most important words first in both your keywords list and title. This matters because not only do many stock photo platforms use order hierarchy to search for images, Google also indexes your photos by title. Because many people still start their buying process for stock images on Google, having a succinct title with properly ordered words by relevance is a must.

There are many other things we cover in this video such as: should you use the singular or plural form for keywords? should you use the infinitive form (eat, walk, run) or simple participle form (eating, walking, running) for verbs? should you use multi-word or one-word keywords?
