SEO RANKINGS~ Pederzani Photography Moving Up in Middle Ga!

Wedding in Macon, Ga.  

I'm a wedding photographer in Kathleen, Ga; and it's important that people can find me when they search online for a one. I'm also new to Georgia, so I'm building up my business almost from scratch, and I've also changed my business name from Simply Dorine Photography to Pederzani Photography. What ever I had built up with my former business name is now disconnected from my new domain name. Getting found in a Google search in a new state with a new name is paramount.
I am not a computer geek, wish I was! But SEO rankings, metatags, all that stuff is confusing to me. I built my site with Wix.com I find it easy to design and they're templates are nice. They're suppose to be 'search engine' friendly too, but I wouldn't know; because for all my efforts I have never gotten all green checks after using Wix's SEO Wizard. The other day I gave it another try of adjusting my, 'title' and description (H1) windows, I tweaked and tweaked until I got every  green arrow (thumbs up)  from the wizard with exception to the images not being labeled right for Google's search engine. However, for the life of me, I still can't figure out how to apply a description for the, ALT TEXT, for my images. I can't find the window at Wix that would allow me to make the necessary changes. I'll figured it out later, or perhaps some kind soul will take pity on me and show me how to do it.
As I read more articles on the subject on SEO ranking, it was repeatedly mentioned that blogging plays a major roll for improving your presence in the search engines. So in the last week I became more diligent to produce a few blogs, I had planned to anyway.  Then the next thing I did was to get my site verified with Google, Bing and Pinterest. This too has given me grief in the past, and sure enough it proved true again. I almost gave up, but I persevered and succeeded, ya! After all my efforts I did another search on Bing and came up in two of them. This I considered a miracle, because I never came up on Bing before. Now for Google I slipped down from first and second page to not coming up at all, but after today, I came up on the third and fourth page in my search. So I'm moving up and so thrilled to be I'm beside myself with giddiness, and doing the 'happy dance'.  I know everyone's thrilled for me, because when I read about your success stories, I'm happy for you. Sincerely, I'm not saying that tongue in cheek. I really mean it.
Now the most informative part, I found that impressed me, was a link mentioned in a photography forum regarding this very subject. That link allowed me to check my ranking bypassing the history built up on my own computer that could falsely place me in a higher ranking order than I really was. Here's the link I use: http://whatpageofsearchamion.com/?  It's a sure way of testing where your site comes up in searches, but only in the first ten pages, that's the total length of the search.
I know there's a science to understanding SEO, so much more than what I'm able to explain here, but remember I know very little about this topic except what I read and followed along. Everything I read, I did to my best ability. It seems to be working for me and  it should work for you as well.
So here's to higher search rankings and blogging. It's what Google likes to use to bring you out of obscurity. I hope my article is helpful and enjoyable. Ciao.
