Okay, family photographer, I need you to be honest with yourself for a second: when was the last time you checked your website for broken links? Not just a quick glance at your homepage. I mean, actually going through and making sure every single link works. Because I just discovered that my own website had over 166 sessions landing on a "page not found" error, and I'm spilling the tea on all of it in this episode. Whether you watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast player, stick around because I'm walking you through why broken links matter, showing you a completely free tool to find yours, and doing a live demo of how I'm fixing mine in real time.

Here's the backstory: I've spent the last four years separating my photography website from my systems and workflow education website. I'm a solo business owner doing it all myself, and I believe in slow, sustainable growth (and I'm willing to put in the work)! But when I checked Google Analytics and saw that "page not found" was one of my top three most visited pages? Yeah, I spiraled for about five minutes. Then I made a plan. Because that's what we do around here.

What you'll learn in this episode

• Why broken links are one of the sneakiest things quietly undoing all of your SEO work
• How broken links leak your link equity (that trail of trust between your pages)
• The completely free tool I'm using right now to find every broken link on my website
• And so much more!
