Real search behaviour for wedding photographers around Berkeley clusters around phrasings like:
Those are query shapes, not volume claims — the point is that each one implies a different page. A single generic page cannot answer all three, which is why we build the structure around them rather than stuffing Berkeley into a title tag.
We build wedding photographer sites around complete real weddings, date availability, and package pricing, because that is the deciding factor for couples — and we make sure it is reachable in one tap.
