Critical Issues

Priority: Immediate Action

Biography lacks keyword optimization

Missing key phrases like "landscape" or "nature" that would enhance discoverability.

Highlight overload

20 highlights are too many, making it difficult for viewers to navigate and find relevant content.

Opportunities

Add specific CTAs in bio

Encourage actions such as "Visit portfolio" or "Book a session" to increase engagement.

Streamline highlights

Reducing to 5-10 key categories will enhance navigation and showcase essential information more effectively.
