Critical Issues

Priority: Immediate Action

#1

No Clear Call-to-Action in Bio

Your bio lists credentials but doesn't tell visitors what to DO next. This costs you 30-40% of potential inquiries.

#2

Bio Exceeds Optimal Length (154 characters)

Your bio is 4 characters over the 150 limit, forcing truncation on some devices. The extra emojis (🌟🎉) add clutter without value.

#3

Missing Link CTA

You have 4 links but bio doesn't direct attention to them with "👇" or explain what visitors will find. Most users won't discover your link-in-bio without direction.

#4

No Target Audience Identified

Bio doesn't explain WHO you serve or WHAT they get. "Nature Photographer" is generic - are you selling prints? Teaching? Offering commissions?

#5

Too Many Highlights (25)

Instagram recommends 5-10 strategic highlights. 25 creates choice paralysis and appears cluttered. Consolidate or archive older ones.

Opportunities

Priority: Quick Wins

#1

Excellent Name Field Usage

"Ken Wiele | Nature Photographer" is perfect for SEO. This helps you show up in searches for "nature photographer."

#2

Multiple Links Setup

Having 4 external links (shop, calendar, resources, demo) shows professionalism and gives visitors options. This is better than 80% of photographers.

#3

Strong Social Proof

"Award-winning" + "Featured in [Publications]" establishes credibility. Consider quantifying: "Award-winning" could be "3x Award-winning" for more impact.

#4

Business Account with Good Category

"Photographer" category is correct and gives you access to Instagram analytics and contact buttons.

#5

Location Included

"Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin" helps local discovery and positions you as a regional expert.
