Keywords and title

Hello Adobe Community,

I need your help! I’m looking for the best strategies to create effective titles and keywords for my stock photos.

My main goals are:

1. To improve the ranking of my photos.

2. To increase sales.

Are there any tips, guidelines, or methods I can follow to achieve better results? If you have any experience or suggestions, please share them.

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Titles DO affect search; this change was made by Adobe some years ago. Previously titles weren't searchable, but now they are.

In addition to reading all of the Adobe Stock help pages as suggested by @RALPH_L  go to YouTube and watch the keywording tutorials by Mat Hayward.

Sometimes I see images selling good with a short caption and only a few keywords - and and sometimes the opposite. So there is no clear answer to that question. Unless you have exceptionally good images or highly sought after images, what matters is the quantity of images.

You can't actually see the keywords on someone else's images, so it's possible that, even with a short title, the top 10 keywords are descriptive enough for the assets to be found by buyers.
