Keywords and title

[abdullah3517833702yp]

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!

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.

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.

Hi,

I totally understand your goals. Ranking and sales mostly depend on how accurate and buyer-focused your metadata is.

I’ve been a contributor myself for years, and recently I started using CyberStock.lol. It creates titles and keywords that actually sell, based on real buyer search data (around 50 million queries from across major stock platforms), plus insights from SEMrush and Google Trends.

It processes each file in about one second, supports multiple platforms, and even lets you embed metadata directly into your photos.

You can try it for free with 20 credits here: https://cyberstock.lol

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Yes, the first 10 keywords are the most important, and Adobe gives them higher weight for visibility and ranking. Titles don’t directly affect search, but they still help with buyer engagement and click-through rate.

I’ve been testing CyberStock.lol, which generates keywords and titles that actually sell, based on over 50 million real buyer searches, plus SEMrush and Google Trends data.

It also shows how to structure your first 10 keywords for the best visibility.

Hope that helps.

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