Published 24 September 2026 · by Tonbridge Web Design

Quick answer: Use real photos of your Tonbridge work, team and area. Compress them, add descriptive alt text, and place a genuine image next to the first call to action.

Phone photos of real Tonbridge work outperform stock. Here is the set to shoot this week. This guide is written for businesses in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Paddock Wood and Hildenborough.

Why stock photos leak trust

Visitors in Tonbridge recognise stock immediately. a builder covering West Kent with a photo of yesterday’s job looks bookable. West Kent buyers compare Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells firms side by side.

A one-hour shot list

Front of van or premises, three finished jobs, a team portrait, a detail shot, and a photo that shows Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Paddock Wood and Hildenborough if you travel. No filters that lie about the finish.

Alt text and file size

Alt text should describe the work and town, not stuff web design Tonbridge five times. Compress before upload so Core Web Vitals survive.

Where images earn money

Hero, about, and beside the quote button. Tonbridge Web Design will place and compress them on packages from £150.

Send your photos and we will use them.
