You Can’t Be the Best-Kept Secret in Atlanta
Event planning is booming in Atlanta — from weddings and corporate mixers to celebrity baby showers and birthday brunches. But if you’re not showing up where clients are searching, you’re just another ghost with a business card.
“You don’t get hired because you’re talented. You get hired because you’re visible.”
What Atlanta Clients Actually Search For
- “Black wedding planner Atlanta”
- “Corporate event coordinator near me”
- “Luxury party planner Atlanta GA”
- “Bridal shower planner for Buckhead venue”
They’re not asking for your name. They’re looking for a solution that looks like THEM, in a city that moves FAST.
Why Listings Work for Planners (Even More Than Instagram)
- Search Intent: People go to Google when they’re ready to buy — not just browse.
- Local SEO: Listings help you show up in the Google Map Pack and local results.
- Social Proof: Clients want reviews. They want photos. They want to know you’ve done this before — for people like them.
“Instagram shows the dream. Listings close the deal.”
