Missing H1 tags, no 301 redirects, no sitemap control. Pixieset wasn't built for photographers who want to rank on Google.
“They basically laughed when I asked about 301 redirects.”
Pixieset galleries and websites lack basic SEO fundamentals. No 301 redirects mean lost link equity when changing URLs. H1 tags are misused or missing. No structured data support.

301 redirects: Pixieset confirmed they won't add this
No. Pixieset does not support 301 redirects. If you change a gallery URL or page URL, the old link breaks completely. This means any SEO equity you built with that URL is lost, and visitors get a 404 error.
Pixieset galleries have limited SEO capability. They lack proper H1 tags, structured data, and sitemap support. While galleries can be indexed, they rarely rank well because of missing technical SEO foundations.
Yes. 12img photographer profiles and gallery pages include proper heading hierarchy, schema markup, Open Graph tags, automatic sitemap inclusion, and custom meta descriptions. Every public page is built for search visibility.
