We know you want to book more weddings—which is why after you create your Paid account on WeddingWire, our Content Team will review and update your Storefront as needed in order to help your business stand out to couples and to improve your ranking across top search engines. Once our Content Team reviews and updates your Storefront (typically within 14 days of signing up), you will receive an email from the WeddingPro Content Team letting you know if any updates were made to your Storefront(s).
Common Storefront edits can include an updated business description that meets our requirements, edited photo captions, or the removal of photos that do not adhere to our guidelines.
Our Content Team may also make necessary Storefront changes at other points of your contract’s lifecycle - any changes made will be in line without our guidelines, will always be made with your best interests, and will be notified to you shortly after the changes have been made.
Below you’ll find some helpful guidelines for creating and editing your Storefront.
Important Details to Include
- Your verified business name
- Your business address
- Your website
- Note: Active business Facebook pages or active business Instagram pages are acceptable if you don’t have a business website.
- Your phone number
Your Business Description
Your description was written by our expert team of content writers with the goal of creating an engaging and informative experience while also improving conversion and boosting your SEO performance. These descriptions have been created using the information provided to our writers on your Storefront and your website, and they have been tailored to best reflect your business, your services, and your unique selling points.
Keeping our content writers’ description intact is in your best interest, but if you do need to make any edits, please do follow our Content Guidelines, which include:

Section headings should be bolded (Services Offered, Facilities and Capacity, etc.) and no other text should be bolded
- Don’t use italics, underlines, <html> styling tags or hyperlinks
