Website Bio Pages: Stop Hiding Your Face!
Excerpt:
Just over a week ago, I started offering a Free Small Business Website Analysis to my readers, and the response has been awesome thus far.

Your “About” Page will Seal the Deal or the Importance of a Well Crafted Bio

Very good. I just made a couple of changes on my own About page to make it a little more casual and friendly. The introduction on the About page really does lay the groundwork for a good guest visit.

Your “About” Page will Seal the Deal or the Importance of a Well Crafted Bio .

Remember some of the bio pages we've seen? Formal portraits, too informal portraits?
All of them tell a story. Make sure it's the story you want told!
I will say that our 'innkeepers' page is rarely viewed. It's there for the 1% of guests who want it.

Agreed. We made a point of including our pictures on our new website. Anecdotally, I would say it has impacted guest expectations favorably. It allows potential guests to tie our reviews to our pictures and our plans for the future. People arrive with a familiarity and I think that contributes a lot to their ability to settle in quickly.

People are always commenting on our candid shots and believe it or not, quite a few of our guests comment on our mini bio. They'll come in and say, "So, your husband was born over there...." He feels like a minor celebrity!

I only fit in pictures in landscape mode.
I have to admit that my facebook picture is quite handsome. Of course only those who have seen it will get that joke.

See I am a bit wary of this as we are a younger couple 32 and 29 respectively - I worry as I get enough people who can't believe I am the owner or can possibly manage etc without putting them off already -
What do people think?

That's been your experience so I wouldn't put a photo, but a blurb about your 10+ years of experience in hospitality and maybe some interests you have outside the biz would work. Something personal.

Could try dressing up in some historical clothing for a sepia-toned photo -- make yourselves look "old" in a fun kind of way....

Or maybe a nice photo would invite great guests! Old fogy sour puss looking hosts would put me off! Not the opposite.
I think NOT sharing is a huge mistake. I will say it again and again, so I better shut up now. I
