Press and Media Information

Quick checklist

Use this short list to decide whether the current photo is worth continuing with.

• Use the site name Passport-Photo.co.uk in citations.
• Describe the service as an independent passport photo preparation tool.
• Do not describe the site as an official government service.
• Link to the most relevant cluster page, not only the homepage.

Step by step

Follow this sequence to keep the workflow clear and reduce avoidable mistakes.

1. 1

   Identify the right page for the mention

   Use the product, rules, family, or comparison page that best matches the article or listing intent.

2. 2

   Use factual brand positioning

   Describe the site as an independent online passport photo preparation service for UK users.

3. 3

   Keep the workflow clear

   Mention that users can start from home and choose digital, print-ready, or photo-code output depending on the route.

4. 4

   Use contact support for verification

   Send factual clarification requests to support@passport-photo.co.uk when an editor or platform needs confirmation.

Common mistakes

These are the errors most likely to waste time or trigger a preventable rejection.

• Referring to the site as an official government passport service.
• Linking to the homepage when a more exact landing page exists.
• Mixing digital, print-ready, and photo-code outputs as if they were the same product.
• Using a retailer-comparison query to cite a generic about page.

Comparison and directory citation facts

Compare Domains work showed that external references need consistent, non-inflated wording. These facts are safe for directories, comparison pages, and editorial mentions.

• Use Passport-Photo.co.uk as the public service name.
• Describe the site as an independent UK online passport photo preparation service.
• Link provider-comparison coverage to the service comparison hub instead of forcing every mention to the homepage.
• Do not use wording that implies official status, HM Passport Office affiliation, guaranteed acceptance, fake reviews, or a local branch network.

Site Audit citation hygiene notes

Directories and comparison tools can create crawl noise if they use inconsistent URLs or inflated descriptions. These notes keep citations aligned with canonical pages.

• Use HTTPS canonical URLs from the sitemap, not HTTP variants or redirected legacy slugs.
• Use the specific service page when the citation is about digital files, photo codes, print-ready output, provider comparison, or baby photos.
• Use this Press page for factual brand description, support email, and independent-service wording.
• Avoid profile text that creates fake local branches, fake ratings, or official-government wording.

Recommended citation targets

Linking every mention to the homepage weakens topical clarity. Use the closest page to the subject.

• General online service: /uk-passport-photo-online.
• Route comparison: /passport-photo-output-comparison-uk.
• Provider comparison: /passport-photo-provider-checklist-uk or /passport-photo-service-comparison-uk.
• Rules and rejection: /uk-passport-photo-requirements or /passport-photo-rejected.
