You have a nice variety of models, but your lighting is terribly inconsistent and the "shoulders up-cut off the top of the head" composition is likely not as useful as a wider shot. And the majority of the ones I've looked at seem to not be doing anything interesting just looking at camera.

Your keywords need serious attention - nothing will ever be found if you're missing important keywords.
Examples: this man taking a selfie (https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/selfy-european-person-722572000) has only 9 keywords, none of which is "man"; this "career female" (https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/career-female-wearing-white-dress-716107135) only has 7, not including girl or woman. As an aside, this is not office attire and the look is more party-time than work - probably should target the keywords that way. This group of three girls (https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/school-kids-wearing-uniforms-706181983) doesn't have "girl" or anything indicating it's a group.

Are you coming Back to thank folks?? read again what sean said. also don't shoot people vertically your closing them off to be used differently if needed. shot horizontal This is stock. a Buyer will then have the ability to use what they want and add copy space. doing vertical Locks the use In. Horizontal lets the Buyer decide. anyone can make a vert from Horizontal not the other way. think My friend. and Get a Posing Guide. these are almost snapshots.You can do better.
