Photography and videography studios · Pay per click advertising
Advertise for the shoot types your calendar is short of.
Paid advertising for a studio buys enquiries in weeks instead of seasons, which matters when the good dates on next winter's calendar are already going. GullySales runs search and social campaigns by shoot type, keeps the student and job traffic out of them, and measures the spend against dates booked rather than clicks.
What pay per click advertising means
Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend daily against enquiries received.

For photography and videography studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Half the people clicking want to become a photographer”
Searches about photography courses, camera prices and studio jobs sit right beside the ones that book a shoot. Those terms get blocked in the first week or they take the budget.
“Corporate and product clicks cost less and close faster”
A brand needing catalogue shots decides in days, on turnaround and on work in the same category. The wedding keyword is the expensive one and it takes months to convert.
“Stop advertising a date you cannot take”
Once the November weekends are gone, a wedding advert spends money on enquiries you will turn away. Move it to pre-wedding shoots, corporate work or the months still open.
What we do
What we deliver for photography and videography studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Campaigns split by shoot type
Wedding, pre-wedding, corporate event and product campaigns kept apart, each with its own budget, wording and landing page.
Result: One kind of work cannot spend another's money.
A negative keyword list built for a studio
Blocks on course, institute, job, camera price, freelancer rate and editing software searches, extended every week from the search terms report.
Result: The clicks you pay for want to hire you.
Landing pages carrying work and a starting figure
A page per campaign with recent frames from that kind of shoot, a from price, the delivery promise and a WhatsApp button.
Result: A click becomes an enquiry with a date attached.
Budget moved as the calendar fills
Spend reviewed against the booking sheet each month and shifted to the months and shoot types with space left.
Result: You stop paying for dates you cannot serve.
Spend measured against advances taken
Every advertising enquiry traced through the quote to the advance, so cost is read per booked shoot rather than per click.
Result: You know what an advertised booking really cost.
How the result is measured
- Cost per click
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries from paid search
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
