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 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.

  1. 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.

  2. A negative keyword list built for a studio

    Blocks on course, institute, job, camera price, freelancer rate and editing software searches, extended from the search terms report.

    Result: The clicks you pay for want to hire you.

  3. 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.

  4. Budget moved as the calendar fills

    Spend reviewed against the booking sheet and shifted to the months and shoot types with space left.

    Result: You stop paying for dates you cannot serve.

  5. 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, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches to bid on and block

The searches from a couple or a brand choosing a studio, and the ones from people who want to learn the craft.

Wedding photographer, candid or cinematic, plus the city
Bid, ahead of your season. A couple typing this is shortlisting. Show one real wedding in the advert and the dates you still have, and ask the wedding date and venue city on the form.
Pre-wedding shoot and engagement photography
Bid. Often booked earlier than the main event and by the same couple. Land on a page of recent shoots with the locations you travel to, and ask the date they have in mind.
Product photography and catalogue shoot for sellers
Bid, on its own campaign. A seller wants a batch of images shot. Ask the product count and whether they need white background or lifestyle, and show a sample set.
Photography course, camera price, jobs and free photos
Block. Add course, classes, camera, lens, price, job, assistant, free and stock as negatives. Learners and buyers of equipment type the same words.
Where the click lands
Send it to a page of finished work in the style searched, such as candid weddings, with the cities you cover and a form asking date, venue and event. A couple wants to see the work before talking.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a message that gives an event date and a city, or a call about a date you can take. Log whether the date was open and which ones paid an advance, so you see which searches bring bookings.

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 report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
What happens to our campaigns once the calendar fills up?
They get moved rather than switched off. Spend goes to the shoot types and months that still have room, which for most studios is commercial work and the off-season. Switching everything off means starting cold when the next season opens.
Instagram or Google for a studio?
Both, doing different jobs. Instagram puts the work in front of people who were not searching, which suits weddings and pre-wedding shoots. Google catches the company that already knows it needs a product shoot this month.
Should we advertise with a package price in the advert?
Only if your packages are fixed. Otherwise a price draws people who compare numbers, not styles. Say what a package includes and send the click to a page that explains the options, and discuss the quote after the date and venue are known.
When the calendar is full for a season, what should the campaign do?
Pause or narrow it for those dates, and keep a small campaign for off-season shoots such as pre-wedding, product or corporate work. Do not pay for clicks you will turn away. Review the open dates before you review the budget.
Do we need ads before the wedding season?
Yes, if the good dates are already filling up for competitors. Ads bring enquiries fast; the portfolio and reviews are what convert them once they arrive.
How long before we rank for wedding photography in our city?
It takes sustained work on a sound site, because the search is competitive in most cities. The Google Business Profile and reviews usually move faster, and we track both against your baseline.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
