Working Northampton as a photographer
The photographer customers in Northampton are split roughly in half between long-term residents who already have someone they trust and newer residents (or younger ones) who Google for everything. The newer half is who you want, and Google is the only way to reach them.
In Northampton, the catchment for photographers includes Far Cotton, Moulton, Ecton Brook, and the wider NN area. Calls for event coverage and wedding photography availability make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
In Northampton, the photographers who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for photographer services in Northampton. We get your photographer listing into that group. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For photographers in Northampton, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real photographer jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches photographers customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a photographer, you already know the bread and butter: event coverage and wedding photography availability, with corporate headshots when the season turns. Engaged couples, businesses needing headshots, families wanting portraits, which means photographers need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Photographers Lose Calls Around Here
Photographers in Northampton get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The photographer listings ranking above them in Northampton have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Word of mouth still works, but it's slower than it used to be. The fastest-growing local businesses are the ones combining word of mouth with showing up on Google. Owners who rely on referrals alone are going backwards.
Real Clients We Already Run
For photographers working Northampton (especially around Moulton and Kingsthorpe), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns photographer owners about. Most photographers in Northampton are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.
Next Step: A Free Audit
Honest framing: the audit is free because it costs us about 30 minutes of automated checks plus 10 minutes of a real human looking at the results. We do that because most owners don't trust marketing pitches anymore (rightly), and a real audit is the only way to start a useful conversation.
The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.
Review Automation
The reviews bit is fully automated: a text goes out after each job with a direct link to your Google review page. Customers tap once and they are typing the review. About one in three actually leaves one, which is roughly five times the industry average.
What It Costs
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after three months.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
