Questions, answered.
Everything photographers ask before they apply. If yours is missing, email hello@alwaysrecommended.com and a human answers.
Who is this for?
Photographers who are already good at the work and want more inquiries from people searching in their city. Most of our clients charge $3,000 or more per booking and have years of shoots behind them. If you are brand new, this is probably too early for you.
How fast will I see results?
Technical fixes can move things within 30 to 60 days. The strong results usually show up in months 3 to 6, once guides, case studies, and reviews stack up. That is why the minimum term is six months.
Do you guarantee a number one spot on Google?
No, and nobody honest does. Google and AI tools decide their own answers. We guarantee the work, the monthly pace, and that we never help a competitor in your city. That combination is what makes you the likely answer.
What do I have to do each month?
About an hour. You answer questions about recent shoots and clients so we can write real case studies and guides. We handle everything else.
What if my city is already taken?
Then we tell you and we do not take your money. You can protect a different service in the same city, or the same service in a nearby market. If neither works, we say so.
Do you work outside the US?
Yes, if enough people in your market search for photographers online. We check that during the apply step, before you commit to anything.
I already pay an SEO agency. Does this clash?
Sometimes. If they write generic blog posts, we replace that work. If they run your ads or maintain your site, we can work alongside them. We sort this out on the first call.
What happens after six months?
You choose. Keep the full program at $1,750 a month, or move to the $750 maintenance plan that protects your rankings, keeps your reviews managed, and refreshes your content each quarter.
What does one photographer per city actually mean?
While you are a client, we will not sell search help to another business whose main service matches yours in your protected area. Your contract names the exact service and the exact cities. If we ever break that, you can cancel on the spot and we refund your last month.
Why photographers only?
Because focus wins. Every guide, template, and pitch we write is built for photography clients. We know the searches, the venues, the seasons, and what makes someone book.
What do AI tools have to do with hiring a photographer?
More people now ask ChatGPT and similar tools who to hire instead of scrolling through Google. Those tools read the same public information Google does: your website, your reviews, and mentions of you on other sites. We build that proof so both Google and the AI tools point at you.
