Can I run live ads today?

You can build everything today with a free account: your photo library, landing page and campaigns. Live Google campaigns are opening to founding studios first, so join the early-access list and we'll set you up personally. The first 50 founding studios get their first 3 months free and a personal setup call.

What does it cost in total?

Your plan (from $49 a month) plus the daily ad budget you choose, which is spent on Google. We add a 10% management fee to each ad-budget top-up, and it's shown before you pay. The calculator on this page adds up a full month.

Is this really geofencing?

Google calls it radius targeting. Each pin is a circle of at least 1 km around a venue, shop or expo, and we show ads to people who are in or regularly in that area. We combine it with Google's engaged-couple audiences, so you reach people planning a wedding near the places you shoot.

Do I need a Google Ads account?

No. ShutterReach creates and manages an ad account for your studio under our manager account. You see every dollar of spend and every inquiry it produces.

How much should I spend?

Most photographers start between $10 and $30 a day, and spend more during proposal season (Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day). You prepay your ad budget and can pause anytime.

How soon will I see inquiries?

Ads start showing once Google approves them, usually within a business day, and delivery builds over the first week. Cost per inquiry settles after a few weeks of data. Results depend on your area, season and photos, so we show you real numbers instead of promising them.

No. Plans are month to month, you can pause campaigns anytime, and you can cancel from the billing page.

What if it's not for me?

Not happy in your first 30 days? We'll refund your plan fee. Ad budget that has already run on Google can't be refunded, and any unused wallet balance is refundable when you close your account.

Who owns my photos and inquiries?

You do. Export your inquiries as a spreadsheet whenever you like, and ask us to delete your account and data at any time.

Can I use photos of my clients in ads?

Only with their permission. Send a one-click photo-release request from your library, or record that your client contract already covers advertising use. Photos without consent never reach an ad.

Does it work outside big cities?

Yes. Google needs enough people in an area to show ads, so in small towns pin a few more places or widen the radius. The campaign planner tells you when an area is too small for your budget.

No. Every plan includes a landing page built from your photos, with an inquiry form. It lives at a ShutterReach address, or on your own domain with the Studio plan.

I already pay for a directory listing. Why add this?

Directories show you in a list next to your competitors. These ads show only your work, to couples near the venues you choose, and tell you what each inquiry cost, so you can compare the two side by side.
