01 — Why

Your profile is starving.

Four photos from 2021 and a logo. That is what most trade profiles are running on, and it is quietly costing more than any keyword ever will.

Photos are not decoration on a Google profile. They are an activity signal and a conversion surface at the same time, and the numbers on them are not close.

Shot brief

Behind the scenes on a Content Day: camera in the foreground, out of focus, with a technician working sharp in the background. Warm, dark, documentary.

02 — The numbers

What photos actually do

  • 520% more phone calls for businesses with more than 100 photos on their profile, against the average business.
  • 1,065% more website clicks for those same businesses. Direction requests run 2,717% higher.
  • 35% more clicks to the website just from having photos at all.
  • 36% of local pack ranking comes from Google Business Profile signals, and freshness is one of them.

Every figure above is sourced in our own research file. We do not put a number on this site we cannot point at.

03 — How it runs

What a day produces

  • Morning

    On the job with the crew

    Real installs, real trucks, real hands. We work around the job rather than staging one, because a staged photo looks exactly like a staged photo.

  • Midday

    The shop and the team

    Portraits that do not look like a DMV queue, the shop, the vans, the bay. This is the material that sells a job and recruits a technician at the same time.

  • Afternoon

    Vertical video

    Three short pieces. A walkthrough, a before and after, and one of you talking like a person rather than a brochure.

  • After

    Cut, graded, sized, captioned

    40+ images sized for the profile with captions written, plus the site set and the video. Loaded to your profile on a schedule, not dumped in one day.

In

  • 40+ finished photographs, sized and captioned for the profile
  • Site photography: team, trucks, shop, real installs
  • 3 vertical videos cut for social and for the profile
  • Recruiting content, which is the same shoot pointed at a different audience
  • A posting schedule so the profile stays fresh for months, not one day
  • Full commercial usage. They are your photographs

Out

  • Stock photography of any kind, ever
  • Anyone in a hard hat who does not work for you
  • Drone work requiring a waiver we do not hold

04 — Questions

The ones that decide it.

Because 400+ photography clients came before this one. It is not a bolt-on service we buy in, it is the thing that was here first, and it happens to be the single highest-leverage input into a Google profile.

No, and please do not. The whole point is photographing work that was happening anyway. A staged shoot looks staged and a homeowner can tell instantly.

The Full Stack includes one Content Day per quarter. On The Kit it is an add-on. Either way you own the files.

Most of them do at first. We shoot the work more than the faces, and by lunch it stops being a thing. Nobody is asked to pose holding a wrench and smiling at the camera.

Content Days.

$1,500 per day. Twenty minutes on the phone and you will know whether it is worth doing.
