Campaign Breakdown

Performance Max Campaign

Primary Driver

The bulk of results came from a single Performance Max campaign running at just £6/day. This campaign alone generated 61 conversions.

Key Insight: Not every lead is qualified. Some are tire-kickers, some don't answer the phone, and some find the service too expensive. But even converting just 10% of these leads means 6 booked weddings per month—more than enough for a solo photographer.

Location-Based Search Campaigns

Supplemental

Additional search ad groups targeted specific London neighborhoods and location-based keywords for hyper-local targeting.

Note: Cost per lead was higher in niche areas like Marylebone, but with fewer competitors offering wedding photography there, even one booking per month makes the spend worthwhile.

Key Takeaways

01

Simple Beats Complex

This wasn't a complicated setup. One ad group per location, a Performance Max campaign, and a modest daily budget. No rocket science required.

  • Location-based ad groups
  • Single PMax campaign at £6/day
  • Standard conversion tracking
  • No advanced automation needed
02

Landing Pages Matter

The client used their existing website rather than a dedicated landing page—a common choice among wedding photographers. The site wasn't optimized for conversions, yet the campaign still performed well.

The Opportunity: Double the conversion rate with a better landing page, and you cut cost per lead in half.
03

Room to Scale

Search impression share was under 10% for some ad groups, meaning there's massive headroom to increase budget and capture more of the market.

  • Low impression share = growth potential
  • Not limited by market size
  • Can 10x budget with same efficiency
  • Competitor gap in niche areas
04

US Market Advantage

For photographers in the US, the economics are even more favorable than this London case study:

  • Cost per click is similar (or lower)
  • Wedding photography prices are higher
  • Competition levels comparable to London
  • Higher potential ROAS

The Bottom Line

Google Ads works for wedding photographers. With a focused strategy, modest budget, and proper tracking, you can generate a steady stream of qualified leads. And if you invest in a conversion-optimized landing page, those results only get better.
