Questions
About the guide
Short answers. If yours is not here, ask us on the call and we answer directly, including when the answer is no.
Do I need a professional photographer?
No. The guide is written for a current smartphone in the hands of you or someone on your team. A professional shoot is nice to have later; real photos of your real business, taken well, beat stock photos on day one. The guide's job is to make sure they are taken well.
What if we would rather not take the photos ourselves?
We send a professional photographer for a full day at your location, direct the guide's shot list so nothing is missed, and deliver the edited photos to your portal. That starts at $2,000 per location and the final price depends on where you are. Book a call and we print the number before you commit to anything.
Why not just use stock photos?
Visitors can tell. Stock photos say nothing about your business, and Google's image results and AI answers increasingly favour original images. Your own team, your own space and your own work are the proof a stranger is looking for before they call.
What phone do I need?
Any phone from the last four or five years. The guide is about habits, not gear: a clean lens, facing the light, the back camera, no zoom, held sideways, several takes. Those matter far more than the model number.
What if a customer is in the shot?
They sign the photo and video release first, every time. The guide includes a one-page release you can print. If you cannot get a signature, a team member stands in; the guide says which shots that works for.
What do I have to give you to get it?
Your name and email. The PDF goes to your inbox and opens on this page the moment you submit. We send two short follow-up emails over the following week, each with a link to stop them, and that is it.
Will you use my photos if you build the site?
Yes. Upload them to your Ziwi portal and we sort, review and place every one. The website itself is $0 to build on a 12-month plan, $1,000 for a designed template or $2,500 custom, with hosting from $99 a month. Same prices as the pricing page, no quote call.
