Should the card come at the session or with the gallery?
With the gallery. Clients review when they see the finished photos, so delivery is the natural moment.
Wedding clients often review months later. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The card stays with the prints or album, so couples can review whenever they're ready.
We shoot on location but have a small studio. Which profile do we need?
It depends on whether clients come to you. We look at how you actually work and set up the profile Google's rules call for.
How does verification work for a photographer?
Google chooses the method. An on-location photographer usually verifies with a short video; a studio verifies like any storefront, often by video or postcard.
Can reviews mention a second shooter or assistant?
Clients can mention whoever they like. If names come up, your report shows the pattern.
Is there anything we should avoid asking customers?
Yes: never ask for a specific star rating or wording, never offer anything in return for a review, and never ask only the customers you think are happy. The card simply makes it easy for everyone to leave an honest review.
