Local Campaigns: Focus on "[your city/region] photographer" terms.

Highly Targeted Landing Pages: Ensure your ads lead to a specific page on your website relevant to the ad's content.
Facebook/Instagram Ads:

Retargeting: Show ads to people who visited your website or interacted with your social media but didn't inquire.
Lead Generation Ads: Use Facebook's native lead forms for easy contact capture.
Online Directories & Marketplaces:

Photography-Specific Directories: List your services on platforms like Fearless Photographers (for weddings), The Knot, WeddingWire (for weddings), or local business directories.
Thumbtack, Bark, Upwork: These platforms allow clients to post project requests, and you can bid on them. Be mindful of competition and pricing.
III. Relationship-Based & Networking Strategies:

Referral Programs:

Past Clients: Encourage satisfied clients to refer new business. Offer incentives (e.g., a discount on future sessions, a free print).
Complementary Businesses: Build strong relationships with:
Wedding: Wedding planners, florists, makeup artists, hair stylists, venues, caterers, dress shops.
Portrait: Hair salons, makeup artists, boutiques, personal stylists.
Commercial: Marketing agencies, web designers, graphic designers, printing companies.
Event: Event planners, caterers, venues, entertainment providers.
Network with Other Photographers: Collaborate, second-shoot for each other, and refer clients when you're booked or a project isn't your niche.
Community Engagement:

Local Events: Offer to photograph local charity events, school functions, or community gatherings (sometimes for free or a reduced rate) to gain exposure and network.
Local Business Associations: Join your local Chamber of Commerce or other business networking groups.
Workshops/Meetups: Host free mini-workshops on phone photography tips, or organize local photo walks.
Online Networking:

Facebook Groups: Join local community groups and relevant photography or business groups. Share valuable tips and engage in discussions (don't just self-promote).
LinkedIn: For commercial photographers, connect with businesses, marketers, and HR professionals in your area.
IV. Conversion & Follow-Up:

Rapid Response Time: When a lead inquires, respond quickly and professionally. The faster you respond, the higher your conversion rate.
Discovery Call/Consultation: Offer a free consultation to understand their needs, discuss your services, and build rapport.
Personalized Proposals: Don't just send a generic price list. Create a customized proposal that outlines the services, pricing, and how you'll meet their specific needs.
CRM/Lead Management System: Use a system to track leads, follow up, and manage client communications (e.g., HoneyBook, Dubsado, Tave, or even a simple spreadsheet).
Post-Session Nurturing: Even after a session, stay in touch. Send holiday greetings, offer mini-sessions, or share promotions. This encourages repeat business and referrals.
By consistently applying these strategies, showcasing your unique artistic vision, and providing exceptional client experiences, you can generate a steady stream of photography leads and grow your business.
