What the phone looks like for a London photography studio
London and the wider Greater London has a population of around 9.7 million, built on professional services, hospitality and an enormous base of independent trades serving them. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a photography studio working across the City, Camden and Croydon most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A couple checking your date will ring the next photographer within the hour if nobody picks up.
Callwise answers on your own 020 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

London photography studios ask us
Do we keep our 020 number?
Yes. Your existing 020 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how London customers reach you changes.
Do you work with photography studios outside London?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so London and everywhere across Greater London is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
I am shooting all weekend. Is that the gap?
Exactly. Your busiest shooting days are the days couples ring, and a wedding booking is worth more than a year of this.
Can it check my availability?
Against your calendar, so a couple gets a straight yes or no on their date rather than a call back on Tuesday.
Will it quote?
Your package prices, then it books the consultation where the real conversation happens.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a London customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
