Never Miss a Booking
While You're Shooting
BotDesk answers pricing questions, qualifies leads, and captures booking inquiries 24/7, so you come home from a session to warm leads, not missed opportunities.
Photographers Miss More Leads Than They Realize
You can't answer inquiries while you're behind the camera. Many prospects won't wait.
Inquiries arrive during shoots
A bride finds your portfolio at 2pm on a Saturday, your busiest shoot time. She has questions. No one answers. She books someone else.
Late-night browsing converts to morning bookings
People research photographers in the evening. If your site has no way to respond, they're starting fresh with competitors by morning.
"How much do you charge?" goes unanswered
Pricing is one of the first things people ask a photographer. If your site doesn't answer it, many prospects leave without getting in touch.

Questions Your Chatbot Answers Automatically
The most common photography inquiries, handled instantly, any time of day or night.
"Is September 19 open?"
It takes the date for you to confirm. It shares packages only if you've added them.
Example chat. Made-up studio (Golden Hour Photo), made-up packages and prices.
VisitorHi! Is September 19 open for an engagement shoot? And what are your packages?
BotI can't see the calendar, so I can't tell you if September 19 is open. The photographer confirms every date. From the site: the engagement session is $450 for 90 minutes and 60 edited photos. Want me to pass your details on so they can check the date and get back to you?
VisitorYes please. Olivia Grant, 508-555-0165. We'd like to shoot in Plymouth, by the harbor.
BotThanks, Olivia. I've passed on your name and number, the date you asked about (September 19) and the location (Plymouth, by the harbor). They'll get back to you about whether the date is open.
The package answer comes from your site or from what you add in your dashboard. If you haven't listed packages, it says it doesn't have them and offers to pass the question on. Set up to take requests, as here, it doesn't read a calendar, so it never tells anyone a date is free: it takes their name, number, date and location and emails them to you. The Free plan takes up to 3 of these a month; paid plans take every one.
Common Questions
Yes. Most photographers set starting prices or package ranges rather than exact quotes. The chatbot shares your pricing structure and captures the lead so you can follow up with a custom proposal. This filters out mismatched leads and warms up the ones worth your time.
You configure what to ask. Most photographers collect: name, email, phone, event type (wedding, portrait, commercial), event date, and any specific requests. You get this as a notification so you can follow up within minutes or hours.
Yes. BotDesk works on any website platform that allows adding custom HTML. Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Pixieset, Pic-Time, and custom sites are all supported. Setup is one copy-paste line of code.
It captures their question and contact info and flags the inquiry for you to answer personally. For anything you haven't covered, it hands off rather than making something up.
Yes. It replies in the language each person writes in, such as Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean or Tagalog, on every plan, and you choose which languages it uses. On Growth and up, chats in another language reach you with an English translation.
