CRTE helps Los Angeles photographers and artists get found and get booked with marketing built for creative businesses — SEO, a portfolio site that converts, and content that shows your best work. We turn your craft into a pipeline of the right clients. Grow your creative business with CRTE.
Photography and fine-art businesses fail at marketing in a specific way: the portfolio is beautiful, the SEO is invisible, and the booking flow is a Gmail thread. Our program fixes that stack without cheapening the work.
We build portfolio-first sites that keep the imagery front and center, wire in real booking (Pixieset for photographers, Calendly for consults, Stripe for deposits), and run local SEO tuned to the queries prospective clients actually type — 'Los Angeles family photographer,' 'Westlake Village headshot studio,' 'engagement photographer Malibu.'
The paid layer runs on Meta and Google Ads with creative from our own studio. We don't send you to a stock-photo agency — we shoot the assets, we brief the ads, we run the retainer.
Google Business Profile rebuild, portfolio site refresh, Pixieset booking flow with real deposit collection.
Editorial site that treats the imagery like the product it is — no template lookbooks, no cluttered widgets.
Meta and Google ads with real geo-targeting for the LA neighborhoods that actually book high-margin sessions.
Post-session automated review requests routed to Google, The Knot, WeddingWire, or vertical sites — whatever moves your category.
We work with photographers & artists clients across Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and the greater LA metro — plus remote-first engagements across the US.
Kickoff, audit, and diagnostics. We map the account, the market, and the goal before we touch anything.
A 90-day roadmap with the channels, creative, budget, and KPIs the team will actually be measured against.
Senior operators do the work — no juniors on your account. Weekly cadence, transparent Slack, real deliverables.
Monthly review + quarterly recalibration. We double down on what works and cut what doesn't, on purpose.
For strategy-led retainers, yes — we won't run two direct competitors in the same LA-metro market at the same time.
