Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about delegating Reels editing, Pinterest scheduling, vendor tagging, and DM intake to SageDoer.

How does the virtual assistant receive my raw photos and video clips?
We adapt seamlessly to your existing studio storage. You can share assets via Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, or directly through your client gallery software (Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof). For smartphone behind-the-scenes (BTS) clips, photographers frequently drop files into a shared iCloud Photo Album, Google Drive folder, or AirDrop transfer.
How do you maintain our studio's specific visual aesthetic and color grading?
During kickoff, your dedicated Project Manager documents your studio brand guidelines, including approved typography, color palette, editing tone (e.g., true-to-color, moody, airy, filmic), and grid layout preferences. All social media graphics, cover images, and Reels are reviewed against these standards before publication.
Can the virtual assistant write SEO blog posts for our Showit or WordPress site?
Yes. Our assistants format and publish complete portfolio blog posts. They optimize image file names and alt tags, compress files for lightning-fast page loading speeds, write 600–1,000 words describing the wedding or commercial shoot, incorporate target local SEO keywords, and embed full vendor attribution links to maximize backlink authority.
How do you handle prospective client DMs and pricing questions?
We follow your pre-approved inquiry script. When a prospect reaches out on Instagram or Facebook, your assistant responds warmly within minutes, checks your calendar for date availability, captures their email address and wedding venue details, inputs the lead into HoneyBook or Dubsado, and sends your digital pricing guide or Calendly booking link.
What role does the dedicated Project Manager play, and why is it free?
Your dedicated Project Manager acts as your studio marketing supervisor. They ensure your publishing calendar runs on schedule, audit Reels editing and caption grammar, verify vendor credit accuracy, and arrange seamless backup coverage so your marketing never halts during peak wedding season. We provide this supervision at $0 so you only pay for productive working hours.
How quickly can our Photography Social Media VA start?
Deployment takes only 24 to 48 hours. After a brief 20-minute kickoff discussion with your dedicated Project Manager to review your gallery links, scheduling tools (Later, Tailwind, Planoly), and aesthetic guidelines, your assigned specialist will begin staging your social queue and cutting content immediately.
