Better project captions without exposing the customer

A good project caption explains the work visible in the photograph. It does not need a customer’s house number, private schedule or exaggerated performance claim. Useful, accurate detail makes a contractor portfolio easier to understand.

The practical starting point

A good project caption explains the work visible in the photograph. It does not need a customer’s house number, private schedule or exaggerated performance claim. Useful, accurate detail makes a contractor portfolio easier to understand.

Describe what can be supported

Name the material, assembly and work actually confirmed by the project record. State a city only when it is verified and appropriate to share. Do not infer a neighbourhood from a photograph or describe every fence as a security upgrade without evidence of the intended purpose.

Choose a respectful frame

Review visible faces, house numbers, licence plates and documents before posting. Remove location metadata from the published image and obtain the appropriate permission for customer material. A private job record can hold precise access details while the public story stays broad enough to respect the customer.

Connect the image to a useful next step

Link the actual service and the performing business’s contact details. Distinguish an actual completed job from a concept rendering or illustrative stock scene. If a result or measurement has not been verified, leave it out. A smaller set of well-described photographs is more useful than a large gallery of unexplained images.

Keep this in your brief

  • Confirmed material and scope
  • Appropriate location and customer permission
  • Privacy review and metadata removal
  • Accurate credit and direct business enquiry link

Discuss the actual site and proposed assembly with LS before ordering or changing an existing fence.
