The customer checks online before setting off: whether you stock what they want, what time you open, and whether they can park. A site that hides those three answers sends them to the next shop on the street.
What beats online retail is not price but everything a warehouse cannot do: take it home today, try it on, get advice, bring it back over the counter. That belongs on the website, not only in the shop.
Nobody expects the whole shop online, but they do expect to know whether a size is in. Letting someone ask about one item, or hold it until six, turns a browse into a visit that ends at the till.
Name the brands you stock. People search by brand long before they search by shop, and a page that lists what you actually carry picks up those searches while a page about your history picks up nothing.
Whether used gear is guaranteed is half a camera shop's revenue and the doubt that stops the purchase. What warranty covers second-hand and for how long, how the shutter count is verified, what is checked before it goes on sale, and what happens if it fails in the first week.
Trying before buying is where a shop beats the internet, and hardly any shop publishes it. Whether there is hire and whether it comes off the purchase, how long a lens can go out on trial, whether it leaves the shop or stays in it, and what deposit is asked for.
Sensor cleaning and repairs are what bring back somebody who bought elsewhere. Whether cleaning happens in house and how quickly, what is repaired internally and what goes to the manufacturer, what a quote costs and whether it is deducted, and when you advise against repairing at all.
Say what you do for somebody who has no idea what they need. A first camera for a trip, a lens for a child's football: a shop that answers that in plain words takes the sale from a website with a filter panel.
