2. Create Your Ad Videos
Option A — Film Yourself (Recommended) This converts best. Use your phone. Film vertical. Say something like: “Attention (YOUR COUNTY), My company is running (% OFF) of our Local (Service), and the promo ends today. If your (driveway/windows/house) needs cleaning, we’re offering next-day service this week. Message or call us for a quick quote.” Tips: Natural light Outside at a job if possible Be real, not scripted Film 2 Other Videos like this to test ads. Real beats polished. Option B — Use AI Videos If you don’t want to be on camera: Use AI to create: Talking avatar videos UGC-style clips Before/after animations Use these when: You’re camera shy You want multiple creatives fast Upload 2–3 versions.
