Local Video Ads — That Generate Leads Affordably
Local service businesses — plumbers, HVAC techs, roofers, cleaners, salons — need video ads that build trust within their service area. Sovran makes professional video ad production accessible to small businesses, generating leads with geo-targeted creative without enterprise-level budgets.
Why local service businesses teams struggle with video ads
These production bottlenecks slow testing and make each new variation more expensive.
Limited budgets for professional video
Hiring a videographer and editor for ads costs $500-2,000+ per video. For a small business running multiple services, that's prohibitive. You need professional-quality ads at a fraction of the cost.
No time for content creation
You're running a business, not a production studio. Finding time to plan, shoot, and edit video ads alongside daily operations means marketing always falls to the bottom of the priority list.
Geo-targeting needs service-area-specific creative
Your ads need to feel local — referencing neighborhoods, communities, and local landmarks. Generic national-brand-style ads don't build the local trust that drives service calls.
Multiple services need different ads
An HVAC company needs ads for installation, repair, maintenance, and seasonal tune-ups. Each service speaks to different urgency levels and customer situations — one video can't serve them all.
