01 — The Work

This is what shows up in your inbox.

A real sample, made for a real DC business. Fifteen seconds, built vertical for the feed, your name and number on screen.

Sample · U Street florist

Eighty years on one street corner — in fifteen seconds.

Built from what makes the business worth choosing: the hands doing the work, the story behind the counter, the phone number on screen at the end. No stock footage, no template. Every ad is made for one business and nobody else.

02 — How It Works

Three steps. You do almost none of them.

01

Claim your free sample

Tell us your business name, city, phone and what you do. That's the whole form. We research the rest ourselves.

02

We build your first ad

You get a finished vertical ad, checked line by line — correct spelling, correct phone number, no nonsense claims. Yours either way.

03

New ads every Monday

Like it? You get three fresh ads a week, in your inbox Monday morning, ready to post. No shoots, no crew, no scheduling.

03 — Why Bother

Built for how local businesses actually get found.

Nobody sees your certification

Being a certified or approved vendor gets you on a list. It doesn't get you in front of the customer scrolling on their phone at 9pm. Video does.

Zero production burden

No film crew in your shop, no scheduling around your busy season, nobody asking you to be on camera. You keep working.

Made for one business

Every ad is built around your actual service, your actual story, your actual phone number. Nothing gets recycled between clients.

Flat, honest pricing

Setup plus a monthly rate, shown right at the top of this page. No media buying markup, no mystery retainer, no annual lock-in.

Local, not offshore

Run out of Washington DC by someone who knows the difference between Petworth and Penn Quarter, and why that matters in an ad.

Try before anything

The first ad costs you nothing and comes with no obligation. If it's not good, you've lost one email. If it is, you already know what you're buying.

04 — Questions

The things people ask first.

Is the free sample actually free?

Yes. You get a finished ad for your business at no cost and with no obligation. Keep it, post it, ignore it — it's yours. We do it because it's a faster way to show you the work than any sales call.

What do you need from me?

Your business name exactly as you use it, your city, your phone number, and what you do. If you have a website or photos we'll use those too, but they're not required.

Are these filmed, or made with AI?

They're produced with AI video tools and then checked by a human, line by line, before you ever see them. That's why there's no crew in your shop and why a full month costs less than a single traditional shoot. Watch the sample above and judge it on the result.

What does "certified and approved vendors" mean?

It's who we focus on — businesses on DC's certified business and approved vendor lists. It describes who our clients are, not any endorsement of us or of them by the District.

What if I want fewer ads than twelve?

There's a lighter plan — $500 setup and $1,000 a month for eight ads, two a week. Ask and we'll send the details.

What happens after the free sample?

Nothing, unless you say so. If you want more, you start on the monthly plan and your first batch lands the following Monday. If you don't, we don't chase you.
