Do I need to be on camera?

No. The filmed route usually works best with your hands, your tools and your workplace rather than your face, and many tradespeople prefer it that way. The AI route at £397 needs no filming at all, because it is produced from photos and copy you already have.

What happens if the videos do not work?

Then you have three finished videos, captioned, correctly titled and uploaded to your profile and channel, which are yours to keep and use anywhere. That is the point of starting at £397 rather than £897: it tests the surface before you commit to a filmed day.

Will this improve my Google ranking?

It helps, but it is one factor among several for the Map Pack. Proximity, review count and profile completeness usually matter more. If those are weak, video will not fix it, and the £149 audit will tell you which is which before you spend.

What is included in the channel setup?

A 30-minute call to set up or tidy your YouTube channel: correct categories, a channel description written around what you do and where you work, and a real first upload so the channel is live before anyone searches for you.

Video SEO for local business

Video is the second step of the journey.

Customers ask ChatGPT or Google for a shortlist, then watch the recommended business before they pick up the phone. AI Overviews cite YouTube in nearly a third of local-intent answers, and a Google Business Profile with a video gets five times the calls of one without. If you have no video, you are invisible at the moment the decision is made.

Two routes

Three videos either way. How we make them is your call.

Both routes deliver the same thing: three finished short-form videos, titled and tagged for the searches your customers actually make, on your Google Business Profile and your YouTube channel. The filmed route captures your actual work. The AI route builds from what you already have.

AI video · £397

No filming. Real videos. From what you already have.

We script three short-form videos from your existing photos, your website copy, and the kind of jobs you do day to day. AI tooling produces a 60-90 second finished video for each: motion graphics, captions, voiceover (real voice or AI voice, your call), and titles and tags tuned for local search.

Five days from intake. Best for businesses that want to test the video surface cheaply before committing to a filmed day. If the AI videos pull, most upgrade to the filmed package later.

Book the AI route

Filmed video · £897

One half-day. Three videos. Yours forever.

A local camera crew spends half a day with you on a real job or in your workshop. Three finished videos: typically one "what we do" intro, one "how we do it" process, and one "before/after" or customer question. Edited, captioned, with titles and tags tuned for local search.

Crew sourced through our partner network (Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Stroud, Cheltenham, Swindon, plus UK-wide on request). One week from booking to delivery. You keep the raw footage.

Book the filmed route

Both routes include

Local-search titles, descriptions and tags written for the terms your customers actually type
Uploaded to your Google Business Profile and your YouTube channel
A 30-minute YouTube channel setup call, so the channel exists with the right categories and a real upload
Captions on every video, because most local searches happen on mute

Why this is also AI search

Video helps you twice.

It helps the older search, where your customers find you on Google Maps. It also helps the newer one, where they ask an AI who to call and the answer cites video rather than a listing.

For Google Maps

A profile with video gets five times the calls.

A Google Business Profile with a video is a different listing to one without. It ranks better in the Map Pack, it shows in the image carousel, and it converts better because a prospect can see the work before they call. This is the most direct return on the money.

For AI answers

AI Overviews cite YouTube in local searches.

When someone asks an assistant for a recommendation in your area, YouTube is frequently one of the sources it reads. A channel with captioned, titled, local-search-optimised videos is a citable source that a business listing is not. This is the part most people have not thought about, and it is why the captions and titles are tuned rather than generic.

Making your site readable to AI agents is a separate discipline, and it is where most of the search is going. If that is your problem rather than your local ranking, see Agentic Engine Optimization. If it is your Map Pack, see Local SEO.

How it works

Five days from brief to uploaded.

Channel setup call. 30 minutes.

We set up or tidy your YouTube channel, set the right categories, write the channel description around what you actually do and where you work, and get a real first upload on it. So the channel exists before anyone searches for you.

Scripts and titles, written for search.

Three short scripts, each built around a term your customers type rather than a phrase you like. Titles, descriptions and tags written for those terms. You see them before we shoot or produce, because getting a title wrong is expensive to fix after filming.

Shoot or produce.

Filmed route: half a day on location, we direct and capture. AI route: produced from your existing assets with motion graphics and captions. Either way you keep the raw material.

Edit, caption, upload.

Finished to 60-90 seconds, captioned, uploaded to both your Google Business Profile and your YouTube channel, with the metadata written in step two.

The honest bit

What this will not do.

It will not make you number one.

Video is one ranking factor among many for the Map Pack, alongside proximity, reviews and profile completeness. If your reviews are weak or your category is wrong, video will not fix it, and I would rather fix those first. The £149 audit tells you which is which before you spend on video.

It will not go viral.

Three local videos do not make you a creator. They are built to be found by people already searching for your trade in your area, which is a smaller number of people than a viral video and a far better one. If you want reach rather than calls, this is the wrong spend.

Start with the audit, not the video.

If you are not sure whether video is your problem, the £149 Local SEO audit will tell you where you actually stand on Maps, what your competitors have, and whether video is worth doing at all. If it is, the video packages are above.
