Cedar Crest Decking · Decking & Outdoor Construction

The ad that turned a slow season into a closing machine.

Cedar Crest Decking needed more than impressions — they needed qualified homeowners ready to build. We scripted, filmed, and edited a custom Meta video ad in-house, then dialed the campaign until the leads started landing daily. Within weeks, the phone was ringing with the exact customers they could close.

The ad

Written, filmed, and edited in-house.

Built for the feed, engineered for the close.

Every second of this ad was designed to do a job: stop the scroll, qualify the viewer, and move them to action. No stock footage, no generic templates — just a tight, decking-specific script filmed on location and cut for Meta's placements.

The result is an ad that doesn't feel like an ad — it feels like a recommendation.

Hey man I have a huge favor to ask, are you open to helping us out with a quick testimonial video? 20-30 seconds answering these 3 questions: Where were you at before working with us? Where are you at now/results? What would you say to somebody who is not using a…

Next Level Resin · Resin & Epoxy Flooring

5 closed deals in the first 72 hours.

Next Level Resin wanted a steady pipeline of homeowners ready to transform their garages and patios with premium resin floors. We launched a custom-scripted Meta ad campaign — and within three days of going live, 6 leads had come in and five were closed with deposits collected.

The ad

Built to capture and convert, not just entertain.

Resin and epoxy installations live or die on education. Homeowners need to see the finish, understand the process, and trust the installer before they ever pick up the phone. We built the creative to answer those questions before the viewer had to ask.

Every second of the ad was engineered to qualify, not just entertain. The script filtered out tire-kickers and spoke directly to serious buyers — so by the time a lead hit the form, they were already warm.

From there, Next Level Resin's own sales process did the rest. Our ads brought the right conversations to the door; their team closed them. Six leads became five signed jobs in the first 72 hours — and the pipeline hasn't slowed since.

Dynamite Landscaping · Lawn Care

42 leads. 7 days. $2.79 each.

Dynamite Landscaping launched on April 17th. By April 23rd — six days later — their pipeline was full: 42 qualified leads at an average cost of $2.79. Meta's own benchmark tool called it out immediately: the campaign was running 79% below the median cost per lead of similar lawn care advertisers. Same platform, same audience pool, dramatically different result.

The ad

Customer's location, mower in hand, pitch in 20 seconds.

Real job site. No polish required.

For local service businesses, the ads that convert don't look like commercials — they look like a neighbor. We put Dynamite's owner on-camera, in the yard, delivering a direct, honest pitch.

No stock B-roll, no voiceover artist, no fluff. Just a clear offer, a clear price, and a clear next step — all scripted, filmed, and edited by our team.
