Your opening line
[FIRST NAME] here. I run [COMPANY] right here in [CITY]. If you own a home near me, there is one thing to know about your crawlspace before the next big storm.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 | hook | [FIRST NAME] here. I run [COMPANY] right here in [CITY]. | [CITY] OWNER |
| 3-12 | who-this-is-for | We only work homes near you. We are not a call center. We do not sell your name to five companies. | LOCAL... NOT A CALL CENTER |
| 12-30 | the-one-thing | Here is the one thing. The damp air under your house does not stay down there. It rises into your rooms. Seal the crawlspace and you stop it at the source. | SEAL IT... STOP THE DAMP |
| 30-48 | timely-offer | Right now I am opening a few free crawlspace checks for local homeowners. I look myself. You get photos and a straight answer. | FREE [CITY] INSPECTION |
| 48-58 | cta | Tap below. Tell me your street. I will come look myself. | TAP BELOW |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Owner selfie hook by the truck | Vertical medium close-up, owner centered, branded truck or a real job site behind them, natural daylight. Owner says the hook in their own words, no memorizing. Do not film while driving. | 12s |
| B-roll of a real recent local crawlspace repair job | One 10-second clip of the actual crew or a completed local project (sealed vapor barrier, a jack post, a finished dry crawlspace). Category must match crawlspace repair. Phone-shot, steady. | 18s |
| Owner delivers the offer | Back to the owner on camera, direct to lens, calm and plain. Truck or logo visible. | 18s |
| CTA end card | Owner making the ask, or a simple end card with the phone number and 'tap below'. Keep the subtitle short. | 10s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- What street or address is the home on?
- What are you seeing? (bouncy floors, musty smell, damp, standing water)
- When did you first notice it?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. Thanks for asking about a free crawlspace inspection. I would like to swing by and look myself. What day this week works, and what is the best address? I will bring photos and a straight answer. No pressure.
Why it works
Homeowners trust a face and a town before they trust a claim. Naming the city and the owner in the first three seconds filters for locals and signals a small local business, not a lead reseller. The timely offer gives a reason to act today instead of saving the ad.
Video 2 4 Crawlspace Warning Signs Checklist

How the video flows

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
4 signs your crawlspace is trying to warn you. Number 2 is the one homeowners ignore until it gets expensive.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 | hook | 4 signs your crawlspace is warning you. | 4 WARNING SIGNS |
| 3-11 | sign-1 | One. Floors that feel bouncy or sag over the crawlspace. The support below is giving out. | SIGN 1... BOUNCY FLOORS |
| 11-19 | sign-2 | Two. A musty smell rising into your rooms. That damp air is already in your house. This is the one folks ignore. | SIGN 2... MUSTY SMELL |
| 19-27 | sign-3 | Three. Standing water or wet dirt under the house. Wet wood rots fast. | SIGN 3... WET GROUND |
| 27-35 | sign-4 | Four. Mold or rot on the wood beams. That points to steady moisture down there. | SIGN 4... MOLD ON WOOD |
| 35-48 | when-to-act | One sign can wait. Two or more together means get it checked before the next big storm. | 2 OR MORE... GET IT CHECKED |
| 48-58 | cta | Not sure which you have? Tap below for a free inspection. | FREE INSPECTION |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Alarming symptom close-up (hook) | Tight vertical close-up of the single scariest real sign, like mold on a floor joist or water on the crawlspace dirt. Shoot on a real home or recent job. Work light in the dark crawlspace. | 3s |
| One-symptom-per-cut sequence | Film 4 real close-ups, 3-4 seconds each: a bouncy or dipping floor (marble rolling), a damp stained joist for the musty-smell beat, standing water on the crawlspace dirt, and mold or rot on a wood beam. Category must match crawlspace. | 32s |
| When-to-act rule | Owner to camera or a clean text card stating the two-or-more rule. Keep the subtitle short. | 13s |
| CTA card | Soft diagnostic ask with the free-inspection subtitle. | 10s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Which signs are you seeing? (pick all that fit)
- How many of these do you have at once?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. You mentioned a few crawlspace warning signs. Two or more together is worth a real look. What is the best address and a day that works this week? The inspection is free and you get photos, not pressure.
Why it works
A numbered checklist promises a fast, complete payoff and makes the homeowner look at their own home while watching. Real symptom footage turns a vague worry into a specific one. The two-or-more rule gives a self-qualifying trigger without fear-mongering.
Video 3 Summer Humidity Timing — Seal Before Rot Spreads

Your opening line
If you are going to fix your crawlspace, the next few weeks are the best time. Here is why summer's damp air changes everything.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 | hook | The next few weeks are the best time to fix your crawlspace. | SUMMER CHANGES THIS |
| 3-14 | name-the-trigger | Here is why. Hot, humid summer air pours in through the open vents. Summer storms soak the ground under the house. It all stays damp down there. | HUMID AIR... IN THE VENTS |
| 14-38 | why-timing-matters | Wait, and that damp air feeds mold and rot on your wood all summer. Move now, while we can dry it out and seal it, and we catch it before the rot spreads. | WAIT... ROT SPREADS |
| 38-48 | window-scarcity | Our summer schedule fills up fast. | BOOKING JULY NOW |
| 48-58 | cta | Get a free inspection while there is still time this season. | FREE INSPECTION |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonal condition hook | Vertical shot of the summer trigger made visible: humid air and condensation dripping under the house, or water pooled on the crawlspace dirt after a storm. Real, local. | 3s |
| Cause-and-effect explainer | Owner to camera or a simple shot showing humid air coming in the vents and moisture sitting on the wood. Keep it plain. | 11s |
| Why timing changes the decision | Owner explaining, with a cut to a real damp joist or moldy beam. Subtitle the key phrase. | 24s |
| Season scarcity + CTA card | End card naming the actual month so it feels current, then the free-inspection ask. | 20s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Have you noticed damp, musty air or mold this summer?
- What are you seeing? (bouncy floors, musty smell, standing water)
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time this season for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. Summer's humid air is exactly when crawlspaces grow mold and rot. Good news, this is the best window to dry it out and seal it. What is the best address and a day that works? The inspection is free.
Why it works
Repairs are easy to postpone, so an outside deadline the homeowner cannot argue with (weather, ground conditions, a filling schedule) beats a generic call us. Tying the fix to a physical cause they can see makes the urgency feel real, not salesy.
Video 4 Wet, Muddy Crawlspace to Sealed and Dry — One Real Job

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
This crawlspace was a wet, muddy mess. Watch what the right crew did in a few days.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 | before-hook | This crawlspace was a wet, muddy mess. | BEFORE |
| 4-10 | before-after-tease | Here is where it ended up. Now here is how we got there. | WATCH THIS |
| 10-40 | process-in-order | We cleared out the space. We sealed a thick liner to the floor and walls. We set jacks under the sagging beam. Then we put in a dehumidifier to keep it dry. | THE PROCESS |
| 40-52 | finished-result | Sealed. Dry. Solid. No more damp rising up. | AFTER |
| 52-58 | cta | Want this for your home? Free inspection below. | YOUR TURN |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Worst 'before' frame | Full-bleed vertical of the real wet, muddy, or moldy crawlspace at its worst, filmed BEFORE anyone touches it. Never fabricate or borrow a before. | 4s |
| Fast before/after tease | Hard cut to the clean, sealed, dry finished 'after' for 1-2 seconds, then back to the before. Same crawlspace, same project. | 6s |
| Chronological process clips | 3-5 real clips from the same job in order: the space cleared out, the vapor barrier sealed to the floor and walls, a jack post set under the beam, the dehumidifier running. Speed-match every clip so it feels like one job. | 30s |
| Clean finished result + CTA | Steady shot of the sealed, dry, brighter crawlspace, then the free-inspection end card. | 18s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Is your crawlspace damp, wet, or musty?
- How long has it been that way?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. That before-and-after crawlspace was a real job like yours. I would like to look at your crawlspace and show you the options with photos. What is the best address and a day that works this week? The inspection is free.
Why it works
Before/after is the highest-trust footage a contractor owns and needs no explanation to land. The emotional arc, dread of the before and relief of the after, is the sale. Showing the process in order proves the after is real, not staged.
Video 5 On a Real Crawlspace Job — 3 Things Homeowners Never Check

Your opening line
I am at a real crawlspace job. Let me show you the 3 things most homeowners never know to check.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 | on-site-hook | I am at a real crawlspace job. Here is what to check. | ON A REAL JOB |
| 4-16 | check-1 | One. The liner. You want it sealed tight to the walls, not just laid down on the dirt. | CHECK 1... SEALED LINER |
| 16-28 | check-2 | Two. The support jacks. You want them set on a solid footing under the beam, not just propped up. | CHECK 2... SOLID JACKS |
| 28-40 | check-3 | Three. How they keep it dry. You want a dehumidifier or a drain, so it stays dry for good. | CHECK 3... STAYS DRY |
| 40-50 | empower-reframe | Now you can judge any company that quotes you, including us. | NOW YOU KNOW |
| 50-58 | cta | Want me to walk your home like this? Free inspection below. | FREE HONEST INSPECTION |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| On-site expert hook | Vertical, owner at the active crawlspace job with the work clearly behind or below them, gesturing at it. Phone-shot. | 4s |
| Follow-the-point teaching sequence | Owner points at each of the 3 check-points; camera follows to the real component (liner sealed to the wall, jacks on a solid footing, dehumidifier or drain). Teach good-vs-bad honestly, do not just pitch. | 36s |
| Empowerment reframe | Owner to camera saying the viewer can now judge any quote, including his own. | 10s |
| CTA end card | Free honest inspection ask. | 8s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Are you getting crawlspace quotes right now?
- What crawlspace problem are you dealing with?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. I made that video to help you judge any crawlspace quote, including mine. Happy to walk your crawlspace the same way and show you what to look for. What is the best address and a day that works? It is free.
Why it works
Teaching a homeowner what to check makes the contractor the trustworthy expert and disarms the they-are-just-upselling-me reflex. Real jobsite footage is credible and cheap to shoot. It also arms the viewer to reject competitors, which favors the contractor who taught them.

Anyone can quote you a crawlspace job. Here is the step-by-step install standard we follow on every single one, start to finish.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 | trust-gap-hook | Anyone can quote you a crawlspace job. Here is our standard. | OUR STANDARD |
| 4-38 | walk-the-standard | We show up in uniform. We seal a thick, rated liner to the walls, not a loose sheet. We set solid support jacks. We add a dehumidifier, and we clean up when we leave. | STEP... MATERIAL... CLEAN-UP |
| 38-50 | documented-guarantee | And every job comes with our warranty in writing. You hold the paper. | WARRANTY IN WRITING |
| 50-58 | cta | Comparing quotes? Get one from a crew that documents it. Free inspection below. | GET A REAL QUOTE |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Professionalism hook | Vertical shot that signals a real, professional crew: uniforms, clean truck, labeled liner and dehumidifier materials staged neatly. | 4s |
| Standard proof clips in order | Chronological clips: crew arriving in uniform, the sealed liner and set jacks, the dehumidifier going in, and the finished clean-up. All real and category-matched. | 34s |
| Warranty document on camera | Hold the actual written warranty up to the lens so it is legible. Only show a real document. If no documented standard/warranty exists yet, build it before filming. | 12s |
| CTA end card | Comparison-shopper ask with the free-quote subtitle. | 8s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Are you comparing crawlspace quotes?
- How many quotes do you have so far?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. If you are comparing crawlspace quotes, I would like to add one that comes with our written standard and warranty, so you can compare apples to apples. What is the best address and a day that works? The inspection is free.
Why it works
A homeowner with three quotes buys on trust and risk, not price alone. Showing real materials, a clean site, a timeline, and a written warranty removes the fear of hiring a sloppy or fly-by-night crew. A documented standard is a claim competitors usually cannot match on camera.

Your opening line
TEMPLATE FILL (no permissioned testimonial yet): [CUSTOMER FIRST NAME] in [NEIGHBORHOOD] had [PROBLEM, e.g. a wet crawlspace and sagging floors] — capture their reaction on camera the day you finish the job.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-5 | real-person-hook | [CUSTOMER states the crawlspace problem in their OWN words, on camera, at their home] | REAL [CITY] HOMEOWNER |

What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Real customer at their home (hook) | Vertical, the real permissioned customer at their own home, natural and unscripted. In template mode, use a clearly labeled placeholder card instead — never a stand-in actor presented as a real client. | 5s |
| Customer story + real finished job | Customer talking, intercut with real footage of their finished, sealed crawlspace. Keep it unscripted and phone-shot. | 30s |
| Outcome quote | Capture one specific sentence about the result on camera. Do not write it for them. Subtitle the exact quote. | 13s |
| CTA end card | Owner or card with the free-inspection ask. | 10s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- What crawlspace problem are you dealing with?
- How long has it been going on?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free inspection?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. A neighbor near you had a similar crawlspace problem and is glad they had it looked at. I would like to do the same for you, with photos and a straight answer. What is the best address and a day that works? It is free.
Why it works
A neighbor vouching outperforms any claim the contractor can make about themselves. A real name and a real street make it verifiable and local. The template guardrail means a contractor with no testimonials yet still gets a usable, honest asset and a plan to earn the real one, with zero fabrication risk.

Metrics, naming, budgets, and the test plan. Your crew never needs this part.
Intended metric per video
Launch packet
Campaign naming
- Campaign: foundation-repair-blueprint-20260721
- Ad set (cell): foundation-repair-L2-20260721
- Ad: foundation-repair-L2-hookA-20260721
- Ad: basement-waterproofing-L4-v1-20260721
- Iteration ad: basement-waterproofing-L4-headlineB-20260728
- Never rename a live ad set/ad — the name is the record. Spin a new dated name for a new variant.
- Keep the lane id in every name so results roll up by lane automatically.
- The launch date in the name is the wave date, not the edit date.
Test-cell plan
- It clears the minimum spend floor for the cell (see budget_logic) so the read is not noise.
- It beats the wave's other lanes on that lane's OWN intended metric (L2/L4 on hook-through + clicks, L5 on watch time, L6/L7 on lead quality / booked rate).
- It is producing leads/booked inspections at a cost you are willing to keep paying, judged against your own account baseline — not an outside benchmark.
- Only then shift budget toward it and/or open a second-variable test inside that lane.
Budget logic
30-day calendar
- Stand up one niche campaign with all seven lane cells at equal small budget.
- Confirm tracking is intact on every link (see tracking_contract) before turning anything on.
- Do NOT touch budgets or creative — let the cells exit learning and gather a clean baseline.
- Read each cell on its OWN lane metric, not a single blanket number.
- Flag the obvious non-starters (weak hook-through / no clicks) for pausing, but only after they clear the minimum spend floor.
- Keep the learners running; do not over-react to a single bad day.
- Pause the clear losers and move their budget to the top 2-3 lanes.
- Inside a winning lane, open ONE second-variable test (new hook first) with a fresh dated {asset} name.
- Refresh a promising-but-tired lane's hook rather than killing it outright.
- Move proven lanes into a dedicated scaling campaign and raise budget gradually.
- Retire lanes that could not earn their floor after a fair test.
- Brief the next creative round: new hooks/variants for winners, and swap L7 from template to a real, permissioned customer if one was captured on a recording day.
- Re-cut L3 seasonal for the upcoming month/season.
Scorecard
Stop / iterate / graduate rules
- Cleared the spend floor and still bottom of the wave on its own lane metric -> pause it.
- Clicks are fine but demo starts are near zero after a fair sample -> the page/message mismatch; pause or fix the LP, do not keep paying.
- No qualified applications after a full, fair test -> stop and reallocate.
- Strong hook-through but weak clicks -> test a new headline or primary text (one variable), keep the winning hook.
- Good clicks but low demo starts -> tighten the LP/message match before spending more.
- A lane is close but tired -> refresh the hook with a fresh dated {asset} before killing it.
- Clears its floor, beats the wave on its own metric, AND books inspections at a cost you will keep paying -> move to a dedicated scaling campaign.
- Raise budget gradually once graduated; big jumps reset learning.
- Keep the winning creative naming/lineage so the scaling campaign inherits the record.
Tracking contract
- Do not put any personal or homeowner data in URL parameters — campaign metadata only.
- Keep utm_content identical to the ad's {niche}-{lane}-{asset} so ad-name and click data reconcile.
- Verify every parameter survives all redirects before turning an ad on.
- The funnel is chatbot-first on one trigger word DEMO — never reference ManyChat in any link, copy, or resource.
