0-3	hook	[FIRST NAME] here. I run [COMPANY] right here in [CITY].	[CITY] OWNER

12-30	the-one-thing	Here is the one thing. A deck rots from the parts you cannot see. The frame, the posts, and where it meets the house. A weak deck can give out under people. A rebuild makes it safe.	ROTS UNDERNEATH

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 deck job	One 10-second clip of the actual crew or a completed local project (tear-off to frame, new framing, finished deck). Category must match deck replacement. Phone-shot, steady.	18s

The first text to send back

Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. Thanks for asking about a free deck estimate. 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.

Filming notes Concept art of an owner-by-truck gets replaced with the real owner filming a 30-second selfie by their own truck, plus one real 10-second clip of a recent local deck job (crew, tear-off to frame, or finished deck). Owner says the actual city and neighborhood out loud. Authenticity beats polish.

Alarming symptom close-up (hook)	Tight vertical close-up of the single scariest real sign, like a screwdriver sinking into a soft, rotten board. Shoot on a real deck or recent job. Natural light.	3s
One-symptom-per-cut sequence	Film 5 real close-ups, 3-4 seconds each: a screwdriver pressed into a soft rotten board, a hand wiggling a wobbly railing, a foot testing a bouncy spot on the deck, a gap where the deck pulls from the house, a rotting post at its base. Category must match deck.	32s

The first text to send back

Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. You mentioned a few deck warning signs. Two or more together is worth a real look before it gives out. What is the best address and a day that works this week? The estimate 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 deck 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.

Filming notes Illustrative symptom art gets replaced with 5 real close-ups from actual decks or recent jobs, matched to deck replacement. If one sign cannot be filmed real, it may be illustrated at concept level but must look accurate for the niche. Keep each clip 3-4 seconds.

Why it works

Repairs are easy to postpone, so an outside deadline the homeowner cannot argue with (deck season, more weight and use, a filling schedule) beats a generic call us. Tying the fix to when the deck is used hardest makes the urgency feel real, not salesy.

Filming notes Concept seasonal art gets replaced with one real local B-roll clip of the summer trigger (summer sun raking across a gray, sun-worn deck showing cracks and rot). Re-shoot or re-caption per season with the month, season, and use-trigger swapped. Name the real month.

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.

Filming notes MANDATORY real footage of one project only, replacing all concept art. Film the 'before' at its worst before touching anything, capture 3-5 process clips IN ORDER as the job runs, and shoot the finished result clean. Never fabricate or borrow a before. If only 'after' footage exists, this lane cannot ship at product level.

I am standing on a real deck rebuild. 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 on a real deck rebuild. Here is what to check.	ON A REAL JOB
4-16	check-1	One. The ledger. That is where the deck bolts to the house. It has to be flashed and bolted, not just nailed. This is the part that fails most.	CHECK 1... THE LEDGER
16-28	check-2	Two. The posts and footings. You want posts on solid footings, not rotting in the dirt.	CHECK 2... POSTS + FOOTINGS
28-40	check-3	Three. The railing and fasteners. You want the railing bolted solid and rated screws, not old nails.	CHECK 3... SOLID RAILING
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 deck like this? Free estimate below.	FREE HONEST ESTIMATE

What to film

Shot	How to film	Length
On-site expert hook	Vertical, owner on the active deck rebuild with the work clearly behind 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 (ledger board flashed and bolted, posts on footings, railing connection). 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 estimate ask.	8s

The words on the ad

The words under the video on Facebook I am standing on a real deck rebuild.

Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. I made that video to help you judge any deck quote, including mine. Happy to walk your deck 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.

Filming notes Concept jobsite art gets replaced with a single continuous or lightly-cut real walkthrough on an active deck rebuild. Point the camera AT each thing described (ledger, posts and footings, railing). Teach genuinely useful check-points (good vs bad), do not just pitch. Category must match deck.

Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. If you are comparing deck 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 estimate is free.

Why it works

A homeowner with three quotes buys on trust and risk, not price alone. Showing real materials, solid footings, a flashed ledger, 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.

Filming notes Concept process art gets replaced with real proof of the operational details: branded/labeled rated boards and structural fasteners, crew in uniform, posts on solid footings, the flashed and bolted ledger, yard protection, and the finished clean-up. Show the real warranty document on screen. If a documented standard or warranty does not exist yet, build it before shooting. Do not imply one that is not real.

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.

Filming notes This lane ships as a labeled TEMPLATE because no permissioned Deck Replacement testimonial exists yet. Run the capture checklist below to earn a real one, then swap every placeholder for real released content. Only ship at performance level with a signed name, likeness, and quote release. Never invent a testimonial, name, number, or result.

rules

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

structure

One niche campaign per test wave. Inside it, seven ad sets, one per lane (L1-L7) = seven test cells. Each ad set starts with ONE creative so the lane concept is what is being tested, not the edit.

one_variable_at_a_time

Wave 1 tests the seven lane CONCEPTS against each other (concept is the variable). Only after a lane proves it can stop the scroll and earn clicks do you test a second variable inside that lane — hook, then headline, then primary text, then CTA — one at a time, never two at once. Label the changed variable in the {asset} slot.

equal_start

Give all seven cells the same small starting budget so the audience, not your budget split, decides the early winners.

audience

Keep the audience identical across the seven cells in a wave (same geo radius, same age/interest setup, Advantage+ creative OFF at upload) so the lane is the only difference.

when_a_lane_earns_more_budget

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

principle

Ranges and rules of thumb only. No absolute promises. Actual numbers depend on the market, the account's history, and the season. Confirm real budgets with Akash before any spend.

tiers

tier

Wave 1 — learn

guidance

A small, equal daily budget per cell across all seven lanes. Enough to exit the platform's learning noise, not so much that a weak lane burns money. Think 'smallest amount that still buys a readable sample.'

tier

Wave 2 — concentrate

guidance

Cut the clear non-starters, then move their budget onto the 2-3 lanes that earned it. The surviving cells get a step up, not a leap.

tier

Wave 3 — scale winners

guidance

Graduate proven lanes into a dedicated scaling campaign and raise budget gradually (small, steady increases beat big jumps that reset learning).

minimum_spend_per_cell

Do not judge a cell until it has spent enough to leave the learning phase and returned a stable sample of the lane's own metric (for click-judged lanes, a meaningful number of impressions and clicks; for lead-judged lanes, enough leads to trust the pattern). Killing a cell before that floor is guessing, not reading.

budget_change_hygiene

Change one thing at a time and give it a few days before the next change. Large mid-flight budget swings reset the platform's learning and muddy the read.

30-day calendar

note

A rhythm, not fixed dates. Each niche can run on its own copy of this calendar. Nothing launches without a separate go-ahead.

week_1

theme

Launch + collect

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.

week_2

theme

Read

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.

week_3

theme

Iterate

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.

week_4

theme

Graduate + plan next wave

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

note

The SOW metrics ladder. 'Good looks like' is DIRECTIONAL GUIDANCE for judging lanes against each other and your own account baseline — it is not an invented benchmark and must never be presented as a factual number.

ladder

step

Spend by lane

what_to_read

Where the money actually went, rolled up by lane id from the naming convention.

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: spend concentrates over time on the 2-3 lanes clearing their own metric; you are not still funding every lane equally by week 3.

step

Clicks / landing-page views

what_to_read

Did the ad earn the click and did the LP actually load/view.

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: top lanes hold a higher click-through and LP-view rate than the wave's weaker lanes and your account average — compare relative, not to an outside figure.

step

Demo starts

what_to_read

Homeowners who began the chatbot demo (one trigger word: DEMO) or the booking flow.

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: a healthy lane turns a visible share of LP views into demo starts; a lane with clicks but almost no demo starts points to a message-to-page mismatch.

step

Demo completions

what_to_read

Homeowners who finished the demo / qualification flow.

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: most demo starts should reach completion if the flow fits the promise; a big drop mid-demo is a flow problem, not a lane problem.

step

Qualified applications

what_to_read

Completed leads that meet the niche scope (structural foundation / full waterproofing, at target project value).

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: lead QUALITY is where L6 and L7 should shine even if their raw click counts are lower; judge these lanes here, not at the click step.

step

Booked calls / inspections

what_to_read

Qualified applications that turned into a booked inspection — the bottom of the ladder.

good_looks_like_directional

Guidance: this is the lane's real payoff. A lane can win on clicks and still lose here; fund the lanes that book inspections at a cost you will keep paying.

Stop / iterate / graduate rules

note

Rules of thumb, not hard guarantees. Apply only after a cell clears its minimum spend floor.

stop

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.

iterate

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.

graduate

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

principle

Every link out of every ad must preserve the full parameter set so results roll up by niche, lane, asset, and resource. If a redirect or shortener drops a parameter, fix it before launch.

required_parameters

niche

foundation-repair | basement-waterproofing

lane

L1 ... L7

asset

the creative variant id (matches the {asset} in the ad name)

resource

the destination resource being driven to (e.g. demo, book, kit-foundation-repair)

utm_source

the platform, e.g. meta

utm_medium

e.g. paid_social

utm_content

the creative variant, mirrors {niche}-{lane}-{asset} for click-level attribution

example_url

https://demo.stpierre.ai/?niche=foundation-repair&lane=L2&asset=hookA&resource=demo&utm_source=meta&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_content=foundation-repair-L2-hookA-20260721

rules

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.
