Your opening line
[FIRST NAME] here. I run [COMPANY] right here in [CITY]. If you own a home near me with old windows, there is one thing to know before your next power bill.
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. Old windows leak the air you pay to heat and cool. Drafts, fog between the panes, and high bills mean the seals are gone. New windows pay you back every month. | OLD WINDOWS... LEAK MONEY |
| 30-48 | timely-offer | Right now I am opening a few free window estimates for local homeowners. I look myself. You get real numbers and a straight answer. | FREE [CITY] ESTIMATE |
| 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 window job | One 10-second clip of the actual crew or a completed local project (old window removed, new window set and leveled, a row of bright new windows). Category must match window replacement. 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? (drafts, fog, high bills, stuck windows)
- About how many windows need work?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. Thanks for asking about a free window estimate. I would like to swing by and look myself. What day this week works, and what is the best address? I will bring real numbers 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 5 Worn-Out Window Warning Signs Checklist

How the video flows

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
5 signs your windows are worn out and costing you money. Number 3 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 | 5 signs your windows are worn out. | 5 WARNING SIGNS |
| 3-11 | sign-1 | One. Cold drafts you can feel at the edge of the glass. That is air you pay to heat and cool leaking out. | SIGN 1... COLD DRAFTS |
| 11-19 | sign-2 | Two. Fog or moisture stuck between the panes. The seal has failed and it will not clear up. | SIGN 2... FOGGY PANES |
| 19-27 | sign-3 | Three. A high power bill. Folks blame the weather, but old windows leak the air you pay for. This is the one they ignore. | SIGN 3... HIGH BILLS |
| 27-35 | sign-4 | Four. Windows that stick, will not open, or will not stay up. When more than one does it, the frames are worn. | SIGN 4... STUCK WINDOWS |
| 35-43 | sign-5 | Five. Rotting or peeling frames and sills. That rot spreads into the wall. | SIGN 5... ROTTING FRAMES |
| 43-50 | when-to-act | One sign can wait. Two or more together means get an estimate before the next big bill. | 2 OR MORE... GET IT CHECKED |
| 50-58 | cta | Not sure where you stand? Tap below for a free estimate. | FREE ESTIMATE |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Alarming symptom close-up (hook) | Tight vertical close-up of the single most obvious real sign, like fog trapped between two panes. Shoot on a real home or recent job. Natural light. | 3s |
| One-symptom-per-cut sequence | Film 5 real close-ups, 3-4 seconds each: a hand feeling a draft at the window edge, fog between panes, a window painted or stuck shut, a rotting frame or sill, and heavy condensation on the inside glass. Category must match window replacement. | 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-estimate 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 estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. You mentioned a few worn-window signs. Two or more together is worth a real look. What is the best address and a day that works this week? The estimate is free and you get real numbers, not pressure.
Why it works
A numbered checklist promises a fast, complete payoff and makes the homeowner look at their own windows 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 Heat Timing — Stop Paying to Cool the Street

How the video flows

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
If you are going to replace your windows, summer is the time to act. Here is why the heat and your power bill change everything.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 | hook | Summer is the time to replace worn-out windows. | SUMMER CHANGES THIS |
| 3-14 | name-the-trigger | Here is why. Summer heat pours through old, leaky windows. Your AC runs nonstop, and you feel it in the bill. | HEAT IN... AC NONSTOP |
| 14-38 | why-timing-matters | Wait, and you pay another hot season to cool the street. Move now, in the warm, dry weather, and we do a clean install with no cold or rain delays. | WAIT... PAY ALL SUMMER |
| 38-48 | window-scarcity | Summer is a top install season, so good window crews book out weeks ahead. | BOOKING JULY NOW |
| 48-58 | cta | Get a free estimate while there is still time this season. | FREE ESTIMATE |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonal condition hook | Vertical shot of the summer trigger made visible: sun beating through worn glass onto a faded floor, or bright hot light on old windows with an AC unit running. Real, local. | 3s |
| Cause-and-effect explainer | Owner to camera or a simple visual showing heat leaking through old windows and the AC working overtime. Keep it plain. | 11s |
| Why timing changes the decision | Owner explaining, with a cut to a real drafty old window or a clean new install. Subtitle the key phrase. | 24s |
| Season scarcity + CTA card | End card naming the actual month so it feels current, then the free-estimate ask. | 20s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Is your power bill high this summer?
- What are you seeing? (drafts, fog, hot rooms)
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time this season for a free estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. Summer heat pouring through old windows is exactly what runs your bill up. Good news, warm, dry weather is the best window for a clean install. What is the best address and a day that works? The estimate is free.
Why it works
Replacements are easy to postpone, so an outside deadline the homeowner cannot argue with (weather, cooling bills, 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 Drafty, Foggy Windows to Bright and New — One Real Job

How the video flows

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
These windows were drafty, foggy, and stuck shut. Watch what the right crew did in a couple days.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 | before-hook | These windows were drafty, foggy, and stuck shut. | 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 pulled the old windows out clean. We set the new ones level in the opening. Then we sealed and insulated around every frame. | THE PROCESS |
| 40-52 | finished-result | Bright. Tight. Done. No more drafts, no more fog. | AFTER |
| 52-58 | cta | Want this for your home? Free estimate below. | YOUR TURN |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Worst 'before' frame | Full-bleed vertical of the real drafty, foggy, or rotting old window at its worst, filmed BEFORE anyone touches it. Never fabricate or borrow a before. | 4s |
| Fast before/after tease | Hard cut to the clean, bright finished 'after' window for 1-2 seconds, then back to the before. Same window, same project. | 6s |
| Chronological process clips | 3-5 real clips from the same job in order: old window removed, new window set and leveled, sealed and insulated around the frame, trim finished. Speed-match every clip so it feels like one job. | 30s |
| Clean finished result + CTA | Steady shot of the bright, finished new window (or a row of them), then the free-estimate end card. | 18s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- Are your windows drafty, foggy, or stuck?
- About how many need replacing?
- What street or address is the home on?
- Best phone number to reach you?
- Best day and time for a free estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. That before-and-after was a real job like yours. I would like to look at your windows and show you the options and real numbers. What is the best address and a day that works this week? The estimate is free.
Why it works
Before/after is the highest-trust footage a contractor owns and needs no explanation to land. The emotional arc, tired old windows and a bright new result, is the sale. Showing the process in order proves the after is real, not staged.
Video 5 On a Real Window Job — 3 Things Homeowners Never Check

How the video flows

CONCEPT PREVIEW Concept preview — example creative, not a live campaign result.
Your opening line
I am standing on a real window replacement 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 on a real window job. Here is what to check. | ON A REAL JOB |
| 4-16 | check-1 | One. How they seal around the frame. You want it insulated and sealed all the way around, not just a bead of caulk on the outside. | CHECK 1... SEALED FRAME |
| 16-28 | check-2 | Two. The glass itself. You want double-pane, low-heat glass that keeps the heat and cold out, not thin builder glass. | CHECK 2... THE GLASS |
| 28-40 | check-3 | Three. How they protect your home. A good crew works room by room, covers your floors, and cleans up each day. | CHECK 3... CLEAN INSTALL |
| 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 estimate below. | FREE HONEST ESTIMATE |
What to film
| Shot | How to film | Length |
|---|---|---|
| On-site expert hook | Vertical, owner on the active window job 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 thing (the sealed and insulated frame, the glass, the floor protection and clean-up). 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
Questions the form asks
- Are you getting window quotes right now?
- What window 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 estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], it is [FIRST NAME] with [COMPANY]. I made that video to help you judge any window quote, including mine. Happy to walk your home 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.

Your opening line
Anyone can quote you a window job. Here is the room-by-room install standard we follow on every single one.
What to say, step by step
| Time | Part | What you say | What we see |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 | trust-gap-hook | Anyone can quote you a window job. Here is our standard. | OUR STANDARD |
| 4-38 | walk-the-standard | We show up in uniform. We use energy-saving double-pane windows, not the thin cheap kind. We seal and insulate every frame. We work room by room, cover your floors, and clean up each day. | GLASS... SEAL... 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 estimate 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 energy-efficient windows staged neatly. | 4s |
| Standard proof clips in order | Chronological clips: crew arriving in uniform, the labeled double-pane windows, sealing and insulating the frame, floor protection room by room, 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 window 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 estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. If you are comparing window 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 windows, a clean site, a room-by-room install, 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. drafty, foggy old windows] — 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 window problem in their OWN words, on camera, at their home] | REAL [CITY] HOMEOWNER |
| 5-35 | their-story | [CUSTOMER, unscripted: what it was like before, why they chose [COMPANY], what changed] — intercut with real footage of their finished new windows | IN THEIR WORDS |

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 new windows. 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-estimate ask. | 10s |
The words on the ad
Questions the form asks
- What window 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 estimate?
The first text to send back
Hi [NAME], thanks for reaching out to [COMPANY]. A neighbor near you had similar worn-out windows and is glad they had them looked at. I would like to do the same for you, with real numbers 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.
