Step by step
Describe the promotion, service or what sets your business apart in a short script. Be specific: address, hours, special price or a clear call to action.
Place the influencer in a setting related to your business: a gym, a waiting room, a kitchen. The more contextual the scene, the more relevant the video is to local customers.
Choose the profile that best represents your customers. For clinics, prefer profiles with a professional look. For gyms, profiles with a fitness look.
Download the 9:16 HD MP4 with no watermark and upload it straight to Meta Ads to target by location radius, or post it organically on your business's Instagram and Facebook.
Why do local businesses need video in their ads?
Influencer video ads get more attention and convey more credibility than static images, a deciding factor for local businesses where first impressions drive the customer's choice. The 9:16 format fills the whole phone screen, the device where most local searches and buying decisions happen.
How much does it cost to keep a steady ad cadence for a local business?
A ~30s video costs 19 credits on Premium. The entry pack of 120 credits for $9 makes 10 Premium videos of up to 15 seconds, enough to test the creative before scaling. For a monthly cadence of 8 videos of ~30s, the Large pack of 1,800 credits for $79 is the most economical, at about $0.83 per 30s video.
Can I use the same video on different social networks?
Yes. The exported 9:16 MP4 works with Instagram Reels, Stories, Facebook and TikTok. For Meta Ads campaigns with location-radius targeting, the same file can be uploaded as a video creative with no changes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to appear in the ad myself?
No. The AI influencer from the catalog represents your business. If you prefer, create a custom influencer with the look of an employee or the owner using the photo and voice upload feature.
Can I target the ad by neighborhood or city?
Location targeting happens on the ad platform (Meta Ads, Google Ads), not on AvataReel. AvataReel makes the video creative; you set the audience and targeting radius on the platform itself.
Does the video work for any kind of local business?
Yes. Restaurants, clinics, gyms, salons, retail stores, schools and any business with a local audience can use AvataReel to create video ads with a script and scene adapted to their segment.
How long does the video take to be ready?
A few minutes after you submit the script. For businesses that need to react fast to holidays or flash sales, that speed is a real advantage over traditional production.
Do credits expire if I don't use them in a month?
No. Purchased credits never expire. Produce at the pace of your campaigns, weekly, every two weeks or around your business's seasonal dates.
