AI UGC Ads for Local Businesses
Paste your website. Addy learns your local brand, writes approved-only video scripts, and posts 9:16 ads to Instagram and TikTok.
What makes ads hard in this niche
The creative problems local businesses run into on Reels and TikTok.
Human creators cost too much for small budgets
Freelance UGC creators charge $150 to $400 per video, which burns through a local marketing budget before you find an angle that works. You need to test multiple hooks and offers without risking thousands of dollars on unproven actors.
Filming and editing takes time you don't have
Running a local shop, clinic, or service means your days are spent dealing with customers and operations, not filming TikToks. Setting up lights, recording voiceovers, and editing vertical video gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list.
Generic ads get scrolled past immediately
Stock photos and stiff corporate videos look out of place on local feeds where users expect authentic, community-focused content. If your ad doesn't look like a real person talking about a genuine local problem, locals swipe away instantly.
Seasonality requires constant new offers
Local demand shifts with the weather, holidays, and slow weekdays, meaning your promotions need to change constantly. Keeping up a steady stream of fresh ad creative for every seasonal push is nearly impossible as a solo owner or small team.
Hooks you can test this week
Openers written for this niche. Addy writes dozens like these from your website.
- “Stop scrolling if you live in [City] and need a plumber today.”
- “Why my local coffee shop is packed every single Tuesday morning.”
- “I tried every dentist in town before finding one that didn't overcharge.”
- “If your lawn looks like this, call someone before summer hits.”
- “Three things every homeowner in [City] gets wrong about roof repairs.”
- “POV: You finally found a reliable mechanic who doesn't upsell you.”

Questions
+Do I need any video editing experience to use Addy?
None at all. You simply paste your website URL, review the generated scripts, and swipe to approve. Addy handles all the rendering, formatting, and sizing for portrait 9:16 screens automatically.

+Can I target my specific city or neighborhood?
Yes. You can input your location details and local offers into your brand profile so Addy includes city names and neighborhood-specific references in the scripts.
