What a small business can use UGC ads for
You need a few simple local videos, not a campaign.
A local offer: a happy hour or a first-visit discount.
A menu or price list: what's new and what it costs.
A shop story: who runs the place and why.
A how-it-works: booking, ordering ahead, a first visit.
A seasonal moment: a holiday menu or a summer special.
Do you need a camera, an editor or a creator?
No. Probably's AI ad generator scripts, films and edits the ad with an AI actor, so you only need to say what you want.
To show the real place, add shop photos or phone videos and choose "In video".
In store
The shop floor, the counter or the chair
Walk and talk
An actor on the way to you
Selfie vlog
A casual first-person recommendation
Street interview
A quick question to a passer-by
Product close-up
