Problem & urgency
Names the costly problem the homeowner is putting off.
Hook A — Pattern-interrupt opening

Process
Bought like a product, not an agency.
Fast turnaround — you'll have a delivery time as soon as your brief is in.

02
Brief
A ten-minute form: the client, the service, the offer, the location, the CTA and any assets. No call.
03
Production
Angles, scripts, production, then a QA pass. If anything in the brief is missing, we ask for only that.
04
Delivery
Six files in a shared folder, organized for upload, with a revision form if anything needs changing.
A good fit

- Anyone looking for guaranteed ROAS
- Several businesses in a single sprint
Questions
The details.
How are the videos made?
With a modern production stack — including generative tools for footage and voice — directed by direct-response scripting and a fixed QA checklist. You receive finished, edited ads, not raw outputs to clean up.
Can we run these for our client?
Yes. Once delivered, you and your client can use the files in paid and organic media for that client's business. There is no VariantWorks branding on the ads.
Do you guarantee performance?
No — and be wary of anyone who does. What we commit to is the deliverable: six distinct, on-brief, ready-to-run variants built to be tested against each other.
What if something needs changing?
One revision round is included. Your delivery comes with a short revision form so feedback is specific and quick to act on.
What do you need from us?
The client's name and website, the service to promote, the target location, the offer and the call to action. Brand assets, photos and reference ads help but aren't required.
What if you can't take on our brief?
If we can't produce a brief well — for example, a category outside home services — we'll tell you before production starts and refund you in full.
Can one sprint cover several clients?
Each sprint covers one business. For several clients, run one sprint per client.
Give your next test something new to say.
