What we would do differently

Pick one number to watch. For short-form video for service brands it is usually completed actions — bookings, orders, replies — not visits. Visits flatter you; completions pay you.

Measuring whether it worked

The best examples of short-form video for service brands are boring on purpose. Clear words, obvious next step, nothing blinking. Personality lives in the copy and the photography, not in animation for its own sake.

A workflow that survives real weeks

  • A backup and a way to restore it
  • A plan for month two, written down
  • An owner's name next to each task
  • Alt text on every meaningful image
  • Proof: reviews, photos, real names
  • Legal pages linked in the footer
