Make a short video for your local business
Local customers want to know three things: what you do, whether you serve their area and what happens when they get in touch. Storyvalo turns your website into a short square video that answers them, using your own photos where possible and no invented reviews or prices.
Opens the studio with an editable local business video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- You run a local business with a website.
- You have a few photos of your work, shop or team.
- You want a video for social media, your website or your business profile.
The closest real example
This 1:1 brand introduction from a fictional company webpage is the same format a local business video uses on social feeds.
Fictional demonstration: the brand, source and scenario were invented for this example. It is not a customer testimonial or evidence of business results. Watch it with its source and script.
Local business video, step by step
Enter your website
Storyvalo finds the relevant pages; select your services, area and contact pages.
Upload your photos
Add up to five photos of your work or premises, with permission from anyone who appears.
Check the details
Make sure opening hours, service areas and booking steps match your site. Remove prices unless they are listed.
Render and post
Render square for social media, or landscape for your website.
Show your real work
Customers trust real photos of your work more than stock images. Use stock only for general scenes, never to represent your premises, team or results.
Keep it local
Mention the neighbourhoods or towns you serve exactly as your site does. It helps viewers know quickly whether you are the right choice.
Seasonal versions
Copy the project when your services change with the seasons, such as heating in winter and cooling in summer, and update the brief. Copies are free; each rendered version uses video minutes.
The starter brief
“Use this starter” fills in this brief in the studio. Edit any of it before you generate a storyboard.
Turn my business website into a short square video for local customers. Say what we do, the area we serve as stated on the site, what a first visit or appointment looks like, and how to book or get in touch. Do not invent reviews, awards or prices.
Review before you publish
Storyvalo drafts the script and assembles the video; you decide what is accurate. Read every scene against its source, check names, numbers and claims, and only use material you have permission to use. Stock footage and AI illustrations are illustrative, and narration is AI-generated.
What it costs
One 60-second, watermarked 720p export per verified account each calendar month. It ends with a short “Made with Storyvalo” card over its last two seconds. Standard voices and still or stock media. No payment card, no automatic subscription. Paid exports stay 1080p without the Storyvalo watermark. A free account includes five minutes of AI script attempts each calendar month, an editable storyboard and an interactive preview, with no card. Rendering a narrated video uses video minutes: export one minute for $2.99 or three minutes for $7.99, plus applicable tax, without a subscription. Monthly plans suit regular production and longer videos. Compare plans and packs.
