Markets & location add-ons

Both winning competitors — Buildometry and Headz Up — are Rockwall-anchored, working the east / northeast DFW corridor (Rockwall, Heath, Forney, Sunnyvale, Mesquite, Garland, Plano). New-build homes, big lots, high ownership = prime $8k–$30k backyard demand. Use the tiers to decide where to run the agnostic 20; the location call-outs come later, in Phase 2.

targeting + Phase 2

Phase 1 Run all 20 location-agnostic — no city or neighborhood in the copy — to find the winning avatars & hooks. Phase 2 Layer these location call-outs onto the winners only, via the [AREA] swap below — zero re-render.

Tier	Cities	Why
1 · Mirror the winners	Rockwall, Heath, Fate, Forney, Sunnyvale, Rowlett, Mesquite, Garland	East-DFW corridor where Buildometry & Headz Up already convert. New builds, big yards, proven outdoor-living intent.
2 · Premium north	Southlake, Colleyville, Frisco, Prosper, Celina, McKinney, Flower Mound, Keller, Highland Village	Affluent, large lots — pushes outdoor-kitchen / fireplace tickets to the top of the $30k range.
3 · Suburban volume	Plano, Allen, Wylie, Sachse, Murphy, Little Elm, Mansfield, Arlington	Dense mid-ticket demand — patios, pavers, sod. Best cost-per-lead for scale.

Drop the area in with [AREA] — zero re-render

The 20 scripts ship location-agnostic on purpose. Once the agnostic test names your winners, layer a call-out onto those ads only — the video and audio never re-render.

Caption layer (free, no regen): burn a lower-third 📍 [AREA], TX at ~1s plus an end-card line Now booking in [AREA]. Swap the text per market → 1 master = 20+ geo cuts at $0 extra render.
Spoken tag (optional, mini-regen only): keep the master VO geo-neutral, then splice a 1-second spoken city tag (“…right here in [AREA]”) from a small pre-rendered tag bank. You regenerate one word, never the whole ad.
Match the call-out to the tier: Tier 1 & 2 → name the neighborhood (“just finished one in Windsong Ranch”) for max proof; Tier 3 → name the city.

Owner explains the process

The core format from the existing brief — “Wes” on camera, phone-reel style, walking a finished backyard and explaining how Local Landscaper works. Trust through transparency, not discounts.

Script (soft VO over b-roll)

MOM (VO): This is what zero-down got us. I always felt kind of guilty that the backyard was such a mess for the kids.
