How quickly will I get my videos?

You get first drafts within 48 hours of the shoot. Most clients have final videos within about a week of their discovery call.

It's a free 30-minute call. We ask about your business, your customers and your goals, then recommend the right videos and tell you the price and timeline. There's no obligation to book.

Video Production

How long does a video shoot take?

Most of our commercial shoots take 90 minutes at one location. For before-and-after videos, we can come back a second time to film the finished result.

Do I need to prepare anything for the shoot?

Not much. Before the shoot we send a simple shot list and talking points. On the day, we direct everything. You just need to tidy the space and show us your best work.

Who owns the videos?

You do. Once your package is paid, you can use the finished videos anywhere, including your website, ads, social media and Google Business Profile.

What formats will I receive?

You get high-resolution 4K files in vertical (9:16) format for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and horizontal (16:9) for your website and YouTube.

Can you film at more than one location?

Yes. The standard package covers one Calgary location. We can add more locations or a second shoot day, and we'll quote it on your discovery call.

How much does a commercial video cost in Calgary?

Groville Media's 3 for 1 package is $450 + tax for three finished videos. Custom brand films and documentaries are quoted after a free discovery call.

Social Media Content

How often should a local business post videos on social media?

Aim for 3 to 5 short videos per week. Posting consistently builds familiarity with local customers faster than occasional big posts. Groville Media films a month of content in one session so you can keep that pace.

Which social media platforms do you create content for?

We create vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts, and horizontal versions for YouTube and your website.

Do you post the videos for us?

Yes. On our monthly plans we schedule and post your videos, write the captions and choose hashtags. You approve everything before it goes live.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. We can feature you, your team, your customers or just your work. Many of our best-performing videos show the work being done with a voiceover.

How long until social media content brings in customers?

Most businesses see more profile visits and messages within the first 30 to 60 days of consistent posting. For faster leads, we run your best videos as Facebook and Instagram ads.

Lead Generation

How much should I spend on Facebook ads?

Most local service businesses start with an ad budget of $20 to $50 per day, paid directly to Meta. On your discovery call we'll recommend a budget based on your area, your service and how many new jobs you can handle.

How fast will I get leads?

Campaigns usually start producing leads within the first one to two weeks. The first month is used to test offers and videos, and results usually improve from the second month.

How do I receive the leads?

Each lead lands in your CRM instantly, with a notification to your phone. They also get an automatic text and email to start the conversation and book a time with you.

Do you guarantee a number of leads?

We don't promise exact numbers, because results depend on your offer, your market and your budget. What we do promise is full transparency: you'll see your cost per lead and every lead we generate.

Do I need to have videos already?

No. We create the video ads for you, often from the same shoot as your other content.

Pricing

Is there a contract or monthly commitment?

Not for our video packages. The 3 for 1 Commercial Suite is a one-time project with no ongoing commitment.

What's included in the $2,400 Starter package?

The Starter package is built for new businesses. It includes a brand package (logo, business cards and flyers), a new website, Instagram and Facebook setup, Google Business Profile setup and a media day where we film 3 finished videos. HJ Contracting, a Calgary painting company, turned their Starter package into $50,000 in revenue.

Do I pay anything to book a discovery call?

No. The discovery call is free and there's no obligation. Payment is only due once you decide to book a shoot.

Are there travel fees outside Calgary?

Shoots inside Calgary are included. For nearby towns like Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere, we'll confirm any travel cost upfront on your call.
