Most brands mean a vertical 9:16 video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) with basic editing, captions, and a clean hook. Price moves mainly with complexity, deliverables, and usage rights.

In Orlando, local businesses sometimes save time by dropping off products locally instead of shipping, but on-site filming at your office, clinic, or job site usually adds cost for travel time, scheduling, and setup. For service businesses (dentists, law firms, home services), we often film UGC-style content without showing private info or client details, and we keep claims tight and verifiable.

One thing that surprises owners is usage. If you only plan to post organically, pricing is usually lower. If you plan to run the content as paid ads, usage rights and whitelisting can change the quote fast, especially if you want exclusivity. Our FAQ on UGC usage rights breaks down what to ask for before you pay.

For a fast quote, we usually just need your offer, the target customer, the platform (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Amazon), any must-say and must-not-say points (especially in healthcare and legal), and whether you want 1 final edit or multiple hook variants to test. If you plan to use UGC in ads, our PPC services can help you tie creative testing to leads and booked jobs, not just views.
