Facebook's audience skews older and more local than TikTok or Reels, which makes it disproportionately valuable for service businesses whose customers are actually searching Facebook and local groups before they search anywhere else.
Many businesses have written Facebook off as 'dead' and stopped posting, missing that the demographic most likely to book a service business — homeowners, parents, local shoppers 35+ — is still disproportionately active there.

"Lunchwell — Hospital Visit Story" is a close match — it's built for 9:16 at 1800 credits on VEO 3.1 Fast I2V, and every prompt, voiceover line and reference image is editable before you render your own version.
What aspect ratio should Facebook use for AI video?+
1:1 — square crops cleanly across LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram feed placements without letterboxing.
How often should Facebook post AI-generated video?+
About 4x a week, roughly 17 posts a month. If every post were a full workflow render at the recommended workflows' real cost, that's about 5270-30600 credits a month — mixing in real footage or lighter one-tap templates brings that down.
Is Facebook worth it for a small local business?+
Yes — for service businesses especially, Facebook's older, local, higher-intent audience often converts better per-view than younger, more browse-oriented platforms, even with a smaller total reach.
Do Facebook groups matter for video distribution?+
Sharing a video into relevant local or interest groups (not just your page) is one of the highest-leverage, lowest-cost distribution moves still available on the platform.
