Automated Video Creation

Last updated May 5, 20264 min read

Most local businesses have piles of photos and zero videos. SAIGE turns the photos you already have into branded short-form videos and publishes them to Google Business Profile, YouTube and LinkedIn — without you opening a video editor.

What SAIGE generates

  • Photo-driven slideshow videos — your recent geo-tagged photos with motion, captions and your logo on the bookends
  • Service highlight reels — one service at a time, paired with relevant on-the-job photos
  • Listing tours (real estate) and before/after reels (cosmetic, roofing) — auto-stitched from listing or job photos
  • Seasonal explainer videos — short clips matched to your category's seasonal cycle

Branding every video

Each video opens with a 1.5-second logo frame and closes with a 2-second CTA card pointing at your phone, website or booking link. Brand colors and fonts pull from your Settings → Brand profile, so you set them once and every future video carries them.

Where videos publish

  • Google Business Profile — as a video post (the highest-engagement post type Google offers)
  • YouTube — as a Short on your branded channel; Google increasingly surfaces Shorts in local search
  • LinkedIn — for B2B-leaning categories (law, real estate, B2B services), the same video reposts to your company page
  • Facebook and Instagram — when those channels are connected, videos cross-publish as Reels

Approval workflow

Like Posts, video has three modes from Settings → Automate Videos:

  • AI Fully Automated — videos render and publish on schedule
  • AI Approval Required — SAIGE renders the video, you preview and approve from the dashboard
  • Custom Template — you choose specific photos and SAIGE assembles only those into a video

Why video moves rankings

Video is the highest-engagement post format on Google Business Profile by a wide margin. It also feeds YouTube — which is itself the second-largest search engine and increasingly a citation source for AI-search engines. Two surfaces, one source asset.
