Be the name people remember when the boiler goes.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, cleaners and gardeners all live on the same thing: being the number someone remembers on the day they need it. Put yours in the cafés, corner shops and barbers of the streets you cover, for a few pounds a week.
Free account, no minimum spend, no contract. You pay for verified plays and nothing else.
The gap
The job goes to whoever the homeowner happens to remember.
Lead sites sell the same enquiry to several trades at once, and a van only advertises where it is parked. What wins local work is familiarity — a name someone has seen around — and until now the only way to buy that was the sign on the van and word of mouth.
On the screens
What you would actually run.
Upload artwork you already have, or make it here — a poster costs 5 credits and a five-second clip 30.
Your trade, your area, your number
The plainest poster is the most effective one: what you do, which postcodes you cover, how to reach you.
A QR to ask for a quote
A poster with a code for your quote form or WhatsApp, for the person reading it from the queue.
The seasonal job
Boiler services before winter, gutters in autumn, garden clearances in spring. Run what people are about to need.
A finished job and a review
A photograph of the work and a line from a happy customer. Trust is what a homeowner is buying.
How buying works at your scale
Bought the way you already work.
Cover your postcodes, not the city
Filter the map by distance from your base and pick the venues inside the area you actually work.
Make the poster in the studio
Type your trade and your area and the AI studio sets it on a clean scene for a handful of credits. No designer, no print run.
Keep it ticking over
A small budget and a low maximum price per play keep your name up for weeks. Top up when it runs out.
Know exactly what it did
Every play you pay for is logged with the screen and the time, so there is no guessing where the money went.
What it costs
A campaign this size, priced out in full.
Eight cafés, shops and barbers across the postcodes you cover.
There is no platform fee on top and no monthly charge. 70% of what you pay reaches the venue already set, so the figure below is the whole cost.

An unverified play is never charged, so this is a ceiling rather than a forecast. Whatever is left when you stop stays in your balance.
Where it plays
The kind of room your advert lands in.
The screen in each of these is the real DisplayCircle player, laid over the television in the photograph.
Proof-of-Display
You are never charged for a play the screen cannot prove.
Every advert carries a signed, single-use token. The credit moves only if that token comes back with a believable duration and a live heartbeat showing the screen was awake and in view for the whole play. A television switched off at the wall earns its owner nothing and costs you nothing.
How verification worksSigned play tokens
Single use, time limited, tied to that screen and that campaign.
A live heartbeat
The screen reports in while your advert is on it, or the play does not count.
A believable duration
Plays outside the expected length of your creative are rejected.
An auditable ledger
Every credit that moved, with the screen and the date behind it.
Questions
What tradespeople and home services ask.
Is a screen better than a van?
It is different: a van is seen where you park, a screen where your customers queue. Many trades use both — the screen puts the name in front of people before the van turns up on their street.
Can I show before-and-after photographs?
Yes. Upload your own photographs as a poster or a short clip; the venue owner approves it before it plays.
How much do I need to spend?
There is no minimum. Venues set their own price per play, many at one or two credits, so a few pounds keeps your name up for a good while.
Another kind of advertiser?
