Let me be straight with you: this page is a little different, because Solvis Media isn’t taking on the work anymore. Per their own website, the agency largely shut down in May 2026 after ten years in business — founder Liam Bennett has stepped back, offering only select high-level video consultations. By all public accounts they did quality work: brand videos, testimonials, mini-documentaries for law firms, contractors, HVAC and plumbing companies across dozens of US markets. No complaints here — just a closed door.
But notice what their closing means for every business that depended on them. The relationships, the production pipeline, the marketing motion — gone with the agency. Their site notes past clients’ videos being archived and backups made available, which is the responsible way to wind down. Still, every one of those clients is now shopping for a new partner and rebuilding momentum from wherever the handoff left them. That’s the risk baked into every agency relationship: they all end eventually.
Which is exactly why we build the way we do. Everything LSM creates lives in your accounts from day one — your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers. An AI account manager trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions manages bids daily, I personally oversee it, and you approve everything before launch. If LSM disappeared tomorrow, your machine would still be yours, still running, still ringing your phone. That’s the standard I’d hold any agency to — including us.

I’ve been in this game 15 years, and here’s a truth nobody puts on their sales page: every agency relationship has an expiration date. Sometimes the agency raises prices. Sometimes the quality slips. And sometimes — like Solvis Media in May 2026 — the founder simply earns the right to step back after a good decade of work. No villain in that story. Liam Bennett built something real and closed it with care, even making sure clients got their video files.
But put yourself in the shoes of an electrician or plumbing company that had its marketing motion running through any agency that closes. The videos survive on a hard drive. The momentum doesn’t. The know-how, the campaigns, the pipeline — those walk out the door with the team. If your lead flow lives in someone else’s shop, your business inherits their retirement date.
That’s the whole reason LSM is built inside-out. Your Google Ads account. Your landing page. Your call tracking numbers. Built in your name from day one, managed daily by our AI, personally overseen by me, everything approved by you before it goes live. Month-to-month, public pricing, 7-day money-back guarantee — because the machine doesn’t need a contract to keep you; it needs to keep working. And it’s yours no matter what happens to us. — Lior Vaknin, founder, Local Service Mastery

Honestly, not for video — Solvis was a video production shop, and we don’t do video production, brand films, or website redesign projects. We do one thing deep: done-for-you Google Ads that make your phone ring, in an account you own. If what you actually need is a videographer, hire a videographer. If what you need is measurable lead flow for your service business, that’s us.

Yes — those are exactly our trades. High-intent Google Search in one city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management, personally overseen by me. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.
No. Video builds brand over time, and it has its place — but a homeowner with a burst pipe isn’t watching your mini-documentary; they’re searching Google and calling the first credible plumber they find. Get the call machine running first ($699/month, live in about 48 hours), then invest in brand assets from a position of steady revenue.
