See your market the way your competitors already do.
Who's capturing the searches your buyers make, what your own assets are doing for you, and where demand is leaking — in plain English, with what we'd fix first.
- A 3-minute personal video walkthrough of what we found
- Your topline presence score and the 2–3 gaps costing you most
- Your brand message in one line, and the first thing we'd fix
What we find
Nobody can find you.
Your competitors are collecting the searches your buyers already type. You have the pages — they just aren't written in the words people use, and they don't name the places you build.
The ones who do find you land in an inbox.
A serious buyer fills in a form and it becomes an email, read once on a phone. No record of what brought them, nothing following up, no way to know which page was worth paying for.
The work that would sell it sits on a hard drive.
Renders, films, floor plans, photography — paid for, finished, and never published. Or published at a file size that won't play.
Nobody can answer the investor question.
How many have we sold, how did they find us, and what did each one cost? Across every property and every market — assembled from spreadsheets, days late.
Every one of these is checkable on your own business in an afternoon. That's what the audit is — and you keep the findings whether you hire us or not.
Why they choose someone else →What we do
Find it. Build it. Fill it.
Find it.
We audit your market the way a competitor would — what buyers search, who's capturing it, what your own assets already say, and where demand is leaking. Then we walk you through it before you've signed anything.
Build it.
The site, and the system beneath it. Every enquiry in one place, tagged with what produced it, routed to the right person. Your inventory, your progress and your spend on one screen, across every property.
Fill it.
Film the work, sharpen the message, run the campaigns. Half a day on site, once a month, is all it takes from you — so there's something worth finding, and someone looking.
See everything we do →“Most businesses paying for content are paying for content that doesn't convert. Most paying for leads don't have a site worth sending leads to. The system that works treats presence, conversion, and traffic as one problem — not three.”
The system
Your business, on one screen.
Every lead, every unit, every dollar of spend and what it turned into. The screen you check on a Monday instead of four apps and a text thread — and the one that answers an investor in a sentence.
Built for your business, on a stack you own outright. Not a seat we rent you, and not a login you lose when we stop working together.

Our guarantee
Give it the 90-day run. If it doesn't work, we do — free.
Post the videos we make you, and keep your ads running at the budget we agree on. If you haven't hit the number we agreed by day 90 — we keep filming, editing, and running your ads free for another 90 days.
If we still haven't gotten you there, we part ways clean: you owe us nothing more, and you keep everything we've made.
Before we start we agree in writing on two things: what counts as a qualified call — someone in your service area, asking about work you actually do — and how many. A two-truck outfit and a fifteen-crew builder don't need the same number, so we set yours against what you're getting today.
Your ad budget goes straight to Meta — never to us, never marked up. $1,500 a month is the floor we'll work to; higher-ticket trades (roofing, pools, full remodels) need $2,500–$4,000 to get out of the noise. We agree the number before anything runs, and the guarantee holds as long as it stays there.
The 90-day promise
Post the videos. Keep the ads running.

Client review · Google
“John has a unique ability to capture the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism that goes into our work.”
From aerial footage to project walkthroughs and team footage on-site, everything he produces looks polished, cinematic, and professional. He takes the time to understand our company and tell the story behind the work — not just point a camera at it.
Who we work with
If you sell something big, in a place, to people who think about it first.
Developers selling across several properties or markets.
Commercial builders and construction companies.
Car-condo, storage and membership communities.
Commercial realtors with inventory to move.
Custom builders and premium trades doing work worth showing.
What they have in common isn't the trade. It's that the sale is considered, the buyer looks you up three times before they call, and the business still runs on somebody's phone.
We go deep on each client rather than wide on the list. If you're smaller than this and the problem is the same, say so anyway — we still do that work.
We're not the cheapest way to get videos made, and we're not trying to be. If the lowest price is what decides it, we're not your best call.
The team
Four people who have done this before — and one number to call.
One person picks up, and it's John. Alongside him each part of the work has an owner, and all of it lands in the same place — so you're never chasing four people to get one answer.
We're a collective by design — four independent studios working as one team. You sign one agreement and you talk to one person. And because each of us runs our own shop, the person doing your work is the one answerable for it.

Our commitments
You own it. You can run it. We'll say when not to spend.
Everything is in your name.
Your website and the code behind it. Your leads, and every message you've ever sent them. Your ad accounts, and the audiences inside them. We open all of it under your name and hand you the logins as we go. Plenty of shops run your ads through their own account and keep the history when you go. If you ever leave us, nothing gets packed up — none of it was ours to take.
We teach you to run it.
We show you how to edit your own site, read your own numbers, and work your own ad account. Most people still hand it back to us — it's a job, and they'd rather build. But the reason you stay should be that it's working, not that nobody else can log in.
We'll tell you to wait.
We won't take your ad money until there's a page worth sending it to. We've asked a client to keep their budget in their pocket for two months while we fixed what sat underneath it — a call that cost us the ad fee and saved them a great deal more. And we charge a flat fee for the work, so we never earn more by telling you to spend more.
Where to start
Three ways in. Every one opens with the free audit.
Half a day
The Foundation
9 videos and a photo set. One time.
Businesses that want to see it work on their own jobs before committing to more.
Everything we make — footage, photos, your message — carries into Momentum. You never pay twice for the same work.
Half a day, every month
Momentum
8 short videos and 1 long one. Every month.
Businesses that want the phone to keep ringing — and never want to think about content again.
One day, two sites, every month
Market Leader
16 short videos and 2 long ones. Every month.
Businesses ready to be the name in their market, not one of many.

Who you are and why people trust you. Lives on your homepage.
Month 2
Project Recap
One real job, start to finish. Your best work selling the next one.
Month 3
Customer Story
A real client telling it in their own words.
Month 4
What to Expect
How a job actually goes, step by step. Kills the biggest fear.
Month 5

Month 6
Meet the Crew
The people who show up. Or a hiring film, if you're growing.
Then it starts again with a new job. The shorts run alongside it — eight a month, every month.
Every business is a different size, so every package is scoped on your first call — the right videos, the right amount, the right number. Most people start smaller than they expect. And whatever we build, you own forever.
See exactly what's in each one →Before you ask
The questions everyone asks — answered.
- I don't want to be on camera.
- Most people say that. We don't hand you a script to read — we ask you questions about your own work and cut it together. It sounds like you because it is you.
- I don't have time for this.
- Half a day, once a month. We come to your job site while your crew works. That's the whole ask.
- What if I don't like it?
- You see a first cut, tell us what to fix, and we lock it. Two rounds of changes, every time.
- What if it doesn't work?
- We agree up front what a qualified call is and how many you should get. Post what we make, keep your ads running, and if you haven't hit that number by day 90, we keep going free for another 90.
- How much is it?
- Scoped on the first call, because a two-truck outfit and a fifteen-crew builder don't need the same thing. Most people start smaller than they expect.
- I already tried an agency.
- Most of them hand you videos. Every video we make has a job and a place to live — a page on your site, an ad, an answer to a question that was costing you jobs.
- I don't really have a website.
- Then that's where we start. We build them in-house, and the films go straight into it.
