Marketing built around how your industry buys

Every industry has its own economics, sales cycle, and reasons people hesitate. These pages show how we approach the ones we know best, and the results behind them.

Why we work this way

The same ad platform behaves differently in every industry

A lead that's cheap for one business can be expensive for another. A pest control customer on a recurring plan, a med spa client who rebooks every few months, and an IT contract that takes months to close all justify very different costs, offers, and messages.

So each industry page starts with how that business makes money and how its customers decide. The ads, offer, and follow-up get worked out from there.

Jordan runs this work directly. You talk with the person doing the analysis, not a handoff.

Industries we serve

Choose your industry

Each page covers how we approach that business, what we've done in it, and the best first step.

Meta Ads

Pest control

Ads built around recurring plans, seasonality, service areas, and phone calls.

HomeTeam Pest Defense: 7,000+ leads, ~50% lower cost per lead, 1,800+ calls at under $16 per lead.

Meta Ads

Med spas

Ads built around treatment economics, consults that actually show up, and clients who rebook.

Informed by Jordan's work with Ethos Medspa.

Marketing systems

IT providers & MSPs

Positioning, ads, and follow-up built for long sales cycles where buyers are weighing risk and trust.

Jordan was Marketing Lead at a five-time Inc. 5000 MSP before founding VMC.

What stays the same

The approach behind every industry page

The tactics change by industry. The order we work in doesn't.

Start with the economics

What a customer is worth over time decides what you can afford to pay for one. We work that out before touching budgets or bids.

Match how buyers decide

Someone with termites, someone choosing an injector, and an IT director comparing providers move at different speeds and worry about different things. The message and offer should reflect that.

Measure past the lead

A cheap form fill means little if it never books, shows, or buys. Where tracking and your CRM support it, we connect ads to booked appointments, calls, and customers.

Fix what's actually broken

Sometimes the problem is the ads. Often it's the offer, the follow-up, or the tracking. We say which, including when the answer is a few small changes you can make yourself.

Beyond these three

Don't see your industry?

Jordan's background goes wider than the pages above. If the economics and buying behavior make sense for paid media, the approach carries over.

Automotive & tires

Paid social for Hercules Tires across Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn: 8,300+ leads and 200K+ clicks, supporting product launches, dealer storytelling, and national promotions.

Real estate & hospitality

Experience supporting McCombs Properties, including The Broadway San Antonio and Palmilla Beach.

Education & consumer brands

Work with organizations including Applerouth Education, Sinomax USA, 1TDC Dog & Cat Supplement, and My Olive Tree.

A clear starting point

How working together starts

01 / CHOOSE

Start with your industry page

Each page explains how we approach that business and which first step fits it. See the industries

02 / TALK

Book a free review or strategy session

Already spending $1,000+/month on Meta Ads? Start with a free 30-minute Meta Ads review. Otherwise, a free strategy session looks at your whole marketing system.

03 / DECIDE

Get a straight answer on next steps

That might be an audit, ongoing support, or a few changes you can make yourself. The first conversation doesn't obligate you to anything.

Before you book

A few practical questions

Do you only work with these three industries?

No. These are the industries with dedicated pages so far. Jordan has also worked with automotive, real estate, hospitality, education, and consumer brands. If paid media fits your business, we're happy to talk.

Which first step should I choose?

If you're already spending $1,000+/month on Meta Ads, start with the free Meta Ads review. If you're not running ads yet, or the problem is broader than one channel, start with a free strategy session.

Is everything Meta Ads?

No. Pest control and med spa work centers on Meta Ads. IT provider work is broader, covering positioning, search, LinkedIn, and follow-up, because IT buyers rarely decide from a social ad. We also offer Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads support.

Do you work with companies outside Austin?

Yes. VMC is based in Austin and works with clients nationwide. Meetings can happen in person around Austin or over Zoom.

Will I work with Jordan directly?

Yes. Jordan runs the strategy and the campaigns, so you talk with the person doing the work.

Not sure where to start?

Talk it through with Jordan

A free strategy session looks at your business, your current marketing, and where it's breaking down. You'll leave knowing what's worth fixing first, whether or not we work together.

“Jordan was so awesome to work with! He was super knowledgeable... I could tell that he spent a lot of time to understand my business and previous marketing strategies so he could give me the best advice for my business. Couldn't recommend Jordan more!”Ryan Feister · Business Owner & Videographer
