The real problem

You can't grow the business while you're buried in it.

You built something that works and you know it inside out. But marketing is not what you do — and it shows. Between the jobs you are also the marketer, the editor, the ad manager and the one chasing leads at 9pm. Sound familiar?

No time to post — let alone run real, structured ad campaigns

Every hour on marketing is an hour not running the business, or an hour of your night

Boosting the odd job photo and hoping something happens

Nobody owning video, ads and follow-up as one system

Budget burned on agencies that overpromised and vanished

A pipeline that swings feast to famine, month to month

$1

In ad spend

$3–$5

In booked work

That range is the industry benchmark for well-managed local video and paid social — not a White Lens guarantee. What we do promise is a system built to aim at it, and the number on your dashboard every month so you can see whether it landed.

Real, not generic

Most agencies push generic AI video and recycled copy. We make original content — for you, about you.

Jerry White, founder of White Lens Productions
Jerry White · Founder · Leander, TX

Plenty of agencies now spin up AI clips and templated ads that could belong to anyone. That is not marketing, it is noise, and homeowners scroll straight past it.

Jerry White has spent thirty years and more than 500 videos behind the camera. Every video we run for you is shot on your jobs, with your crew and your customers — then backed by a CRM and follow-up system built to help you scale, not to rack up views.

One team owns the whole thing, so you never have to. And we are right here in Central Texas — not four states away with a rep in a call center. Your account is run by the person holding the camera, and that matters.

  • 30+ years behind the camera — since 1994
  • Original video, shot for you and about you — never generic, never AI-spun
  • Backed by a CRM and follow-up system built so you can scale
  • Trained in the StoryBrand method — in plain English, he makes homeowners understand why to call you
  • Five to seven clients at a time — you get the attention you deserve, and a marketing partner rather than an account number
  • Network credits along the way: CBS, FOX, NBC and MSNBC

What we handle

Everything that fills your calendar — done for you.

You stay in control — you just stop doing the work. Every lead lands in one dashboard you can open any time, whether you already run a CRM or have never had one. You approve the direction; we build it, run it and tune it.

01 — Message

The right message

We work out what makes a homeowner choose you, and write it. You do not write a word.

02 — Video + photo

Monthly video and stills, shot for you

One shoot day produces both — video cuts and a set of photographs. No script to write, no camera to buy, no editor to chase.

03 — Ads

Meta ads, fully managed

We build, launch and manage your Facebook and Instagram campaigns. You never open Ads Manager.

04 — Targeting

Your local buyers

Budget goes to high-intent homeowners inside your radius — Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Round Rock — and nobody else.

05 — Follow-up

Leads worked automatically

Every lead captured, replied to and chased, on a dashboard that shows your real cost per booked call.

06 — Terms

No handcuffs

Month to month, cancel with 30 days' notice, and the footage and ad account are yours. You stay because it works.

Why both

Video and photography do different jobs. You need the pair.

Video ads

Win attention fast

They stop the scroll, show the work being done, and build recognition in feeds and reels — so a homeowner knows your name before they need you.

Photo ads

Close the high-intent click

A clear static frame carries the offer and the proof without asking for eleven seconds. It is what converts the homeowner who is already looking.

One team, one invoice, one number to judge it by.

Where the money goes

Spent on the people who can actually hire you.

Two things decide whether an ad budget works: how tightly it is aimed, and what happens to it after launch. Below, the actual targeting radius we build around your service area, and how we scale the creative — video and stills alike — that performs.

Hyper-targeted audiences

Aimed at your service radius, not the metro

Your budget reaches homeowners who can actually book you — inside your radius, in the brackets that match the jobs you want.

  • Your ZIPs and drive time, not "Austin"
  • Homeowners rather than renters, by property and income band
  • Exclusions so you stop paying to reach other contractors

Cut what fails, scale what works

Reviewed weekly, not reported on monthly

Every ad earns its place, video and photo both. The ones that do not book calls get cut; the ones that do get more budget.

  • Cost per booked call watched weekly, not at month end
  • Losing creative killed early instead of left running
  • Budget shifted to the winners, and refreshed before fatigue

The part nobody else does

Your ad budget is never marked up.

You pay Meta directly, or we bill it through at cost. The management fee is the management fee. There is no hidden margin sitting between you and your own spend.

Curious what a working budget looks like for your trade?

What it means for you

What actually changes.

Not impressions. Not engagement. The four things a $500K-plus contractor told us they actually wanted.

01

A schedule you can plan around

Leads arriving every week instead of whenever the phone happens to ring. You can hire, buy a truck, take a Friday off.

02

A number instead of a hunch

Cost per lead, leads per month, and which video produced them. On one dashboard, updated as it happens.

03

The most visible name in your ZIP

Homeowners see your face, your crew and your work repeatedly. By the time they need you, you are already the obvious call.

04

Your time back

You are not writing captions at 10pm or arguing with Ads Manager. One shoot day a month is the whole ask.

This is the version of your business we are aiming at.

Run your own numbers

What would the ad budget actually need to be?

Work it backwards from the revenue you want: how many jobs, how many appointments, how many leads, and what those leads cost. No email required to see it.

One replacement or repair — the whole ticket for that job.

Together: about 3 in 10 leads becomes a paying job.

Otherwise we use the published benchmark cost per lead for your trade. It is a planning figure, not a quote — your ZIPs will price differently.

Projected, per your inputs

Ad budget per month

What to put into Meta, at a $1,500 floor

Leads per month

Enquiries in

Appointments per month

Estimates booked

New customers per month

Work you actually win

Cost to win one customer

Adjust anything on the left and this updates.

Projections, not promises. These are gross revenue figures before your own cost to deliver, and they assume benchmark lead costs hold — early on they usually run higher while the campaigns learn. The $1-in / $3–$5-back range quoted elsewhere on this page is a conservative industry benchmark, not a White Lens result.

Email me my results + a game plan

We send these numbers with what we would actually run in your ZIPs. One email, no sequence.

Or book a strategy call

Twelve months from now

Two versions of the same business.

Nothing about your work changes in either one. The only difference is whether anybody in Cedar Park knows you exist.

If nothing changes

Same year, again

Post when you remember to

Boost the odd job photo

Hope the next referral lands

Compete on price because nobody knows your name

Guess which month will be slow

With the engine running

The most visible name in your ZIP

A new video every month, on your jobs

Structured campaigns running continuously

Leads arriving on a schedule

Chosen before the call because they already know you

A cost per lead on the dashboard

The second one starts with a thirty-minute call.

What clients say

Thirty years of people saying yes again.

Every quote here is real and attributed.

“Jerry is not only one of the most professional video pros around — they truly learn and care about our business. That’s allowed us to grow our brand with several amazing videos.”

Jason Dishongh

Owner · Whiskey Oak Realty

“White Lens exceeded our expectations. The video was the highlight of the night — everyone loved it, and we finally felt our donors really got us.”

Chaney Barton-Nichols

Marketing Manager · Hand to Hold

“Jerry is an outstanding content generator with a magic touch for extracting important concepts from customers before driving home the production. He will blow you away.”

Karl Schwab

“I needed someone I could trust without being there in person. Jerry was a pro — right equipment for camera and audio, made the subject comfortable, delivered exactly the shot needed, quickly.”

David Weinstein

Where the risk sits

We agree the target before you pay anything.

A guarantee only means something if the number in it is specific. So we set one together on the first call, in writing, based on your trade, your budget and your market.

A written lead target

Agreed on the strategy call before any money moves. Specific to your trade, your radius and the budget you set.

Ninety days to hit it

If we miss the agreed target inside the first ninety days, we keep working the account at no additional charge until we do — for a defined period we set out in the agreement.

Month to month, always

No twelve-month lock. Thirty days' notice and we hand over the footage, the ad account and the tracking. It is your property.

What we will not promise is a revenue figure. Anyone who guarantees you a dollar amount from advertising is guessing, and you should ask them how. We guarantee the work and the lead target — the rest depends on how you close.

Ask what a realistic lead target looks like for your ZIPs.

What you are actually getting

One retainer. An entire marketing department.

Most contractors try to hire this piece by piece — a video person, an ads person, a web person, a CRM nobody ever finishes. Here is what each plan includes, and what those pieces cost bought separately.

Talk to Jerry

Ad budget is separate, goes straight to Meta or Google, and is never marked up. For founding clients we put $1,000 to $2,500 a month toward it for the first two months, depending on tier. The à-la-carte figures are typical 2026 rates for buying each service on its own — they are not what White Lens invoices line by line.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

If yours is not here, text 737-379-3081 and Jerry will answer it himself.

Most contractors in the Austin metro start between $1,500 and $3,000 a month in ad spend. Below about $1,000 there is not enough data to optimise against. You pay that to Meta — we never mark it up.

The first shoot day is usually within two to three weeks of the strategy call, and campaigns go live shortly after the edit is approved. Expect the first four to six weeks to be a learning period while we find which creative and audience combination works in your ZIPs.

It helps — homeowners hire people, not logos — but no. Plenty of our work leads with the crew, the jobs and the customers instead. We coach anyone who does go on camera, and nobody memorises a script.

That is common. We will happily run the video and paid social while they keep the website and SEO. What does not work is two parties running the same ad account.

You do. Both. If you leave, the raw footage, the finished videos, the ad account and the tracking come with you.

No. Production is a single project with a beginning and an end — that lives on the services page. The Video Growth Engine™ is ongoing: video plus ads plus management, month after month.

Because a shoot day is a real day and there are a fixed number of them. We also will not run competing contractors in the same trade and territory, so a slot in your ZIP is genuinely a slot.

Capacity

We will only ever run five to seven of these at a time.

A shoot day is a real day, so that is the ceiling — and we will not run two competing contractors in the same trade and territory. Founding slots are open now, which is why the foundation build is on us. Once your trade and your ZIPs are taken, they are taken.

Book the call

Thirty minutes. You leave with a plan either way.

We look at your market, your best jobs and what your competitors are running, then tell you what a working budget and a realistic lead target look like. If it is not a fit, we will say so on the call.
