About

I've done this for myself first.

I'm Josh Canales — founder, contractor, and content creator based in Orange County, CA. Before I ever ran ads for a client, I built a flooring company, grew it with organic content, and then scaled it with the exact systems I now bring to others.

I understand what it feels like to have an engaged audience but an inconsistent business. The gap isn't the content — it's the infrastructure. I specialize in bridging that gap with paid media and automation that actually converts.

Built my own proof first Owner of 949 Garage — an epoxy flooring company I grew organically and scaled with paid ads. Every strategy I recommend, I've tested on my own business.
Full-funnel thinking I don't just run ads. I build the landing pages, set up the automations, configure the tracking, and make sure every dollar spent has a system behind it.
Content-native approach With 40–60M views per month across my own platforms, I understand what content performs and how to use it to make ads cheaper and more effective.

Who I Work With

Made for people who already have traction.

I don't work with businesses starting from scratch. My clients have proven organic growth — and they're ready to pour fuel on it with paid systems that don't feel like a gamble.

Content Creators
You have an audience but your revenue is inconsistent. You want to build a real business behind the following you've earned.
Service Businesses
You're generating leads organically but you're stuck at a ceiling. You need systems to scale without adding more of your own time.
E-Commerce Brands
Your organic traffic converts well. You want to amplify that with paid ads, proper attribution, and automated email and SMS flows.
Local Businesses
You've built a reputation in your market. Now you want to dominate it with geo-targeted paid campaigns and a lead gen system that runs itself.

Services

Everything you need to go from organic to scalable.

01
Meta Ads Management
Full campaign strategy, creative direction, audience building, and ongoing optimization. I run ads that are built on your organic content — which means lower CPMs and better performance.
02
Funnel Design & Build
Landing pages, thank-you pages, offer pages, and VSLs built to convert. Every funnel I build is designed around the specific journey your audience is already on.
03
Automation & Email Flows
ManyChat, Klaviyo, Zapier — I build the backend systems that follow up, qualify, and close leads while you focus on creating. No lead falls through the cracks.
04
Pixel & Tracking Setup
Meta Pixel, conversion events, UTM infrastructure, and attribution. You can't optimize what you can't measure. Proper tracking is the foundation of every engagement.
05
Content Strategy for Ads
I tell you exactly what to film, how to frame it, and why. The overlap between organic content and ad creative is where the biggest performance wins live. I help you see it.
06
Lead Gen System Build-Out
End-to-end lead generation infrastructure including qualifying forms, CRM integrations, SMS follow-up, and appointment booking — built once, runs indefinitely.

Case Studies

Results across industries.
Same playbook.

Every client comes from a different niche. The underlying system is always the same.

How It Works

Four steps from conversation to converting.

1
Audit & Discovery
We look at what's already working — your content, your audience, your offer — and identify exactly where the system is leaking. No generic strategies. Everything starts with your specific situation.
2
System Design
I map out the full funnel: ads, landing pages, follow-up sequences, and tracking. You see the complete picture before we build anything. No surprises, no scope creep.
3
Build & Launch
We build it. Ads go live, automations are tested, tracking is verified. I handle the execution so you don't have to manage a team of five different contractors.
4
Optimize & Scale
Once the system is live, we analyze the data and scale what's working. Budget allocation shifts toward performance. Cost per acquisition drops. Revenue grows.
