    Built by an operator.
    AI visibility is an operations problem.

    UM Media is owner-operated by Tavis McGrew, who spent two decades in corporate leadership, including seven years as a Director and three and a half years as an Executive Director with direct oversight of more than $10M in annual revenue.

    Most of the work that makes a business visible to Google and AI answer engines is not creative work. It is auditing every surface that describes the business, finding the contradictions between them, repairing what blocks a crawler, and documenting a baseline so anyone can tell later whether it moved. That is operations discipline pointed at visibility.

    It is also why the honest limits get stated up front. Search engines and AI systems control their own indexing, so no ranking or citation is ever guaranteed here. What is guaranteed is the itemized work, performed to professional standard, measured against a baseline written down before anything started.

    The methodology is public. Every post on this site is written from delivered engagements rather than from secondary research, which is the only credential available in a field that has no certifying body.

    Owner-operated from Phoenix, Arizona, serving clients nationally. The person who scopes the engagement is the person who does the work.

    SEO, AEO, and GEO Foundations from $7,500. FAA Part 107 certified. $10M liability coverage. Owner-operated studio based in Phoenix, Arizona.

    What We Build

    Four Lanes. One Standard.

    One studio across all four. The primary focus is the operations side of search and AI visibility. Each lane also stands on its own, with its own scope and its own pricing. SEO / AEO / GEO Foundations from $7,500, monthly plans from $1,000. Brand Foundations from $10,000, full Brand Systems $18,000 to $60,000. Custom Websites from $1,500. Cinematic Websites from $5,000. Immersive / 3D from $12,000. Production from $1,500.

    The Flagship

    Cinematic Brand System

    The end-to-end build for businesses whose digital presence is meaningfully smaller than their operational reality. Diagnosed, documented, and built to compound.

    Diagnosed. Documented. Built to compound.

    Most brand work is treated as a project. Open, close, deliver, move on. A Cinematic Brand System is treated as infrastructure. Diagnosed against the specific gaps in your market position, documented before production begins, and built to compound authority through month twelve and beyond.

    Brand Foundations begin at $10,000. Full production-and-web Brand Systems typically range from $18,000 to $60,000, scoped against a paid Gap Diagnosis (from $750, credited toward a Brand System booked within 30 days).

    How We Think

    The Most Expensive Invisible Problem in Premium Business.

    Most premium businesses lose money quietly every month. Not from bad operations, but from a brand environment that signals a lower tier than they actually deliver. The cost is silent: discount shoppers, unqualified inquiries, deals lost to less-capable competitors who simply look more established online.

    We diagnose where that gap is widest in your specific business, document its dollar impact, and build the connected system (capture, presence, AEO/GEO) that closes it. Not templates. Not packages. A diagnosed, documented, owned system.

    The work is not for everyone. It is for businesses that already operate at a premium tier in real life and need their online presence to catch up to reality.

    How We Work

    From Diagnosis to Compounding System

    Every business is different. The diagnostic process stays consistent.

    01

    Diagnose

    Seven-category gap diagnosis. Documented before scope is finalized. You see exactly what we see before any work begins.

    02

    Capture

    Aerial, FPV, and ground production shot against the documented gaps. No generic shot lists. No template scopes.

    03

    Presence

    Custom site and SEO/AEO/GEO infrastructure engineered to close the specific perception gaps surfaced in the diagnosis.

    04

    Compound

    Launch is the start, not the end. The system is built to compound visibility, authority, and inbound quality over the following 24 months.
