Long Island video marketing shot where your customers already are

From the boats going out of Port Jefferson to the offices on Route 110, people out here decide who to call by watching rather than reading. We animate it, fly it or shoot it on the island, then cut it down for the site, the listing and whatever you are already running.

Free, and we read it ourselves. No pitch, no obligation, and 805.243.8321 if you would rather talk.

2 Counties Nassau and Suffolk, door to door 3 Ways in Animated, flown, or on a gimbal 30+ Years in business Serving the web community No Contracts Nothing to sign, nothing to cancel

Three ways to get a video made. The island usually picks one of them.

Not every business wants a camera on site, and plenty out here would rather we never turned up in the middle of a job. We tell you which of the three fits before anybody books a day.

Animated: Animation and mascots

The one we get asked for most, and the only one that does not care that it is February and blowing off the Sound. We build the character with our own tools and animate it here: your own if you have one, a new one if you do not.

Flown: Drone and aerial

A boat leaving the harbour, a roof going on, forty acres on the North Fork. Plenty out here only reads from above, and one licensed pass gives you the shot the rest of the video hangs off.

Walked: Gimbal and motion

A stabilised walk down a line in Hauppauge or through a showroom on Route 110. It moves the way your customer would move if that customer were standing in the room, which is what makes a real place feel real.

Animation is the one we get asked for most and it is not the only one we do. For a lot of trades out here the honest answer is the drone, and we will say so.

  • We are very pleased with the website that the team at the Final Code created for us and with the training they provided on how to control our site. Our customers are also impressed with our site and comment on how good it looks.

  • I started my business about 6 months ago and couldn't get my key words anywhere in search engines after burning through a few hundred dollars trying google adwords with no results I went to the Final Code. Now I am on page one or two of every category I am attempting and moving up all of they time. Larry and his crew teach you what you need to maintain a competitive web site that brings results. They are fun to work with. You could spend thousands on an outside company to optimize your website of a fraction of that with Final Code and learn how to do it yourself. Highly recommend them

  • This company saved my sanity! I was looking for a company that allowed me to have the freedom to do what I needed/wanted to do with my website and also offer excellent customer service. I struck gold! The Final Code team is super supportive. They never leave me hanging if I have questions or need assistance. Their software allows me complete control of our site. It has made having a website fun again! I would highly recommend them!

  • Several web companies have created and hosted my website over the last 20 years. Never before have I received the service, support, and training that The Final Code provides. They respond immediately to my needs and sincerely want me to succeed. The Final Code has designed my site so that I have access to all my pages. I am able to make immediate changes to the text and images, whenever I desire. I love playing with my beautiful website and I love the Final Code for making it possible!!! PS I am grateful for the great response to my site from new clients. People are finally finding me because of The Final Code's SEO.

  • Everyone at The Final Code has been so helpful .. Larry is always just a phone call away. Not being very computer savvy I am always relieved that Larry is willing and able to make the changes and additions to my website keeping all of my Surfcat Cafe & Adoptions followers up to date. As a nonprofit we were very grateful that they were understanding about our financial situation and were very reasonably priced. Thanks Final Code!! Leslie Weiss Surfcat Cafe & Adoptions

  • In our line of work we get SEO/Web Marketing calls all day and to say the least my least favorite of calls. However We have been working with the Final Code for Almost 2 years now and they are top notch in customer service and know exactly what they are doing. My SEO Stats prior to the final code i thought was impressive for a small company of our nature, however after the final code.. WOW. My numbers have almost tripled this year alone and the business reflects those numbers. The team at the final code is top notch and extremely friendly. With their web code program i can go in and create, edit and screw up any page of my website in a flash (not recommended!) and the best part is these guys are always right on the button to fix my mistakes same day. We have had a great working relationship and if you truly want Free Google Placing, SEO tracking and of course local 805 business they are the guys to contact. We highly recommend them!

  • Working with Larry and the rest of The Final Code team has been fantastic! We originally had our website built by an independent web developer and it was a nightmare dragging on for months. It got to the point where we fired the guy and started looking for a professional web development company to finish the project. We found The Final Code and from the very beginning the process went so smoothly and the website was up and running in just weeks! I’ve worked for and with other web development agencies before and by far The Final Code has exceeded all my expectations – very professional, quick turnaround times, and Larry was beyond knowledgeable on building the best website to attract the most traffic. The best part was how the website was built so I can maintain it myself and Larry is there to teach me all that I need to know. I highly recommend The Final Code for all your website needs!

    Molly Carroll Google review, Feb 19, 2016
  • I was referred to The Final Code by a support person at Xero Accounting, an online accounting app I use and support for clients. I had a website up and running for over 2 years, and knew that little or no search traffic was driven to the site, datapro.la. I spoke first to Larry Murphy, and then with Carlo Godoy and James Nisky. They spent a good deal of time with me, going over what they offer, and after takig a look at my existing site, made some recommendations. I am quite computer-literate, but website-dumb. They were patient with me, explaining until I had a good preliminary understanding. Feeling that I was in good hands, I decided to move forward with them redoing, and educating me on how to redo what I could to the website. A great decision on my part, as this group has come through for me in a spectacular fashion. Although not complete, as ongoing tweaking by me, with their assistance, to optimize content, add blog material, etc., datapro.la has a much more professional look and feel, and more importantly, has added what it takes to drive traffic to the website. I cannot fully describe how very happy, and confident, I am dealing with this group. I know they have my back, and are very responsive to questions and requests. Stupid cliche, buy you are in good hands with The Final Code. It is a great feeling to know this is true.

  • Everyone at The Final Code has been fantastic. I own a small beekeeping company. Almost all of my business comes from people google searching beekeepers, due to the nature of the trade. Initially I hired a company for $1200 who promised they could get me to the top of google. It was one guy working out of a library. He claimed it would be easy. I needed the work done in six months. He informed me that his method was a secret, and that he used hidden back links to boost my website. Eight months and $1200 later I was congratulated on reaching the fifth page on google, and the first page on bing. Not only was I out the $1200, but I also lost a year of revenue. I started taking work from my biggest competitors to get by since my phone was not ringing. They were getting all of the business in the area since my SEO guy failed. They were receiving twenty to fifty calls per day. I was lucky to even get one. In a final desperate move I asked The Final Code for help. The Final Code was very different than the previous company. I walked into their office. They offered no secret back links, no empty promises. They laid out everything they were going to do, and everything I had to do to improve my results. Within two months I had several key words on not only the front page of google, but a few of them were the top search result, and they had reports which allowed me to see all the key words I need to improve upon to continue growing. The difference in my business has been incredible. I went from nearly going bankrupt in December to hiring my first employee in June, and I am completely overwhelmed with business. The Final Code saved my business. I really can't thank them enough. To top it all off Larry and Amber have been a genuine pleasure to work with. I can't recommend them enough.

  • The Final Code was very patient in trying to fulfill all my requests. Carlo worked with me to set up my website for my tax preparation business and he also provided a good training session to manage my website. I feel confident in using my website and I know I can come to ask Carlo if I have any questions.

  • My wife and I operate a company in Ventura County which provides assorted janitorial and commercial cleaning services. We contacted The Final Code because we had several existing websites and various online listings ran by several different people. Our online presence was a mess and were paying a web company for services we couldn't necessarily verify, we couldn't manage our own website if we wanted, we weren't sure if people were visiting our site and it wasn't a great feeling. We met with The Final Code to help us tie up all of those loose ends, built a new website for our company to attract more users to help generate more business. Thankfully, The Final Code was understanding and was able to work within our budget. We now have these issues resolved and the new site is climbing the Google rankings weekly and is now a page one on several main search terms. We received a lot of of valuable advice on SEO, search engine optimization, and they continue to work with us to progress upward in our online presence. I appreciate that The Final Code staff has been so patient and they are always available whenever we have questions or concerns. They have also trained us on how to update and edit our site so that we are free to make changes when necessary. One of the best parts of working with them is that I'm able to walk into their office and know I will be taken care of. This year The Final Code is building several new websites for separate organizations of ours and we're excited to continue collaborating with The Final Code! Thanks everybody for making our company online presence successful and helping to increase business

  • Through my experience, web marketing companies are like used car salesmen... Thousands to choose from, difficult to trust, and are filled with empty promises. The Final Code is exactly the OPPOSITE! Larry, James, and Carlo are always fantastic to work with and know their business inside and out. From SEO to web marketing tactics, I trust them completely with the online presence of my company. They take their time to personally make sure that I am happy with their service and provide REAL statistics (not just Google analytics) behind any changes made to our site They provide valuable insight and ideas on how to grow your online presence and then can execute those ideas immediately (or train you on how to make changes yourself)!. The interface that accompanies their service is easy to use and gives you access to change / update anything that you would ever want to. I highly recommend The Final Code for any of your SEO / Web Marketing needs.

  • Larry and the team at The Final Code in Ventura literally breathed life back into my business. At the time I hired The Final Code, I had invested thousands of dollars in ongoing website “optimization” with another company. Despite that effort, my law office website was nowhere to be found when it came to the core of my practice – potential clients searching for either criminal defense attorneys or DUI attorneys in my local area. As soon as The Final Code took over care of my website applying their innovative approach, I experienced a dramatic increase in the number of calls I received for DUI and all other criminal cases. I not only skyrocketed to the very top of DUI searches, I have maintained a consistent, top-ranked placement over the last six months. The Final Code team has a passion for helping clients that is evident in all they do. Larry, Carlo, James and team were always at the top of their game and, I felt, sincerely committed to helping me achieve real results. They went out of their way at all points to help me through the process, to aggressively make results-oriented changes, and to communicate with me in a way that made me feel valued as a client. Most importantly to me as a client, everyone at The Final Code conveyed to me that they truly cared about the welfare of my business and did so in an ongoing way. Recognizing the ever changing nature of internet marketing, the team at The Final Code has gone out of their way to keep my website fresh and at the top through expert monitoring and continual innovation. In the website business, the professionals at The Final Code are people of honor and that’s saying a lot. I whole-heartedly recommend The Final Code. You can trust the team to get you the results you want and to do so with dedication and integrity.

What we end up shooting out here. It is rarely a studio.

Long Island is a working island: trades, boats, warehouses and main streets. The video that gets watched is the one shot where the work actually happens, and most of that is outdoors and on somebody's schedule.

  • Port Jefferson · from the air

    A charter pulling out past the ferry, shot from above and cut to fifteen seconds. Nothing sells a day on the water like the water.

  • Bohemia · on site

    The yard, the equipment, the crew at seven in the morning. People buying construction want to see a real operation, not a stock photograph of a hard hat.

  • Hauppauge · on a gimbal

    One steady pass down the floor in the largest industrial park in the Northeast. For a manufacturer that does what a spec sheet has never managed.

  • Melville · the people

    Route 110 is offices, and an office is bought on who answers the phone. So we film the people rather than the lobby.

  • The North Fork · from the air

    Rows, water, and a tasting room at the end of them. A day out east gets decided weeks before anybody puts it in the car.

  • The East End · before and after

    A pool, a build, a landscape. Two aerial passes months apart is the most persuasive thing a trade out here can own.

We live here. That is the difference between a shoot that fits around your week and one that costs you a whole day waiting on somebody's flight to land.

Give your brand a face people remember.

Every character here was built and animated in house. It is the one option that does not need anybody standing outside in January.

Watch what he has to say.

The owner of Primary Pool Services, in his own words. We did not tell him a word of it.

The proof

This one is a pool company on the other coast the work is the same, and the ledger is real

Primary Pool Services is in Ventura County, not Nassau. We are not going to dress somebody else's numbers up as a Long Island case study. What is worth your time is what happened: they already had a mascot, we animated it, put the video where their customers were, and the phone changed.

Read the Primary Pools case study 400% growth in 15 months The Primary Pools page shows the working.

The ones who watch are the ones who stay. Google counts that.

Somebody searching for a contractor in Suffolk is not reading four pages of copy. That customer is scanning, deciding in a moment, and going back to the results. Give the same page something to watch and the visit stops being a bounce.

Dwell time is how long somebody stays before returning to search, and it is one of the ways Google works out whether a page actually answered the question. On a competitive local term (and out here every trade term is competitive), that is not a small edge.

The video pays a second time as well. A transcript, captions and proper markup mean the words spoken in it are indexed like the rest of the page, so one production both holds your customer and gives search more to read.

A page of specs
A contractor scans it, decides it tells him nothing, and goes back to the list.
The same page, with the yard on it
He watches the walk-through, and by the end he knows who he is calling.
Search treats that gap as evidence the page answered the question, which on a trade term out here is the difference between page one and page two.

Put the harbour at the top of the page. Not another paragraph.

A hero that moves does the introduction a paragraph cannot. Before a word is read, the page has already shown the yard, the boat, the floor or the crew, and said what kind of outfit this is.

That matters more here than most places, because half the businesses on this island look identical on paper. Two roofers, two charters, two machine shops, the same three certifications. The one that shows the work is the one that gets the call.

And it is cheap as upgrades go. No rebuild, no new copy, nothing shuffled around. One thing at the top of the page starts moving, and the rest stays where it is.

Two roofers with the same certifications look identical in text. One of them has the job on screen.

If you want it from the top

What video marketing actually involves

A minute on the work itself, for anyone who would rather watch than read the rest of this.

What lands in your inbox first and it costs you nothing

Four things, written down. Take them to whoever shoots for you now if you would rather. It is still useful.

Which of the three fits

Whether your story is better animated, flown or walked, and for a lot of Long Island trades the honest answer is the drone.

Where the camera goes

The yard, the harbour, the floor or the counter, with the day mapped so a shoot costs you a morning rather than a week.

Where every cut goes

One shoot, cut for the website, the map listing and every feed you run, so nothing gets billed twice.

What it takes to make

The order the work happens in and the hours against each part, so the number is in front of you before you commit to any of it.

No contract, nothing to cancel. You get the number before you commit to it, and it does not move quietly afterwards.

Want to know what a video would do for a Long Island business like yours?

Give us the address and we go through the site: which pages are doing the selling, and what putting a video on them would move.

  • Which of the three fits, and whether the drone is even legal at your address.
  • Where the camera goes, and how little of your week it costs.
  • The work in the order it has to happen, with the hours scoped.

No pitch, no obligation, and nothing to sign. Or call 805.243.8321 and ask us straight out.

What people out here ask before they say yes.

Do you actually come out here, or is this remote?

We are on Long Island. Somebody drives to you, and nobody bills you for a flight or a hotel room. We keep an office in Ventura, California as well, which is why the rest of the site talks about two coasts, but this end of it is home.

Can you fly a drone over my property?

Where the airspace allows it. There is a lot of controlled airspace on this island (Islip, Republic and the smaller fields all throw rings across the map), so the first thing we do is check your actual address rather than promise a shot we cannot legally take. Where it is a no, the gimbal usually gets most of the way there.

Our season is four months long. Is it worth it?

That is an argument for it, not against it. A seasonal business is bought in the weeks before the season opens, by people looking at screens in March. One production shot in good weather carries the whole run and the two after it, which is a better use of a short season than starting from nothing every spring.

What does video marketing cost?

How long is a shoelace? Nobody can put a real number on this until they know what the video has to carry, where it will run, and how much of it you need. We work that out with you, then shape the job around it. We bill by the hour. No flat rate, no packages: a package is a price somebody set before they had met you or seen the yard.

Do we have to be on camera?

Not unless you want to be. Nobody has to appear and nothing has to be filmed on site, which matters on an island where a good half of the year is not shooting weather. It is the route most people here take.

Do we have to sign a contract?

Nothing to sign. No term, no notice period, nothing to get out of. You carry on while the work is paying for itself, and the month you judge it is not, you stop. We have never had to hold anyone to anything.

The Truth About Video On The Island

“Two roofers, two charters, two machine shops, the same three certifications. The one that shows the work is the one that gets the call.” The Final Code

We build it, fly it or shoot it on the island, and the same crew puts it on the site and into the channels. Nothing changes hands halfway, so nothing gets lost in the handover. Learn more at TheFinalCode.com.

It starts with a free evaluation. Video is one lane of the wider Long Island programme, alongside search, the map and the answers the AI engines give.
