Video that sells
Production, client interviews for YouTube and your site, Reels, Shorts, TikTok and customer review videos. One shoot becomes dozens of AI-cut variations.

I break build internet things.
I'm Matt Hagens, co-founder of Hagens Media. For 20 years I've built the websites, apps, video and ad funnels that bring in traffic and turn it into customers. My clients range from Fortune 500 brands to the restaurant down the street.

$ cd ~/how-it-works
Somebody sees your ad. Then what?
They Google you, check your reviews, place an order, show up, and hopefully come back. Most businesses hire a different company for every one of those steps, and customers slip through the cracks between them. I'd rather own the whole trip myself.
- 01
Get noticed
I shoot the video and run the ads that stop the scroll on Reels, Shorts, TikTok, or wherever your people actually hang out.
- 02
Get found
When someone Googles you or asks ChatGPT, you should be the answer. I handle the SEO and clean up your Google and Apple listings.
- 03
Win the click
A slow site or a two-star review loses the sale before you even know it happened. I fix both.
- 04
Make buying easy
Landing pages and online ordering that don't make anyone think. Fewer taps, more orders.
- 05
Ring it up
I set up the POS, CRM and payments so every order actually lands and gets counted.
- 06
Run the room
Menu boards, guest WiFi, the network. The stuff nobody notices until it breaks.
- 07
Bring 'em back
Retargeting, emails and a well-timed review ask. That's how a first visit turns into a regular.

Automate the ordinary. Build the extraordinary.
Through Hagens Media I plan, build and run everything a business needs to grow online, and the systems in the store that keep it running.
Search & local presence
Search intent mapping, content planning, structured content for AI indexing, Google and Apple listings, and reputation management.
Paid ads, funnels & social
Campaigns built across platforms, remarketing, email drips, and reporting tied to revenue, not clicks.
Conversion optimization
Conversion design, landing page structure and messaging, behavioral insights, and A/B testing.
Websites & apps
Sites coded from scratch, web apps, iPhone and Android apps, WordPress plugins and browser extensions.
Restaurants & Toast POS
Toast setup, menus and modifiers, Olo and delivery apps, networks, failover internet and guest WiFi.
Digital menus & screens
Menu boards for restaurants and QSR through YaScreen, with up to 10 screens free.
POS, CRM & IT support
Installation and integration of the systems behind the sale, plus IT and network support when things break.
