Who Systemized Media Is
Systemized Media is a lead generation marketing company built specifically for HVAC, Roofing, and Home Service owners who are looking for a dynamic system to help scale their existing operations. Our primary goal here is to help companies achieve consistent, measurable growth with continued 1-on-1 support and guidance from our team every step of the way.
As many of you reading this likely know, the home services vertical is not easy to serve well (emphasis on well). Things have changed quite a bit when it comes to what it takes to grow in this industry.
Shared leads and strategies that don’t immediately connect back to consistently booked jobs and ROI just aren’t working for most businesses anymore.
This has shaped the way we operate and approach our work. Lead generation systems and growth plans that are specifically adapted to the reality of the industry in any given moment are key to serving our clients effectively.
Using our own results database to understand the nature of each local market across different industries gives us unique insight into what is actually getting our clients the consistent growth they’re looking for, year after year. It allows us to proactively shift our campaign strategies before the market demands it.
We are truly invested in our clients’ growth, and we do our best to make sure our services reflect our commitment to their success.
This has always been central to how we serve our clients because our founder, Lyle Horst, is an HVAC owner himself.
How We Started
Our founder, Lyle Horst, actually started out as a refrigeration tech before building Systemized Media. This experience gave him a real inside look into where exactly Home Service companies were struggling to maintain their momentum.
He had a plan to help companies see continued, consistent growth, and he saw it through by creating a system specifically designed to make that happen. His vision didn’t end here, though.
After he founded Systemized Media, he set out to prove just how well our system and strategies actually worked. Starting out with just 2 guys and 1 truck, Lyle personally invested in and became a co-owner of TopLine Heating & Air with his buddy Sam.
Using nothing more than the same systems we use for our clients, Systemized Media helped scale TopLine Heating & Air to $70M+ in annual revenue in its first 5 years, along with 400+ employees and 225 trucks on the road.
This is why we believe our approach to lead generation in this industry is quite unique. While it’s certainly important to look at campaign performance from inside an ad account, it’s equally as important to understand first-hand what happens after a lead comes in.
Was the homeowner actually qualified? How fast did the team call? How many times have we followed up with them? Did the inquiry match the job and offer type? Was the appointment booked? Did the comfort advisor or estimator have the right context? Did the job close? Did the revenue justify the spend?
The answers to these questions became a baseline for the way we operate and measure our clients’ success.
TopLine gives us a clear view of the operational side of growth, and it also makes us more careful with the promises we make to business owners. We prioritize helping our clients scale in a way they can actually make the most of.
Who We Help
We work exclusively with residential Home Service companies that are looking to scale and in the position to take on more install and replacement volume.
Some of the industries we work with include:
- HVAC
- Roofing
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Garage door installation
- Epoxy flooring
- Fencing
- Foundations
- Window and door installation
- Landscaping
What most of these specific industries have in common is a focus on higher ticket jobs. This focus works particularly well for paid social media campaigns because the return on investment more immediately justifies the spend.
For example, just 1 install or replacement each month would cover both ad spend and management fees, plus additional returns on top. But it’s important to remember that paid social campaigns take time, consistency, and effort.
Our strongest partnerships are with owners who have a clear idea of where they want the business to go, who have the internal infrastructure to make it happen and are dedicated to following and trusting our entire process.
Here’s a great example of what can happen when our clients are all-in:
We respect every stage of a company’s growth because we know first-hand the unique pressures that come with each one. Our goal is to help build the lead generation system that gets clients to their next stage.
What We Do Differently
Our work is built around the full path from homeowner interest to long-term business growth. We’re both Meta and TikTok Partner Badge certified, and we make a point to keep up with these certifications in order to better serve our clients.
We are fully invested in their success in both the short-term and long-term, and we take great care to make sure our services reflect this.
We prioritize:
- High-intent acquisition: Our goal is to get clients in front of homeowners within their service area who are more likely to need installs, replacements, or larger Home Service projects.
- Exclusive leads: The custom campaigns we create for our clients connect homeowners directly to their business in-real-time. NEVER into a shared lead environment.
- Follow-up systems: We help prevent opportunities from slipping through the cracks by building custom automations and effective outreach messaging.
- Weekly tracking and reporting: Our clients receive weekly reports that detail the most important metrics, such as campaign activity, booked appointments, installed revenue, return on investment per platform, average cost per lead by campaign, and total leads generated.
- Creative and offer testing: We monitor and adjust campaigns based on what homeowners in each market are responding to right now.
- 1:1 Client support: All of our clients have a dedicated Client Success Manager and a dedicated Ads Account Manager to support them every step of the way.
The systems we’ve built are geared more towards the full revenue process than standard lead generation services. We make a point to track every variable because the decisions we make alongside our clients need to be truly informed by the data.
When we see that something is off, we do not treat it as someone else’s problem. We know where to look for the gap and then work with our clients to fix it.
We do run ads, build campaigns, and track cost per lead, but we recognize that the amount of leads a campaign produces is only one part of the picture.
The targeting, creative, follow-up, reporting, and client communication all need to work together, or else the additional lead volume can end up creating more stress without creating enough revenue.
Generating leads simply for the sake of it would be a disservice to all of our hardworking clients who trust us with the growth of their businesses.
We want to help the right companies create more usable opportunities, with enough structure behind them to turn the increased demand we generate into revenue.
Why This Award Belongs to Our Clients and Team
This recognition belongs just as much to our clients as it does to us. The best campaign in the world will almost always lead to a dead end without an owner and team willing to do the work on the other side of it.
The effort they put in every single day is both inspirational and vital.
We also know this award reflects the people inside Systemized Media. Putting everything else aside, our team is made up of people who genuinely LOVE the work that we do and show up every day to keep learning, growing, and building alongside our clients.
To the client success team, your ability to build lasting relationships, anticipate client needs, and turn challenges into solutions is truly unparalleled.
To the operations and support teams, your behind-the-scenes dedication keeps everything moving smoothly and makes so much of our success possible.
To the ad accounts team, your ability to manage complexity, optimize performance, and drive meaningful results is beyond invaluable.
To the leadership team, your guidance and steady support continue to inspire and empower the entire organization, propelling us forward into each new phase of our journey.
To the sales team, your drive, persistence, and ability to build meaningful connections continue to open new doors and fuel our growth.
While most of our work doesn’t happen publicly, it’s the reason clients stay with us, and it’s how we are able to help Home Service companies grow in a way that is more consistent and more aligned with each clients’ unique business model and financial goals.
What Comes Next for Systemized Media
Home Service companies are operating in a more competitive market every year, and business owners are seeing that clearly across the trades. Things are changing fast in every industry and every market.
In the midst of these rapid changes, Systemized Media’s mission is to remain the constant. We are in it for the long-haul and intend to continue investing our time, team, and resources into our clients’ growth and success.
We are grateful for the BusinessRate Best of 2026 recognition, and we are even more grateful for the opportunity to keep serving the business owners who are building the future of the Home Service industry.
To every client, partner, and team member who helped make this possible: Thank you. We would not be here without you.
And to the Home Service owners reading this who are in a season where more predictable install, replacement, or project volume could help push your business into its next stage of growth, we’d be glad to talk through what that could look like for your company.
