Mediagistic Review
Tampa home-services and dealer marketing agency that buys TV, radio and direct mail alongside digital, with published starting prices
Quick verdict
Mediagistic is best for Established HVAC and home-services contractors and dealers, and the OEMs and distributors behind them, that want TV, radio, direct mail and digital from one agency. Pricing: Published starting prices: Service.ly from $249/mo; LeadBuilder from $3,500/mo; LeadBuilder Pro from $6,250/mo; MarketLeader from $8,750/mo; a la carte services such as Google Ads management $2,000/mo and direct mail $2,500 per drop. No minimum term is published. Full-service plans start at $3,500/month, and the pricing page does not state contract length or whether ad spend is included. Its traditional-media strength matters less to a small, search-driven shop.
About Mediagistic
Mediagistic is a Tampa, Florida marketing and advertising agency for the HVAC, home services and outdoor power equipment industries. It works with manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and local dealers and contractors in the US and Canada, and says it serves more than 1,000 dealers. According to its leadership page, Andre Carollo founded the company in 1999 as SportsOne, a sports marketing firm, and it later became Mediagistic with a home-services focus. Andre Carollo is still CEO, and the company says it has more than 120 employees and offices in Tampa and Miami.
What sets it apart from digital-only contractor agencies is that it buys traditional media as well. Its site lists linear TV and cable, OTT streaming TV, broadcast and digital radio, out-of-home, cinema, print and direct mail, alongside SEO, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, social media, content, websites and review management. Mediagistic displays a Google Premier Partner badge and offers a BusinessCenter dashboard that pulls campaign reporting into one place.
Unlike most agencies in this directory, Mediagistic publishes starting prices. Its pricing page lists Service.ly from $249/month for businesses under $1M in revenue, LeadBuilder from $3,500/month ($1M-$2M), LeadBuilder Pro from $6,250/month ($2M-$5M) and MarketLeader from $8,750/month ($5M and up). It also prices single services, such as Google Ads management at $2,000/month, Local Services Ads management at $750/month, social media at $925/month and direct mail at $2,500 per drop.
The trade-off: the full-service plans start at $3,500/month, which is a real commitment for a small shop, and the pricing page does not say whether ad spend is included or how long a contract runs. Ask for both in writing before you sign.
How it works
Pick a plan by business size from Mediagistic's pricing page (Service.ly, LeadBuilder, LeadBuilder Pro or MarketLeader) or add single services such as Google Ads, Local Services Ads, social media, OTT or direct mail. The LeadBuilder plans include a mobile website, Google Ads, map-pack SEO and directories, BusinessCenter reporting and a dedicated account team; MarketLeader adds a custom campaign strategy and integrated TV, streaming and programmatic campaigns. The pricing page does not state contract length or whether ad spend is included, so confirm both before signing.
Pros & cons
What works
-
Traditional and digital under one roof
Mediagistic buys TV, cable, streaming TV, radio, out-of-home, cinema, print and direct mail as well as running SEO, Google Ads, social and websites.
-

Its pricing page lists plans from $249/month (Service.ly) to $8,750/month (MarketLeader), plus prices for single services, so you can budget before a call.

Home-services and dealer focus
It focuses on HVAC, home services and outdoor power equipment, working with manufacturers, distributors and local dealers.

-
Long track record

What doesn't
-
Full-service plans start at $3,500/month
LeadBuilder starts at $3,500/month and MarketLeader at $8,750/month, which suits established contractors more than a one-truck startup.
-
Contract and ad-spend terms not published
The pricing page does not say how long a contract runs or whether ad spend is included in the plan price. Get both in writing.
-
Traditional media matters less for tiny shops
If your customers all find you through search, the TV, radio and direct mail buying that sets Mediagistic apart adds less value.
-
Broad industry mix
Besides home services it serves outdoor power equipment, franchises and national brands, so contractors share attention with larger clients.
