Meet the founder

Steve DeFalco
Founder & CEO
Steve DeFalco is the founder of 1UP Media Solutions LLC, an Omaha, Nebraska digital marketing agency that positions itself around predictable, trackable customer acquisition for home-services businesses. The public founder story on the site is brief; most of the copy focuses on the agency's methodology and client testimonials rather than DeFalco's personal background. What the site does state is that the team has spent roughly 18 years working in online marketing, and that the experience of watching business owners pour budget into programs that failed to produce measurable customers shaped the firm's core thesis: marketing spend should be tied to a positive ROI and to on-demand lead flow, not to impressions or vanity metrics.
That thesis drives the agency's packaging. Rather than selling discrete services, 1UP frames its work as a three-step system — Target, Automate, Monetize — built to generate a consistent monthly revenue stream and to keep customers returning through database-driven follow-up. DeFalco and a colleague referenced in testimonials, Sean, are both named in client recommendations around SEO, social, and lead generation, suggesting a small hands-on team rather than a layered account structure.
The agency's client roster skews toward home services and local operators, including Heroes Holiday Lighting (an Omaha company whose umbrella business also covers landscaping and Mosquito Shield), alongside photography, networking, and travel clients. While 1UP is not exclusively a landscape and lawn care shop, its Omaha base and home-services orientation give it practical exposure to seasonal outdoor-services marketing, which is the lens most relevant to this directory.
Editorial
Editor’s take
1UP positions itself around predictable customer acquisition and lead automation for home-services verticals. The site emphasizes systematic ROI and recurring revenue claims, though specific case-study metrics are not displayed on the homepage. Testimonials reference SEO, video, and social media work, but the site reads as generalist within home services rather than narrowly specialized.
What they do
Services
Search Engine Optimization
Local and organic SEO aimed at landscape and lawn care operators who need to rank for service-plus-city queries (lawn care Omaha, holiday lighting installation near me). The agency frames SEO as a lead-generation channel tied to tracked phone calls and form fills rather than keyword rankings in isolation.
Web Design and Replatforming
WordPress builds and migrations off platforms like Drupal and SmugMug, with a stated focus on information architecture and conversion optimization. For seasonal home-services clients, this means service-area pages, clear seasonal CTAs, and structures that can be updated as offerings rotate between lawn care, mosquito control, and holiday lighting.
Paid Search and Lead Generation
Paid acquisition campaigns positioned under the agency's 'Target' pillar, meant to put home-services offers in front of in-market local buyers. Results are framed in cost-per-customer terms rather than clicks or impressions.
Marketing Automation and Follow-Up Systems
The 'Automate' pillar of 1UP's system: email sequences and database-driven nurture flows designed to convert inbound leads into booked jobs and to resell existing customers across seasonal services such as lawn maintenance, mosquito treatment, and holiday lighting.
Conversion Rate Optimization
CRO is bundled into most redesign engagements, with the site referencing conversion optimization on multiple case studies. The focus is on turning existing site traffic into quote requests for home-services operators without requiring additional ad spend.
Call Tracking and Attribution
Call tracking is offered alongside SEO and web work so that home-services clients can attribute phone leads back to specific channels, which matters for lawn and landscape businesses where the majority of bookings still come by phone.
