  • Locating and auditing existing business citations across online directories like Google My Business, Yelp, Facebook, Angie’s List, and more (including industry-specific directories)
  • Optimize your HVAC company’s Google My Business page, including regular check-ins throughout the month on your business address and service area, phone number, maps listing, business hours, questions and answers, reviews, and more
  • Discover new opportunities to create more business citations, manage verified citations, and monitor local directories and backlink opportunities to build topical authority in your HVAC SEO campaign

5WEBSITE SPEED

  • Optimizing large image files and other visual elements slowing down your website’s load time
  • Leveraging best-in-class website hosting environments and server caching built to enhance your website’s speed
  • Editing your website’s code to defer third-party scripts and other elements slowing your website down

Why SEO Is the Best HVAC Marketing Strategy?

Why is SEO the best HVAC marketing strategy? Each month, customers in the U.S. perform almost 500,000 online searches for HVAC services. Considering more than 90% of searchers click on the first page of the search results, if your HVAC company doesn’t pop up on the first page for your target keywords, you’re losing business—guaranteed.

Search engine optimization for HVAC companies is one of the best ways to advertise your business because ranking at the top of search engines means you can connect with those homeowners at the moment they’re searching for your services online. 

What It Takes To Outrank Your Competitors in Search Engines

If you want to outrank your competitors in search engines, you need to accomplish three things:

  1. Your website code and structure needs to be easy for search engines to find, read, index, and rank (Learn about our HVAC website development services).
  2. Your onsite content (copy/text) must establish your company as an authority in the HVAC industry.
  3. Your offsite factors (ex. links from other authoritative sites) must be optimized to establish and reinforce your site’s authority.

To accomplish that, our SEO specialists focus on:

If you’re like most HVAC contractors, you probably get 20 emails a day promising to do the things above. Like most things in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it typically is (after all—think about what your competitors promise your clients!)!

We specialize in SEO for HVAC contractors, which means we know more about the HVAC SEO than virtually any other digital marketing company!

SEO for HVAC Contractors: Our Process in More Detail

Step 1: Comprehensive Website Tracking & SEO Audit

You can’t maximize what you don’t (accurately) measure. Accurate tracking is the foundation of every HVAC marketing service Blue Corona provides. We market our clients’ businesses as if we owned them ourselves. To provide you with intelligent decisions about your advertising, marketing, SEO, and website, we must first evaluate your marketing the same way a great accountant would review your financials. Most SEO companies brag about rankings and traffic. Guess what? Neither of these metrics matters if you do not see increased booked jobs, revenue, and profit from organic searches (for keywords and search terms other than your company name!).

for hvac seo success, calculate ROI

SEO marketing for HVAC contractors is a zero-sum game, which means that for your website to move higher up in the organic search results, you must leapfrog websites that are currently perceived to be better optimized than your site. One of the most common questions heating and air conditioning companies ask us is, “how much SEO do I need?” You can’t (intelligently) answer this question without first doing a thorough analysis of the other HVAC companies in your area.

A typical SEO audit and digital competitive analysis includes:

  • A business intake so that our account managers see your business from the owner’s perspective
  • Analytics and SEO software implementation (we use a set of tools no other HVAC SEO company has—it’s the only SEO software specially designed for the HVAC industry!)
  • Keyword research and identification
  • Competitor analysis
  • Analysis and evaluation of your website code, structure, and content
  • Analysis and evaluation of your company’s entire presence online—paid, organic, social, and more

The output of our digital competitive analysis is an overview report and SEO strategy.

Step 2: Foundational, Technical SEO Improvements to Your HVAC Website

Armed with the data derived from the digital competitive analysis, the second step in the SEO process is to make any technical SEO improvements required to facilitate your ongoing success.

Here’s how technical SEO for HVAC companies works: Google uses robots to crawl website pages, looking for clues as to what it’s about. By adding in certain technical aspects, you’re helping the robots understand your page a bit better.

Think of it this way: Search engine robots speak a different language than we do—HTML. It’s like having someone who speaks Russian determine what a web page in English is about. The technical bits we add are written in a language the search engines understand, like adding subtitles. 

you need a mobile friendly HVAC website design from an HVAC website company because 64% of searches for HVAC happen on mobile

For example, to rank well on Google, you need a mobile-friendly website. That means before we can start creating amazing content, we need to make your website responsive.

Although every situation is unique, foundational improvements include things like:

  • Revising your website’s title tags and meta descriptions
  • Renaming various web pages
  • Restructuring your website files
  • Improving your site speed (load speed is a known ranking factor),
  • Recoding your website onto a content management system (CMS)

Step 3: Content Creation and Content Marketing 

With the right foundation in place, and armed right keywords, the next step in the SEO process is to update the content on your website and, when necessary, create new website pages. Contrary to what you might think, Google doesn’t rank websites—it ranks web pages. Each page of content on your site allows you to rank for a specific set of relevant keywords.

seo for hvac contractors include blogging as blogs increase search visibility by 434%

It might be helpful to think of your website as if it were a fishing boat, each page of content is like a baited line thrown into the internet sea of fish. More lines in the water (pages on your website) equals more fish (visits, leads, and sales!)! The content of your website must be targeted to your top keywords, but it also must establish your company as THE heating and cooling authority.

Most HVAC contractors hate creating website copy! That’s okay—Blue Corona has professional copywriters who specialize in creating unique, original, relevant, and authoritative content specifically for the HVAC industries.

Step 4: Optimization of Offsite Factors and Local SEO

The final step in the SEO process is to optimize your overall footprint on the web, starting with your Google My Business page.

Most homeowners and property managers want an HVAC contractor that’s local to the area. When consumers make geographically related searches like “AC repair near me” or “HVAC company in [city, state],” Google and other search engines show what’s called the local pack (otherwise known as map listings):

seo for hvac companies: search engine optimization

To get in the local pack, you need a flawless Google My Business page. With our local SEO services, we’ll do it for you and make sure it’s continually updated with the latest information.

OTHER OFFSITE FACTORS

A part of building authority offsite includes generating links back to your website. Think of links from other authoritative websites (manufacturers’ pages, local chambers of commerce, or the BBB) as votes of authority or digital recommendations. More links from high-authority sites equal more search engine visibility; however, you must recognize that not all links are created equal!

Buying links with the intent to manipulate Google’s ranking algorithms is forbidden and doing so can get your website banned from the search rankings. The right way to attract links to your website is to earn them by creating unique and remarkable content—content that is truly valuable to your prospective customers!

Be Wary of HVAC SEO Scams!

seo for plumbing companies and HVAC webmastersNot all HVAC SEO companies live up to their promises of more traffic, better rankings, and more leads. Some SEO firms achieve results, but they do so using “black-hat SEO” techniques. These unethical strategies can hurt your HVAC SEO and rankings—and ultimately, your HVAC business.

Before selecting an SEO company for your company, make sure to ask the following questions:

  1. “Do you adhere to search engine webmaster guidelines?”
  2. “How do you determine SEO success?” At Blue Corona, we always determine SEO success by increased leads—not rankings or traffic. Who cares if you’re getting more website traffic if it’s traffic from China and you’re a local contractor in Charlotte, NC!
  3. “What happens if/when we part ways?” Many companies don’t let you keep your website or content—you’re merely renting it from them.
