HVAC contractors

SEO for HVAC contractors

This is the one trade on this list where we can point at a client instead of at a keyword. RF Specialist runs residential and commercial HVAC across the northwest Houston corridor, and we built and run their site.

    Residential and commercial HVAC service across the northwest Houston corridor.

An HVAC search in August is not an HVAC search in February

Summer searches are emergencies: the unit is dead, the house is 95 degrees, and the customer calls whoever appears first and answers. Winter searches are maintenance and replacement — considered, price-compared, weeks long. One site has to serve both, which means the emergency path is a tappable phone number above the fold and the replacement path is a page that survives being read twice.

What the work looks like

  • A page per service area, named the way people say them: Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Tomball
  • Repair and replacement separated, because the buyer is not the same person
  • Brand pages where the contractor is authorised, since a Carrier dealer search is its own search
  • Seasonal content published before the season rather than during it
  • Call tracking, because in this trade the conversion is a phone call and not a form

What we learned running one

That the emergency traffic is worth less than it looks and the maintenance-plan traffic is worth more. An emergency call is one job from a customer who will search again next time; a maintenance plan is a relationship. The site should push the second one even though the first one is what people search for.
