HVAC SEO and Google Maps
Most HVAC calls from search come from the Maps pack, the three listings with the map. We work on the things that decide who shows up there, and on the site behind it.
SEO for HVAC is mostly a Maps problem
Search "furnace repair" on a phone and the first thing you see after the ads is a map with three companies. Those three get most of the calls. Which three show up depends on your Business Profile, how close you are to the searcher, your reviews and how well your site backs up what the profile says.
Fruitful Local works on all of it: the profile, the service pages, the town pages and the links between them. SEO takes longer than ads to pay off, and keeps paying once you rank.
- Google Business Profile set up for each location
- A page for every service you want calls for
- Town pages with real local substance
- A plan to ask every happy customer for a review
How we work on HVAC SEO
-
Audit the profile
Categories, services, hours, service area, photos and posts. The primary category alone decides a lot of what you can rank for.
-
Build the service pages
AC repair, furnace repair, heat pumps, replacement, maintenance plans. One clear page each, each one answering what a homeowner wants to know.
-
Cover your towns
Pages for the places you want work from, with what is true about working there, not a find-and-replace of the town name.
-
Grow reviews steadily
A simple habit of asking after every good job. Steady new reviews beat a burst once a year.
-
Link it together
Services link to towns and towns to services, so Google and the reader can follow your coverage.
Where HVAC SEO goes wrong
Each links to a longer guide.
-
The Maps pack
What decides the three listings, and what you can change.
-
Slow-season content
Use the quiet months to build the pages that rank by peak season.
-
Paid and organic together
Ads cover the gap while SEO builds. The data from ads tells SEO what to target.
Questions we hear
How long does HVAC SEO take?
Months, not weeks. A profile fix can move Maps rankings fairly quickly. New pages take longer to rank, and a crowded metro takes longer than a small town.
Do we need a page for every town?
Only for towns you want work from and can say something real about. Thin pages that swap the town name hurt more than they help.
Can you rank us outside our office's area?
The Maps pack leans hard on distance from the searcher, so ranking in the Maps pack far from your address is hard. Your website can still rank in the regular results for towns you serve.
Will you write fake reviews?
No. Fake reviews break Google's rules and can get a profile suspended. We help you ask real customers at the right moment.
