What customers ask AI before they call.

People ask AI whether to repair or replace and what it should cost, often while they're sweating. Your free audit checks which companies get named for questions like these in your city.

  • Why is my AC blowing warm air?
  • Repair or replace a 15-year-old AC?
  • How much does a new furnace cost?
  • Who does same-day AC repair near me?
  • Is a heat pump worth it in my climate?

What we do for HVAC companies.

On top of the basics every plan includes: your Google profile, reviews, weekly posts and listings. See how we put you first

  1. Two seasons, two playbooks

    Cooling pages and posts before summer, heating before winter, so you're ready before each rush.

  2. Emergency details right

    Hours, after-hours number and same-day service set up correctly, because urgent searchers call the first open business.

  3. Repair-or-replace answers

    Honest guidance and price ranges for repairs, new systems and heat pumps, written so AI tools can quote them.

  4. Reviews that mention the tech

    Review requests after every call. Reviews that name the technician and the fix build trust fast.

Your Google profile, set up for HVAC work

HVAC has several overlapping categories. Pick the primary one for the work that earns the most, and add the rest only if you do that work every week.

How we manage Google profiles

Categories Primary: "HVAC contractor"

Secondary, where they fit: "Air conditioning repair service", "Air conditioning contractor", "Furnace repair service", "Heating contractor", "Air duct cleaning service".

Mostly repair calls? Some companies choose "Air conditioning repair service" as primary in hot climates. We test what fits your market.

When customers search for AC repair

AC repair searches peak at 368,000 in September and sit around 200,000 for most of the year. Furnace repair moves the other way, peaking in January and falling to about 27,100 in May.

An HVAC company needs to be visible for both curves. We switch your posts and pages ahead of each season, not during it.

Questions

HVAC is crowded. Can we compete with the big companies?

Yes, especially in the neighborhoods closest to you. Big companies often have weaker reviews per location and generic pages. Steady reviews, town pages and clear answers are where smaller companies win.

Should we list both heating and cooling?

Yes. Both go on the profile and both get pages, and posts switch with the seasons.

Do you help with maintenance plan signups?

We can give maintenance plans their own page and promote them in posts before each season. Sign-ups go through your own system.

Do you run our Google Ads or Local Services Ads?

No. Our plans cover your free Google presence: profile, reviews, pages and AI search.
