HVAC

One site, three completely different buyers — no cool, replace it, join the plan

An HVAC site is really three sites. The no-cool call that needs a phone number in two seconds. The system replacement that needs financing and rebate answers. And the maintenance agreement that pays the bills between seasons. Most contractor sites are built for one of the three.

Your phone doesn't stop on the first ninety-degree day, then goes quiet all October.

Three things that make this trade its own problem

Shoulder season

Spring and autumn demand collapses and payroll doesn't. A site that only knows how to sell installs has nothing to say for four months of the year, so the maintenance plan — the one thing that would carry you through — never gets sold.

The dealer brand owns half your homepage

Trane Comfort Specialist, Carrier Factory Authorized: the co-op money arrives with logo rules, claim rules and creative restrictions attached. The site has to keep the manufacturer happy and still read like your company rather than their brochure.

A replacement is a financing decision

Nobody writes a cheque for a new system without seeing the monthly number first. Rebate, tax-credit and payment pages do a lot of the converting, and on most contractor sites they're the thinnest pages on there.

Local or national — where this one is actually decided

The map pack and Local Services Ads decide this one. Review count and a service area you genuinely cover will outrank any clever keyword play.
