Industries / HVAC
Customer acquisition for HVAC contractors.
When a furnace fails or an air conditioner quits, the customer chooses quickly. We build the search, paid and conversion system that puts your company in that decision.
HVAC demand is urgent, seasonal and local. A homeowner with no heat is not reading a brand story; they are comparing the first few companies that look credible, available and fairly priced. Commercial buyers move more slowly, but they still judge a contractor on response time, clarity and the confidence that the job will be done properly.
Most HVAC companies do not lose work because demand disappears. They lose it in the gap between the search and the booked job: service pages that describe equipment instead of the outcome, calls that go unanswered during a heat wave, forms that ask too much, and no reliable view of which service line produced which appointment. We close that gap with one acquisition system rather than a collection of disconnected tactics.
What gets in the way
- 01Emergency searches going to directories and national lead resellers before the company is seen
- 02Seasonal peaks that overwhelm the office and leak calls at the exact moment demand is highest
- 03Service pages that list equipment and certifications but never answer the customer's real question
- 04No consistent view of cost per booked job by service line, season or campaign
- 05Reputation and reviews managed only when someone remembers, rather than as part of the acquisition system
The approach
One system, built around hvac.
The same four-stage discipline we apply across the agency, with the detail changed for this sector's buying process.
Map demand by service line and season
Repair, maintenance, replacement and commercial work behave differently. We separate them so budget and content follow the jobs that are actually worth winning, rather than one generic HVAC campaign.
Fix the local foundation
Service-area pages, Google Business Profile details, licensing and insurance information, reviews and accurate hours all have to agree. Local search rewards consistency, and customers check it before they call.
Build the shortest path to a booking
Click-to-call, short estimate forms, clear arrival windows and a visible answer to 'can you come today' remove friction. We test the path on the devices customers actually use, especially mobile.
Run paid and organic together
Paid search covers urgent demand and seasonal spikes. Organic search and local visibility carry the rest of the year. Both feed the same call tracking and booking data, so the next decision is made on evidence.
Services that apply
The components we usually use.
Not every engagement uses every component. The mix is chosen from the business model, the available data, the budget and the commercial goal.
Social media in this sector. Homeowners often check a contractor's social profile before they call, looking for proof that the company is real, local and busy. A steady presence of maintenance reminders, seasonal readiness, install photos and technician introductions supports that check. It is not a substitute for search and paid media; it is the credibility layer around them. See social media management, paid social or a strategy and audit.
What we measure
Success is a business number.
- Booked jobs by service line and source
- Cost per booked job, not cost per click
- Call answer rate and missed-call follow-up
- Estimate-to-close rate by channel
Where we are based
We are headquartered in Seattle and work with contractors across the United States and Puerto Rico. The acquisition model is built around your service area, your seasonality and your capacity, not a national template.
Common questions
HVAC, answered.
- Do you work with HVAC contractors outside Seattle?
- Yes. We are headquartered in Seattle and work with businesses across the United States and Puerto Rico. Campaigns are built around your service area, your capacity and the seasons that matter in your market.
- Do you manage Google Ads and local search together?
- Yes. Paid search, local SEO and the pages that receive the traffic are planned as one system. Splitting them across suppliers is usually how budget and accountability get lost.
- How quickly can a campaign start?
- The timeline depends on access to your accounts, tracking, creative and approvals. We set a schedule in the proposal rather than promising a start date before we understand the setup.
- Can you help with missed calls and after-hours leads?
- We review how enquiries are captured, routed and followed up, and we build the tracking that shows what happens after a call or form. We do not run your dispatch desk, but we make the handoff visible.
- Do you produce social media content?
- Yes, through our social media management service. Content is planned around the questions homeowners and facility managers actually ask, and it is approved before publication.
- What do you need from us to begin?
- Access to your website, analytics, advertising accounts and call tracking, plus a conversation about your service lines, margins, capacity and the jobs you want more of.
