3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings immediately
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0%, and HVAC.com and ACCA are trade-specific directories vital for visibility in HVAC.
Do this: Go to HVAC.com and ACCA websites, create profiles with NAP and licensing info. Expect to spend about 3 hours total. Validate accurately to ensure your business shows up in search engines.
2. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC directories now
+6 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0 of 7 queries — listings in key directories are essential for local SEO.
Do this: Identify the top 12 directories like Yelp and BBB. List your NAP with the same formatting to guarantee consistency. This should take 4 hours across all directories.
3. Add HVACBusiness schema with serviceTypes to 47 pages
+10 pts
Why: You have a missing citation presence — schemas like HVACBusiness signal relevance to AI engines, and it’s not implemented.
Do this: Use Google's structured data helper to create and implement the schema across all service pages. Validation with Rich Results Test may take 2 hours, but it's crucial for future visibility.
4. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+7 pts
Why: You have no reviews; AI and customers look for social proof, especially for services like AC repair.
Do this: Send follow-up emails to recent clients, asking them to leave a review on Google, ideally mentioning AC repair. Allocate 1 hour to draft and send these messages.
5. Add NATE and Energy Star badges on website
+2 pts
Why: Lack of trade credentials in your structured data means lost credibility with search engines and customers alike.
Do this: Download badges from their respective websites and add them to your homepage with schema markup. This should take around 2 hours of web editing to complete.
6. Fix NAP mismatches across all platforms
+3 pts
Why: Having inconsistent NAP contributes to your 0% citation rate and hampers local search ranking potential.
Do this: Audit all platforms like Yelp and BBB for NAP mismatches. Spend approximately 3 hours correcting this info across all listings.
7. Monitor Riverton competitors for citation gaps
+2 pts
Why: Top competitors like Riverton Heating & Air Conditioning were mentioned multiple times; understanding their citations could uncover crucial gaps.
Do this: Set up alerts or use tools to track these competitors' citations. Spend 1 hour to identify where they are listed that you are not, allowing you to prioritize your own citations.
