2. Get listed on the sources AI actually reads

The first block is where the engines looked when answering about you. Fix those first - same name, address, phone everywhere. Then work the universal backbone.

Feeds Copilot and is read by Perplexity. Most contractors skip it.
Apple Business Connect · businessconnect.apple.com
Powers Siri and is increasingly cited.
Better Business Bureau · bbb.org
High-trust signal AI engines weight heavily.
Angi · angi.com
Trade-intent directory engines pull from for who-to-call queries.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA contractor listings
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 22.2%, with HVAC.com and ACCA missing from your citations entirely, which are critical in the HVAC industry.
Do this: Go to HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder, create and verify your business listings. Complete all requested info, including NAP and services. Expect this to take about 3 hours.
2. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC-specific citation sources
+4 pts
Why: Your citation presence is only 5.6, and you're missing key directories that could significantly increase visibility.
Do this: Identify 12 HVAC directories like Yelp, BBB, and others. Use a citation submission service or do it manually, ensuring accuracy across all listings. Allow 4 hours for this task.
3. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+7 pts
Why: Current review volume is low; more reviews are essential to compete against Atlantic Heating & Air Conditioning, mentioned 3 times.
Do this: Send out emails or texts to past customers. Use tools like Podium or ReviewTrackers to request reviews. Aim for completion within 14 days, spending 2 hours on outreach.
4. Add Energy Star and NATE certification badges to homepage
+5 pts
Why: Structured data health is currently undefined, and incorporating these badges can increase credibility and relevance in your niche.
Do this: Find badge images for Energy Star and NATE, then add them to your homepage and services pages. Use HTML or CMS tools for embedding. Expect this to take about 1 hour.
5. Fix the 2 NAP mismatches found during audit
+2 pts
Why: NAP accuracy is only 25%, leading to confusion and trust issues with search engines and clients.
Do this: Check all online listings versus your legal business name, address, and phone number. Update those discrepancies across listings. This should take around 2 hours.
6. Add HVACBusiness schema with serviceType arrays on 47 pages
+2 pts
Why: Schema type is entirely missing, which means search engines can't correctly classify your business, affecting visibility in search results.
Do this: Use Google's structured data markup helper for HVACBusiness schema, including serviceTypes like cooling repair and heating install. Validate with Rich Results Test. Allocate 3 hours for completion.
7. Evaluate ongoing citation performance each month
+2 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is a key metric at 25%, demonstrating the need for regular maintenance and monitoring of citation health.
Do this: Set up a monthly review schedule to check citations across directories using tools like Moz Local or BrightLocal. Document changes and adjust accordingly. This should take 1 hour each month.
