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.

The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.

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.
Facebook Business Page · facebook.com/business

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings now
+9 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0%—not having these listings is a major visibility issue in the HVAC space.
Do this: Register for HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder by creating a business profile. Fill in accurate NAP details and service offerings. Expect minimal cost and a quick turnaround; claim within 24 hours.
2. Add citations to 12 key trade directories ASAP
+7 pts
Why: Citation presence is at 0.0%, which means visibility on key engines is severely limited.
Do this: Submit NAP info to major directories like Yelp, BBB, and Angi. Use a citation service like MozLocal for efficient submission. Allocate 3 hours for setup and monitoring.
3. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+12 pts
Why: Your review count is low, and you currently have no reviews—competitors have 2 and 1 reviews that drive visibility.
Do this: Ask satisfied customers for reviews via email or text messaging, focusing on 'AC repair' or 'furnace install'. Utilize tools like GatherUp to track progress. Aim for completion within 30 days.
4. Fix the 19.4 competitive position ranking against Atlanta Heating & Air
+8 pts
Why: You need to narrow the gap since competitors are mentioned more frequently in search results.
Do this: Research their offerings and online responses to identify gaps. Adjust your service descriptions and highlight unique credentials. Spend a few days crafting messaging to close that competitive gap.
5. Add HVACBusiness schema with service types to 47 pages
+3 pts
Why: Your structured data health score is a low 10.0%, and missing schema hurts visibility on engines like OpenAI and Perplexity.
Do this: Generate schema markup using Google's tools, ensure service types like 'cooling repair' are included. Update all service pages, requiring about 4 hours of work. Validate with schema testing tools.
6. Add Energy Star and NATE badges to site
+4 pts
Why: You currently lack trade credential badges which help build credibility and visibility among competitors.
Do this: Get the badge graphics from ENERGY STAR and NATE websites. Place them on your homepage and relevant service pages. Expect this task to take under 2 hours for implementation.
7. Audit and fix NAP accuracy across platforms
+3 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is at 0.0%, which can confuse engines and hurt local rankings.
Do this: Use tools like Yext or Moz to audit your NAP compliance across all citations. Correct inconsistencies and update necessary profiles; expect this audit to take about 3 hours.
