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.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings by Friday
+9 pts
Why: Citation rate is only 11.1%, and these two directories are critical for HVAC visibility.
Do this: Register on HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder. Submit complete NAP and trade credentials. Expect to spend 3-5 hours getting verified and ranked.
2. Add HVACBusiness schema to all 47 service pages this week
+6 pts
Why: Your citation rate is 11.1% — missing HVACBusiness schema is hurting visibility in AI engines' results.
Do this: Use Google's structured data helper to create and implement schema markup for serviceType arrays. Apply across all pages, validate using Rich Results Test. Should take about 2 hours total.
3. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC-specific citation sources
+11 pts
Why: Only 1 citation found across 9 queries—this is a critical backbone for local rankings in your trade.
Do this: List your business on key directories like Yelp, BBB, and Angi. Dedicate 4 hours to submit accurate NAP data and credentials.
4. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+7 pts
Why: Need more reviews; benefit from higher visibility — you're missing key terms like AC repair in current reviews.
Do this: Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews based on explicitly mentioning 'AC repair' or 'furnace install.' Start today, reach out to at least 10 clients this week.
5. Add NATE and ENERGY STAR badges with structured data
+3 pts
Why: Structured data health is at 10% — trade credentials are crucial for trust signals to AI engines.
Do this: Source badge images and implement them within structured data on your homepage. Plan for 2 hours to complete this without impacting site speed.
6. Improve citation accuracy across all platforms to 100%
+3 pts
Why: You have a citation accuracy of 2.8 — poor accuracy leads to AI confusion and loss of potential clients.
Do this: Audit all current citations and correct mismatches. Use tools like Moz Local; estimate 5 hours for a thorough check.
7. Increase structured data health to at least 50% by month-end
+3 pts
Why: Current structured data health stands at 10%, which is inadequate for local SEO performance.
Do this: Review and implement more structured data types for services offered and hours of operation. Dedicate time this month to boost it and raise visibility.
