3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0%, and HVAC-specific directories are key for HVAC rankings.
Do this: Visit HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder to claim your business. Follow their verification process—expect to spend 1-2 hours on this. These listings can dramatically improve local visibility.
2. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC citation sources
+6 pts
Why: Current citation presence is 0.0%, impacting visibility and credibility in local search results.
Do this: Identify the top 12 HVAC directories such as Yelp, BBB, and Angi. Prepare a consistent NAP and submit within 3-4 hours. You could see improvements in local search rankings once these citations are live.
3. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+10 pts
Why: No reviews mentioning key services like AC repair limit trust and visibility in competitive markets.
Do this: Reach out to previous customers via email or text to request these specific reviews. Use templates for efficiency—aim to gather these in the next 14 days to build credibility quickly.
4. Add HVACBusiness schema to all service pages by Friday
+7 pts
Why: Your schema is missing, which leaves AI unclear about your business type, causing low competitive positioning (16.7%).
Do this: Use Google's structured data generator to create the HVACBusiness schema with serviceType arrays. Implement on all service pages and validate with the Rich Results Test—estimate about 3 hours for this task.
5. Add NATE and Energy Star badges to website
+2 pts
Why: You don’t showcase credentials like NATE certification and Energy Star status, which impacts credibility.
Do this: Get the badge graphics from the respective sites and add them to your homepage. Use structured data markup to enhance visibility—expect this to take around 2 hours.
6. Boost citation accuracy by fixing NAP mismatches
+3 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is currently not defined, which could harm your ranking in search engines.
Do this: Conduct a manual review of your listings to identify any inconsistencies in name, address, and phone number. Correct these on all platforms—allocate around 2-3 hours for comprehensive checks.
7. Monitor citation progress weekly to track performance
+2 pts
Why: Ongoing citation efforts need tracking to gauge impact on local search visibility and ranking.
Do this: Set up a spreadsheet or tool to monitor citations and reviews weekly. Dedicate about 1 hour each week to evaluate changes in search performance and adjust your approach as needed.
