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.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings this month
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is only 11.1% with no citations on key HVAC directories.
Do this: Login to HVAC.com and ACCA. Follow the verification process for both platforms, which typically takes 1-2 days. Expect citations to positively impact your visibility across AI engines.
2. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning 'AC repair' this month
+5 pts
Why: Current review count is low; mentions of 'AC repair' could win local rankings due to recent competitor mentions.
Do this: Email satisfied customers or text them links to your Google review page asking for specific feedback on AC repair. Aim to collect these within the next 30 days.
3. Add HVACBusiness schema to all service pages now
+8 pts
Why: Citation presence is at 2.8, schema helps engines identify your niche and offerings, which you currently lack.
Do this: Use schema.org to create HVACBusiness type for each page. Incorporate serviceType arrays for cooling repair and heating install. Allocate a day for all pages.
4. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC-specific citation sources
+6 pts
Why: With citation accuracy at 25%, updating NAP could address major gaps and improve local rankings.
Do this: Gather your NAP info and submit to directories like Yelp, BBB, and Angi. This usually takes around 3-4 hours but can greatly improve citation presence.
5. Add Energy Star and NATE badges with structured data
+2 pts
Why: Structured data health isn't recorded, but adding badges can improve your credibility considerably in AI outputs and customer trust.
Do this: Find graphics for badges on the respective websites. Use schema to mark up these badges on your homepage and service pages. Dedicate a couple of hours to finish this.
6. Increase citation sources to 9 total this month
+3 pts
Why: Citation rate remains low at 11.1%; more sources can enhance data trustworthiness and visibility among AI engines.
Do this: Identify additional sources from the audit, such as Houzz. Spend a few hours submitting your NAP to each until you reach 9.
7. Monitor competitor mentions for Regan and Atlantis weekly
+2 pts
Why: Regan is mentioned 3 times and Atlantis 2 times; understanding their strategies can inform your next moves.
Do this: Set Google Alerts for both competitors. Check weekly for insights on their reviews and citations, adjusting tactics based on their performance.
