3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings today
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% — claiming these directories is a critical first step to appear credible online.
Do this: Register for accounts on HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder. Fill out business information accurately and wait for verification. Expect to spend about three hours total for both.
2. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC citation sources
+6 pts
Why: Citation presence is non-existent — submitting your Name, Address, and Phone number will start building your online visibility.
Do this: Gather your NAP and submit to directories like Yelp, BBB, and Angi. This should take around 4 hours, but results can be measured in weeks.
3. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning 'AC repair' this month
+10 pts
Why: Competitors like Comfort Solutions are mentioned frequently — reviews help establish trust and improve rankings in local searches.
Do this: Reach out to past customers via email or SMS to request reviews. Offer a small incentive if possible. Allocate time daily for follow-ups, aiming to complete this within 30 days.
4. Add HVACBusiness schema to all service pages
+7 pts
Why: Your schema type is missing — AI engines look for HVACBusiness signals to better categorize your services.
Do this: Generate JSON-LD using Google's structured data helper. Include serviceType arrays for cooling repair, heating install, and ductless. Expect this task to take about 5 hours across all service pages.
5. Add Energy Star and NATE badges with structured data
+2 pts
Why: Missing trade credentials aired in audit; badges reinforce authority and relevance in HVAC.
Do this: Obtain badge images from Energy Star and NATE websites. Use schema markup to ensure these show in search results. This should take under 2 hours to implement.
6. Check citation accuracy on all 8 queries this week
+3 pts
Why: With a citation rate of 0.0%, accuracy verification will prevent future discrepancies and enhance trust.
Do this: Gather your listings from previously claimed directories and ensure NAP consistency. Spend a day combing through each for accuracy, estimating around 8 hours.
7. Monitor competitors like Comfort Solutions for insights
+2 pts
Why: They got mentioned 2 times — tracking their updates can unveil strategies that may work for you.
Do this: Set up alerts for Comfort Solutions' online activity and reviews using tools like Google Alerts. Allocate time weekly for this, about 1 hour per week.
