1. Paste this schema on your homepage

Add this JSON-LD inside your site head tag (or via your CMS schema field). It tells every AI engine exactly what RL23 does and where. Replace the YOUR-DOMAIN, phone, and review-count placeholders, then validate at Google Rich Results Test.

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.

Universal citation backbone
Google Business Profile · google.com/business
The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.
Yelp · biz.yelp.com
Heavily cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for local recommendations.
Bing Places · bingplaces.com
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
Cited for reviews and service confirmation.
Nextdoor · business.nextdoor.com
Hyperlocal recommendations engines increasingly surface.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim HVAC.com and ACCA listings today
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% with no listings on key trade directories like HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder.
Do this: Register on HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder, submitting basic NAP alongside credentials. This should take about an hour each. Expect these listings to help close the citation gap fast.
2. Add HVACBusiness schema to all 9 service pages
+6 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0% — schema helps AI engines identify your business type, and yours is currently absent.
Do this: Generate HVACBusiness schema using Google’s structured data tool for all service pages. Include serviceType arrays for cooling repair, heating install, and ductless. One hour total for setup and validation.
3. Submit NAP to 12 HVAC citation sources
+10 pts
Why: With a citation presence of 0%, your NAP isn't recognized by local engines — this needs fixing immediately.
Do this: List out the top 12 HVAC-specific directories like Yelp, BBB, and Angi; submit your NAP for each. Approximate time: 3 hours total, but you'll see ongoing enhancement in local visibility.
4. Get 6 reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+7 pts
Why: No reviews are visible; getting 6 specific mentions can directly boost local rankings.
Do this: Reach out to past customers and request reviews on Google that mention 'AC repair' or 'furnace install'. Aim to gather these within 30 days. Plan one hour per week until completed.
5. Add NATE certification badge on the website
+2 pts
Why: Missing trade credentials like NATE certification can impact perceived authority in a competitive market.
Do this: Download the NATE certification badge and incorporate it into website footer and service pages. Allow 30 minutes for design updates and testing; this increases credibility.
6. Get 2 mentions in competitor responses this month
+3 pts
Why: Top competitors like Atlantic Heating & Air Conditioning are mentioned twice; drive mentions to gain visibility.
Do this: Create content addressing common questions or issues in HVAC, focusing on local keywords. Post on social media and industry forums. Dedicate 2 hours for content creation, target 2 mentions in 30 days.
7. Analyze and fix 0 citation accuracy issues
+2 pts
Why: Audit shows no citation accuracy reported, meaning there could be unclaimed listings affecting visibility.
Do this: Run a citation audit using Moz Local or Whitespark to identify any dangling citations. Allocate time to fix 0 inaccuracies found; this should be a straightforward task.
