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. Submit NAP to 12 HVAC-specific directories this week
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% and your business has no presence in 9 key directories.
Do this: Identify top 12 HVAC citation sources like Yelp, BBB, and HVAC.com. Create accounts, complete profiles with NAP, and submit them. Expect to spend 3 hours for all submissions.
2. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings immediately
+6 pts
Why: Citate presence is non-existent, and competitors are listed, affecting visibility against them.
Do this: Claim your listings on HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder. Fill in your business information and verify with requested documents. This should take about 2 hours total.
3. Add HVACBusiness schema to all service pages this week
+10 pts
Why: Your site's citation accuracy is zero, making it hard for AI engines to categorize your business as HVAC.
Do this: Use Google's structured data helper to generate HVACBusiness schema. Include serviceType arrays for cooling repair, heating install, and ductless. Spend about 4 hours on this.
4. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+7 pts
Why: Absence of reviews is noted, while competitors like Boston Standard Plumbing & Heating have multiple mentions.
Do this: Reach out to past clients and request reviews specifically mentioning AC repair or furnace installs. Allocate 10 days to gather these reviews through follow-up emails or calls.
5. Reference NATE certification and Energy Star on the site
+2 pts
Why: Structured data health is non-existent, and competitors leverage credentials to gain trust.
Do this: Update website to include visible NATE certification and Energy Star partnership badges. Use structured data markup for validation. Expect this to take around 3 hours, modifying each relevant page.
6. Monitor citation presence weekly for next month
+3 pts
Why: With 0 citations now, tracking improvements is essential as you make changes across multiple platforms.
Do this: Set up alerts for changes in citation presence using tools like Moz or BrightLocal. Check weekly in your calendar for updates for 4 weeks.
7. Research competitors' ranking strategies starting tomorrow
+2 pts
Why: Boston Standard Plumbing & Heating leads in mentions, showing effective optimization and citation strategies.
Do this: Conduct competitor analysis on SEO tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs. Study their citations, reviews, and keywords for a successful strategy. Dedicate 2-3 hours to gather insights.
