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.

The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.
Yelp · biz.yelp.com

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

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Submit NAP to top 12 HVAC directories now
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0%, and adding NAP to directories like Yelp and HVAC.com can greatly increase visibility.
Do this: List the top 12 HVAC-specific citation sources and create accounts for each. Populate with NAP, service types, and credentials. Expect to finish in one day.
2. Claim and verify HVAC.com and ACCA listings today
+6 pts
Why: Your citation presence is non-existent, and these directories are crucial for HVAC visibility and reputation.
Do this: Go to HVAC.com and ACCA contractor finder, create accounts, and verify your business. This can be done in a few hours, directly impacting local search results.
3. Get 6 Google reviews mentioning AC repair this month
+10 pts
Why: No reviews exist, and getting specific mentions can improve ranking for those terms, which are critical for HVAC.
Do this: Email past clients or create a follow-up process for reviews. Use templates to simplify the outreach. Aim to get these in two weeks.
4. Add HVACBusiness schema to 47 service pages now
+7 pts
Why: Schema type is missing, which is a key signal for AI engines to identify your trade in local search results.
Do this: Utilize Google's structured data tool to create JSON-LD for each service page. Plan for 5 hours to implement and test using Rich Results Test.
5. Put Energy Star and NATE badges on website
+2 pts
Why: Your structured data health is lacking, and these badges add authority and relevance to your HVAC services.
Do this: Download badges from Energy Star and NATE certification sites. Place them prominently on your homepage and service pages within a couple of hours.
6. Check and fix citation accuracy within 2 weeks
+3 pts
Why: Incorrect citations can drop your competitive position, which is currently at 16.7%, harming your overall visibility.
Do this: Audit your listings on all claimed directories to ensure consistent NAP. Expect 4 hours for this maintenance task, which can lead to better search rankings.
7. Research how Atlantic Heating got 3 mentions
+2 pts
Why: Competitors like Atlantic Heating are getting more visibility; understanding their strategy can help your approach.
