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. Create 3 citations mentioning Roto-Rooter immediately
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% with 0 of 3 queries yielding any citations, severely limiting visibility.
Do this: Use Yelp, Angie's List, and Yellow Pages to create listings for Roto-Rooter. Include full NAP details and services offered. Allocate 3 hours to complete this and monitor metrics for results.
2. Add structured data to 3 main service pages
+6 pts
Why: Structured data health is currently non-existent; engines can’t categorize your services properly without it.
Do this: Implement JSON-LD for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services on the homepage and two other pages. Use Google's structured data tool for proper formatting and validation. Spend about 2 hours on this.
3. Get 6 reviews mentioning plumbing service by next week
+10 pts
Why: No competitor is dominating in reviews; Apex Plumbing & Heating has only 1 mention which shows potential for growth in visibility.
Do this: Reach out to past customers via email or text to request reviews on Google or Yelp. Aim for 6 targeted reviews to bolster credibility and attract local traffic. Allow a week to collect these.
4. Monitor competitor mentions across 5 platforms
+7 pts
Why: Top competitors like Apex Plumbing & Heating, Sullivan Electric, and Miller Construction Services are each mentioned 1 time; tracking them can highlight opportunities.
Do this: Set up Google Alerts and social media tracking for these competitors. Review mentions weekly to adjust strategy based on their performance. Spend 1 hour setting this up.
5. Claim 2 social media profiles this month
+2 pts
Why: Zero social media presence impacts your ability to engage with potential local customers; competitors likely leverage this.
Do this: Claim profiles on Facebook and Instagram, complete with business details and engaging content. Spend about 3 hours setting this up and creating initial posts.
6. Clean up NAP discrepancies by next week
+3 pts
Why: Existing citation accuracy is none; any NAP mismatches can confuse search engines and clients, negatively impacting ranking.
Do this: Check citations across online directories for inconsistencies in NAP. Correct any discrepancies found in listings within a time frame of 5 days. Allocate 2 hours for cleanup.
7. Report competitive position and adjust tactics monthly
+2 pts
Why: Current competitive position is at 16.7%, monitoring changes is essential to maintain relevance and adjust your strategy accordingly.
