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.

Feeds Copilot and is read by Perplexity. Most contractors skip it.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Add 3 citations to get 100% coverage
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% — this fails to meet the minimum requirement of at least 3 citations in 3 queries.
Do this: List local directories and trade websites relevant to HVAC. Submit business NAP information to all three with consistent details. Expect to spend 1 hour on the submissions.
2. Mention Smith's Heating in responses about All American
+6 pts
Why: All American Heating & Cooling was mentioned once in responses, showing they capture attention that you don't.
Do this: Create engaging content that highlights your services in comparison to All American, targeting keywords relevant to both. Post this content on your website and social media for local visibility, aiming for publication within 3 days.
3. Fix 0 structured data issues by next week
+10 pts
Why: Structured data health is marked as none, indicating site pages lack necessary markup to be recognized by search engines.
Do this: Conduct an audit of your website's pages for structured data requirements. Use Google’s structured data testing tool to identify what’s missing, then implement JSON-LD for your services. Allocate about 5 hours for this task.
4. Increase competitive position from 16.7% next month
+7 pts
Why: Your competitive position of 16.7% indicates you are trailing behind competitors significantly in visibility.
Do this: Analyze top competitors' strategies, focusing on content and citation strategies. Set up a monthly content calendar to engage local audiences and track KPIs to gradually enhance competitive ranking over the next 30 days.
5. Create profile on 3 local platforms by Friday
+2 pts
Why: With a citation rate of 0.0%, your online presence on trade platforms is non-existent.
Do this: Choose three relevant platforms, such as Yelp, Angie's List, and Thumbtack. Set up a complete business profile on each, incorporating images and service descriptions. Spend 2-3 hours over two days to complete this.
6. Seek 5 reviews mentioning HVAC in 14 days
+3 pts
Why: Gaining reviews is crucial; currently, your presence in local discussions is lacking.
Do this: Reach out to recent customers via email or text—ask them to leave a review on Google or social media. Offer a small incentive, like a discount on future service, to motivate feedback within the two-week timeframe.
7. Compare citation accuracy with 3 top competitors
+2 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is currently undefined; knowing how competitors present their information is key to matching or exceeding their performance.
Do this: Research citations for All American Heating & Cooling, Roto-Rooter, and ST Property Care. Note their NAP consistency and identify disparities or improvements needed. Dedicate about 2 hours to extract and analyze data.
