Leads Freezing Up? Why HVAC Companies Need SEO

Gone are the days of relying solely on postcards and classifieds to market an HVAC business. Today, the first place many sweating homeowners are going to look for their cooling needs isn’t a magnet stuck to the front of the refrigerator; it’s Google. As by Social Media Today, "86% of users search on the internet to find a local business and almost a third (29%) search for local businesses at least once a week."

The scenario isn’t hard to imagine: a hot summer day, a clogged refrigerant line, and a sweaty homeowner thumbing through Google, ready to hit "call" on the first reputable technician they can find. The most important question for any HVAC company, then, is: Will my business show up?


In most markets, competition for both organic traffic and ad placements is fierce. As with every other local service, more and more HVAC companies have gotten wise to their need for search traffic, and determining where to spend marketing dollars is more confusing than ever. So, where should you put your marketing spend?

Consider this: Organic search results on the first page of Google receive around 70% of the clicks. Why? Because most users trust organic search results as authoritative. This doesn't mean users are not clicking on the ads, it just shows the far majority of your customers are scrolling past them. Google ads work, but it's a battlefield. With any HVAC company able to pay to play, that's massive competition for a much smaller audience.

Recently, we had an HVAC client who thought they needed to throw their entire marketing budget into Google PPC to win their market. They shortly found out how bloody the battle can be and suffered financially, as costs rose to over $100 per click with an extremely low conversion rate — not to mention the alleged click fraud that runs rampant.

After this experience, together, we shifted a portion of their focus from PPC to SEO. By the time they got to the Top 3 in organic results, they were able to eliminate their ad spending altogether. In the process, they received a 478% increase in overall traffic.

Why? Competition for the first-page organic spots is far less competitive than competing for HVAC ads. When they reached the top spots, they were in prime real estate for the 70% of customers visiting the organic spots. Whether you outsource SEO or bring it in house, SEO should be a part of your marketing strategy.



How To Get Started

 Here are three basic steps you can take on your own:

1. Create a robust HVAC website.


When you create a more robust website than your competitors, you’re already getting a leg up. In addition to having a website that will have more than your standard Home, About and Contact Us pages, you’ll be providing the search engines with more content to index and rank for when your customers are searching online. Start developing pages that speak to the needs of what customers will be searching for in your market, and add some specifics.


For example, create pages for each service type you offer (i.e., Commercial AC Repair, Pool Heater Installation, Residential AC Installation, Heater Repair, etc.) and each market or sub-city where you do business. Since HVAC repair and installation terms are considered local search terms, search results will bring back local companies in the area.


Content on these pages will need to include local modifiers in the text, like cities and communities that you serve. Make sure to provide thorough information about the type of service, including geo-tagged images, info on the city itself and a maps location of your business. By creating these pages, you won't climb the charts yet, but you'll be on the radar when somebody in your city looks for an HVAC service.



2. Take time to optimize each HVAC page.

Once you got the bulk of the content in place, it’s time to optimize so that Google can read it accurately to make sure your page is relevant to what your customers are searching for. Below should get you started:


• Each URL should have the service type within it (hvac.com/commercial-ac-repair)
• Meta tags should include the service type and city
• An H1 tag should include the service type and city
• Geo-tagged images with alt text that includes service type and city
• Service type and city used a couple of types throughout the body of the text

3. Build authority to each page.


Now that Google knows what each page is about, it will start to include specific pages in the search results. However, your customers will not venture too far past page 1, so you’ll need to build some authority. Each page’s authority will ultimately determine your placement in the search engines.



Authority is built by inbound links to your website and webpages. Here are some easy ways to secure those links:

• Listings: Facebook, Google My Business, Foursquare, Merchant Circle, Yellow Pages, Yelp, Manta, etc. All of these sites provide a link back to your website. 
• HVAC Associations: Reach out to HVAC associations for inclusion on their member directory. Links from relevant associations provide good authority. 
• Featured Snippets: To dramatically increase search engine rankings in the HVAC industry, it’s important to target and win featured snippets. Not only will it increase your organic traffic significantly with each featured snippet won, but you’ll be turning into the ultimate authority within your industry — and Google will reward you for that. I can’t stress the power of snippets enough. Should you write an article titled, "Why does my AC freeze up?" and win the snippet, you’ll build authority for your entire site and boost all pages in the search engines. In addition, you'll be providing Google what it wants — great content for its users. 


The competition for Google’s affection is fierce, and HVAC companies need to get serious about SEO. Like it or not, organic search results are still king — for now.

Top 5 SEO Mistakes Made by Bloggers


Over the last two decades, the digital marketing landscape has changed tremendously. Today, search engine optimization (SEO) is really important for marketers, specifically when blogging. “Blogging helps to increase SEO quality by put content on the website and give a relevant answer to your customers’ questions. Blog posts that explicitly use a variety of on-page SEO tactics can give you more opportunities to rank in search engines and get customers to visit your site.”No doubt you have witnessed Google’s ever-changing algorithm one time or another. This has made it hard for some to stay on top of the best practices of blogging. Whether you’re new to the blog sphere or you have been blogging for some time, you should be aware of some of the most common SEO mistakes relative to blogging. Here is a list of the top 5 SEO mistakes made by bloggers that you should avoid.
1. Keyword Stuffing

Keyword stuffing, including keywords as much as possible, is arguably one of the most common SEO mistakes. This can do a ton of damage to your search rankings and it makes for a pretty poor reading experience. To avoid this, stick to one or two long-tail keywords to center your blog post around. Long-tail keywords keep your post focused on the specific goals of your audience, encouraging visitors to read your whole post and seek more information from you.
2. Not Writing Enough Content

Many websites feature blogs that are just too short. Writing short posts can hurt your reader loyalty. Even more so, search engines may identify your blog as “low quality,” if it doesn’t have enough content. This makes it extremely difficult to rank. In 2019, the ideal blog post is a minimum of 300 words. If you’re experiencing writer’s block and you need to beef up your blogs, try researching similar topics for inspiration.
3. Poor Page Copy

When blog writing, keep in mind that you’re writing to address your readers and their pain points. You’re not writing for search engines. Keep your content light. Don’t attempt to show off your knowledge with unnecessary jargon. Write content that can be easily understood. Also, make sure your content is visually appealing, utilizing white space and inserting a few images.
4. Not Including Internal and External Links

External links prove to search engines that your content is valid and relevant. If your blog includes a topic that has been mentioned in another blog post or web page, you should link back to that page. Internal linking will help keep visitors on your site and helps surface your other authoritative pages to search engines. Internal links should link to a core or pillar page on your website, as well as direct readers to related blog content.
5. Failing to Optimize Title Tags

Title tags are one of the most important aspects of search engine rankings. Readers and search engines use title tags to determine the relevancy of your content. You should keep your title tag targeted towards a keyword. Consider checking the popularity of the keyword you have chosen using a keyword tool, like Serpstat, before optimizing for it. It’s a best practice to include your keyword within the first 60 characters of your title so it is not cut off on search engine results pages (SERPs).
Conclusion

While these SEO mistakes may seem basic, they occur often, hindering many blogs from achieving optimal search engine rankings. Optimizing blogs for SEO can be tedious, but it is necessary if you’re looking to reach your audience and compete against others in your marketplace.

Should I Start a Company Blog?


With so many social media platforms and online tools, knowing which ones to maintain a company presence on can be difficult. One tool all companies should utilize is adding a blog to your company’s website. Here are some of the benefits of starting a company blog.

Increase Organic Traffic

Blogging is an ideal way to incorporate SEO best practices into your company’s website, which can help it rank higher in search engine results. Blog posts can be created from lists of common questions your customers have, keywords they use when looking for a business like yours, and its services. This gives your website more pages to attract traffic.

Low-Cost Campaigns

If your company already pays for its website hosting and domain, it doesn’t cost anything to put up a blog post. While you might have to pay a writer or a staff member once to create the blog content, you won’t have to pay anything to publish it. You can then share your company’s original content on your business’s Facebook page and Twitter account to expand its reach even further without investing more money into it.

If social media shares of your company’s blog posts drive more traffic to your website in a way that increases sales or other key metrics, investing in paid social campaigns could be another relatively low-cost way to benefit from blog post content. As long as you’ve narrowed your target audience and have clear goals identified, paid social media campaigns can be successful. It is just imperative that you monitor it for results and adjust the campaign if needed. There’s no reason to pay for a social media campaign that isn’t garnering results.

Benefit from Evergreen Content

Evergreen content remains relevant over time. Unlike a blog post that features information about the employee of the month (who will likely leave someday) or upcoming menu items for a restaurant, evergreen content will remain accurate even several years after it is posted. This makes evergreen content more valuable as the same blog post can continue to attract visitors, bulk up the amount of quality content on your company’s website, and be shared over time.

Become an Industry Expert

Customers want to buy products and services from the best, most informed companies in the market. When you want to buy high-quality outdoor sporting equipment, most customers want to buy it from REI over Ralph’s Sports Goods. REI publishes so much educational blog content and guides on its website, product catalogs, and other digital marketing content. It is seen as an industry leader and an expert. Having a company blog can help you develop that kind of industry expertise.

There are two key factors in developing industry expertise through blog content. First, your blog’s content must provide valuable information that your target audience wants to know about. In the case of REI, teaching customers how to skateboard enables people to learn how to participate in a new hobby. These customers wouldn’t have otherwise purchased a skateboard just might. They feel better buying a skateboard from a company with established expertise.

Second, the content must be better than the blog content that already exists. It isn’t enough to simply regurgitate the information that you can find on competitor websites and online publications. Craft compelling posts that delve deeper into topics and give a fresh perspective.

There are many reasons to start a company blog, from increased website traffic to developing long-lasting, evergreen content. If you opt to start a company blog, decide how often to post and stick with it. Consistent blog posts perform better than one-off blog posts.
