Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical
Problem
A prominent Nexstar member servicing the Phoenix Valley, Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical first came to Blue Corona in 2019 in search of a new digital marketing partner.

Solutions

Why SEO Is the Best HVAC Marketing Strategy?
Why is SEO the best HVAC marketing strategy? Each month, customers in the U.S. perform almost 500,000 online searches for HVAC services. Considering more than 90% of searchers click on the first page of the search results, if your HVAC company doesn’t pop up on the first page for your target keywords, you’re losing business—guaranteed.
Search engine optimization for HVAC companies is one of the best ways to advertise your business because ranking at the top of search engines means you can connect with those homeowners at the moment they’re searching for your services online.
What It Takes to Outrank Your Competitors in Search Engines
If you want to outrank your competitors in search engines, you need to accomplish three things:
- Your website code and structure needs to be easy for search engines to find, read, index, and rank (Learn about our HVAC website development services).
- Your onsite content (copy/text) must establish your company as an authority in the HVAC industry.
- Your offsite factors (ex. links from other authoritative sites) must be optimized to establish and reinforce your site’s authority.
To accomplish that, our SEO specialists focus on:
- Website security (HTTPS vs. HTTP)
- Website mobile-friendliness
- Schema markup
- Webpage content quality
- Webpage content length
- Page speed
- Social signals
- Quality backlinks
- Optimized images
- User experience
If you’re like most HVAC contractors, you probably get 20 emails a day promising to do the things above. Like most things in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it typically is (after all—think about what your competitors promise your clients!)!
We specialize in SEO for HVAC contractors, which means we know more about the HVAC SEO than virtually any other digital marketing company!
SEO for HVAC Contractors: Our Process in More Detail
Step 1: Comprehensive Website Tracking & SEO Audit
- A business intake so that our account managers see your business from the owner’s perspective
- Analytics and SEO software implementation (we use a set of tools no other HVAC SEO company has—it’s the only SEO software specially designed for the HVAC industry!)
- Keyword research and identification
- Competitor analysis
- Analysis and evaluation of your website code, structure, and content
- Analysis and evaluation of your company’s entire presence online—paid, organic, social, and more
Step 2: Foundational, Technical SEO Improvements to Your Hvac Website
Armed with the data derived from the digital competitive analysis, the second step in the SEO process is to make any technical SEO improvements required to facilitate your ongoing success.
Here’s how technical SEO for HVAC companies works: Google uses robots to crawl website pages, looking for clues as to what it’s about. By adding in certain technical aspects, you’re helping the robots understand your page a bit better.
Think of it this way: Search engine robots speak a different language than we do—HTML. It’s like having someone who speaks Russian determine what a web page in English is about. The technical bits we add are written in a language the search engines understand, like adding subtitles.
For example, to rank well on Google, you need a mobile-friendly website. That means before we can start creating amazing content, we need to make your website responsive.
Although every situation is unique, foundational improvements include things like:
- Revising your website’s title tags and meta descriptions
- Renaming various web pages
- Restructuring your website files
- Improving your site speed (load speed is a known ranking factor),
- Recoding your website onto a content management system (CMS)
Step 3: Content Creation and Content Marketing
Step 4: Optimization of Offsite Factors and Local SEO
To get in the local pack, you need a flawless Google My Business page. With our local SEO services, we’ll do it for you and make sure it’s continually updated with the latest information.
OTHER OFFSITE FACTORS
A part of building authority offsite includes generating links back to your website. Think of links from other authoritative websites (manufacturers’ pages, local chambers of commerce, or the BBB) as votes of authority or digital recommendations. More links from high-authority sites equal more search engine visibility; however, you must recognize that not all links are created equal! Buying links with the intent to manipulate Google’s ranking algorithms is forbidden and doing so can get your website banned from the search rankings. The right way to attract links to your website is to earn them by creating unique and remarkable content—content that is truly valuable to your prospective customers!Be Wary of HVAC SEO Scams!
Not all HVAC SEO companies live up to their promises of more traffic, better rankings, and more leads. Some SEO firms achieve results, but they do so using “black-hat SEO” techniques. These unethical strategies can hurt your HVAC SEO and rankings—and ultimately, your HVAC business.
Before selecting an SEO company for your company, make sure to ask the following questions:
- “Do you adhere to search engine webmaster guidelines?”
- “How do you determine SEO success?” At Blue Corona, we always determine SEO success by increased leads—not rankings or traffic. Who cares if you’re getting more website traffic if it’s traffic from China and you’re a local contractor in Charlotte, NC!
- “What happens if/when we part ways?” Many companies don’t let you keep your website or content—you’re merely renting it from them.
