HVAC Contractor (USA - Texas)
The Situation
This Texas-based HVAC contractor was getting occasional calls from existing clients but wanted to establish a predictable, inbound lead source. The majority of their business was driven by offline word-of-mouth or legacy print flyers. Online, their Google Business Profile was unoptimized, had only 2 reviews, and didn't appear in the top 20 maps listings for Houston-area heating or cooling searches.
Our Action Plan
Fully optimized their Google Business Profile: uploaded professional high-res photos of their service team, categorized services accurately, and filled out localized attributes.
Built 30+ high-authority local citations and business profile listings across platforms like Yelp, HomeAdvisor, and localized directories.
Optimized their website's on-page content, creating localized landing pages targeting specific Houston neighborhoods and common emergency service keywords.
Set up an automated, post-service text notification system that prompted satisfied customers to leave a star rating and written review on their Google Business Profile.

People call us saying 'I found you on Google Maps when I searched for emergency HVAC.' That's new. We love it.
