The HVAC Contractor GBP Audit
What 80% of hvac contractors in Collingwood get wrong on their Google Business Profile, and the 30-day plan to fix it. No email required.
Why most hvac contractors in Collingwood are losing leads to Google
HVAC has one of the highest dollar-per-call values of any trade. A single furnace replacement covers 6 months of SEO. The difference between #4 and #2 in the Map Pack for "furnace repair Collingwood" is roughly 3x the call volume, and HVAC calls convert to install jobs at 30-40% in most markets.
- → Furnace replacement is a $4,000-$8,000 job, but you're invisible for "furnace repair Collingwood" because your competitor's GBP is more complete
- → Cottage opening/closing season floods your inbox with one-off jobs, but you're not capturing the year-round residential maintenance customers who'd be worth 10x more lifetime value
- → Your reviews skew older, Google reads recency, and the HVAC company with 30 reviews from last year outranks you with 80 reviews from 2-3 years ago
- → You rank for "HVAC" but not the high-intent searches: "furnace not working," "AC repair near me," "heat pump installer"
What we ship for HVAC contractors
Every deliverable is tailored to how hvac contractors actually get found, not generic SEO checklists.
Multi-service GBP optimization
HVAC contractors typically need 4-6 GBP categories: HVAC Contractor, Heating Contractor, Air Conditioning Contractor, Furnace Repair Service, plus secondary categories for heat pumps, ductwork, and indoor air quality. We get all of them set up correctly.
Seasonal landing pages
Furnace pages indexed before the first cold snap. AC pages live before May. Cottage closing-season pages targeting the September-October rush. Local-keyword optimized, schema-marked, conversion-focused.
Review velocity with seasonal smart timing
Automated SMS review requests after every job, with smart throttling so a single customer isn't asked twice in the same year. Customers who got an AC install in summer are perfect candidates to ask again after furnace tune-up season.
Cottage market positioning
If you serve the chalet/short-term rental market, we'll position you for that, "HVAC for cottage rentals," "vacation home heating systems," "chalet AC installation." The keywords are low-volume but high-value (cottage owners pay premium for trusted local trades).
Monthly rankings and leads reporting
Clear monthly report on Map Pack rankings, profile views, calls from Google, jobs attributed to SEO, and plan for next month.
Common pitfalls we fix in week one
- ✗ Generic "HVAC" category only, missing the 5 secondary categories that capture furnace, AC, heat pump, and ductwork searches
- ✗ No seasonal posts on GBP, your competitor's profile gets a furnace-tune-up post in October, you have nothing since spring
- ✗ Website pages titled "Services" instead of "Furnace Repair Collingwood", invisible to Google
- ✗ Review requests done at install time when the customer is stressed about the bill, instead of 2 weeks later when the system is working perfectly
Keywords we'll target for you
Some of the high-intent searches HVAC contractors in Collingwood should be ranking for. We'll add trade-specific variants based on your service mix during onboarding.
Recommended tier: Trades Premium, $2,500/mo
HVAC has the budget for Google Ads + SEO layered together, and the call volume justifies missed-call text-back automation. Most established HVAC contractors are already spending $1,000+/mo on ads, Trades Premium consolidates that with SEO and customer comms.
Or start with the $499 standalone audit, full deliverable, no retainer commitment, credit applied if you go monthly within 60 days.

Common questions from HVAC contractors
What's the realistic ROI for HVAC SEO? +
One furnace replacement is worth roughly 6 months of Shoreline-tier SEO. Two new install jobs per quarter pays for the entire year. Most HVAC clients break even within 4-6 months and the engagement pays for itself many times over after that.
Should I focus on commercial HVAC or residential? +
Both work, but they're different SEO plays. Residential is high-volume, lower-margin per job, driven by Map Pack rankings. Commercial is lower-volume, higher-margin per job, driven by deeper service-page content and business directory listings. We can do either or both, most clients start with residential and add commercial in month 4-6.
Do you handle Google Ads too? +
Yes, on the Trades Premium tier. For HVAC specifically, the combined SEO + Google Ads play is often the right call, ads cover the high-intent searches immediately while SEO builds the long-term moat. Most HVAC clients move ad budget into SEO over time as organic rankings improve.
