But if they don&#8217;t know you exist, they&#8217;ll never spend a dollar with you. That&#8217;s where local HVAC SEO comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;ve engaged in all the best SEO practices for your site, if you ignore local SEO you&#8217;re missing out on business.<\/p>\n<p>Local SEO is the science of ranking as highly as possible in local search results.<\/p>\n<p>Almost half of all Google searches are for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.go-globe.hk\/blog\/local-seo\/\">local services and products<\/a>. What does that mean to your HVAC business?<\/p>\n<p>Simply stated, your local HVAC SEO better be good.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we&#8217;ll take a look at 7 ways you can improve your local visibility and drive more business.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Boost Your HVAC SEO By Getting Listed On Google My Business (GMB)<\/h2>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/business\/\">where it all starts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>People searching locally are mostly looking for a location and address. This free tool enables you to list you NAP (name, address and location) and some additional information like directions and hours.<\/p>\n<p>This information goes directly on Google Search and Google Maps.<\/p>\n<p>Google will verify you by sending a letter or giving you a call. After you&#8217;re approved, you&#8217;ll get basic data on how customers find you and where they come from.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this data to further inform your local SEO strategy moving forward.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Utilize Google Posts In Your GMB<\/h2>\n<p>Starting in June of 2017, Google introduced Google Posts for every GMB account.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to update local offerings, post about deals and announce upcoming events through your GMB account.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Keep Your NAP Consistent And Updated Across All Channels<\/h2>\n<p>Keeping up with your GMB listing isn&#8217;t enough. You need to make sure your location and contact information is consistent and updated across all your online platforms.<\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your website<\/li>\n<li>Review sites<\/li>\n<li>Social media pages<\/li>\n<li>Directory listings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If any of these contain inaccurate or inconsistent information, Google&#8217;s search algorithms won&#8217;t look favorably on it.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Use Schema Markup<\/h2>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/LocalBusiness\">a code<\/a> you embed into your website&#8217;s HTML that improves the way your page is presented in search results.<\/p>\n<p>It helps Google recognize elements of your page and lets them know what the content of your page means.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the knowledge to do this yourself, look for a freelance developer that can help.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Optimize Your Content, Tags and URL<\/h2>\n<p>Your Content, Tags, URL, headers and meta descriptions need to include your city or region and the target keyword for the page.<\/p>\n<p>This lets Google know what location your page is relevant to and the content of the page. It&#8217;ll help them get your page properly indexed for searches.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kaiserac.com\/santa-barbara-hvac-services\">Kaiser AC<\/a> does a great job of this on their site.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Work on Local Link Building<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/samuel-edwards\/3-simple-and-effective-link-building-tips-for-local-seo.html\">Strong link profiles<\/a> are vital to performing well in searches.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy is definitely a long-term tactic. If someone tells you they can get a bunch of links fast, beware.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Get Your Business On Review Sites<\/h2>\n<p>Before people decide where to take their business, they look at reviews <a href=\"https:\/\/siteuptime.com\/testimonials.php\">and testimonials<\/a> of your past work. This makes getting your HVAC business on all the relevant review sites absolutely critical.<\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Foursquare<\/li>\n<li>Yelp<\/li>\n<li>White Pages<\/li>\n<li>Yellow Pages<\/li>\n<li>Angie&#8217;s List<\/li>\n<li>Yahoo Local<\/li>\n<li>Google+ Local<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If customers can&#8217;t find reviews of your work, chances are they won&#8217;t bring you their business.<\/p>\n<h2>Local HVAC SEO Is Critical To Your Success<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re missing the boat on your local SEO, you&#8217;re missing out on business that could push you to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>But remember, even with the best SEO, if your site isn&#8217;t up when a customer lands on it, you&#8217;ll lose them.<\/p>\n<p>Optimizing your HVAC business for local search is vital, and a crucial step in achieving this is having a <a href=\"https:\/\/hvacengine.com\">specialist in HVAC consulting<\/a> by your side.
