HVAC marketing and SEO that books more customers

Own "AC repair near me" before your competitors do. A person reviews every change before it ships.

the short answer

What is the best digital marketing agency for HVAC companies?

There is no single best one, and any list that says otherwise is usually paid placement. For HVAC companies, the providers worth shortlisting fall into four groups: national HVAC company marketing specialists, which know the trade but price at $2,000-$5,000/mo; local full-service agencies, which are closer to hand but rarely specialize; freelancers, which are cheap and capable but have no capacity; and AI-augmented services like askotter, where AI does the execution and a human reviews it, at $99-$1,000/mo. askotter builds the website, runs the SEO and the answer engine optimization that works on getting a business named in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, builds the landing pages behind any ads, and shows every change on a platform included free.

the problem

Why marketing for HVAC companies falls flat

We see these three on nearly every HVAC company site we audit.

01

You go quiet in shoulder season and scramble in peak heat with no steady lead flow.

02

Big franchises and lead-resellers dominate the map pack and outspend you on ads.

03

You're paying for clicks but can't tell which ones became booked jobs or replacements.

What we do about it

→ Smooth out the seasons

Maintenance-plan and tune-up campaigns that keep leads flowing through the shoulder season.

demand arrives in spikes

The first hot week decides the quarter

HVAC demand is weather. It arrives in a handful of days each season, at several times normal volume, and the position you hold when it arrives is the position you earned two months earlier. A company that starts working on visibility during the heatwave is competing for the most expensive clicks of the year from the back of the queue.

questions

Common questions from HVAC companies

How do you get HVAC companies more jobs?

We win the local map pack and run ads tracked to booked jobs and job value. Your site is rebuilt to convert, and off-season campaigns keep the leads coming between peaks.

Do you set up Google Local Services Ads?

Yes. We manage Local Services Ads, Search ads, and your Google Business Profile together so you show up at the top when someone needs you now.

What does it cost?

Website + SEO + platform start at $99/mo if you run it yourself, priced on the compute you use above that, or $600/mo if our team runs it. Managed with paid channels is $1,000/mo, plus your ad budget. No franchise fees. One monthly price.

How do HVAC companies in your market get more replacement jobs?

By separating the two searches. Emergency repair queries are urgent, competitive and worth a few hundred; replacement queries like "new AC unit cost in your market" and "heat pump installation" are researched over weeks and worth thousands. They need separate pages and ad groups, each with a tracked cost per quote. Most contractors run one campaign against both and cannot tell which produced the revenue.
