How I Scaled an HVAC Business from 3 Clicks/Day to 300+ Clicks/Day in 6 Months

An HVAC business approached me struggling with online visibility. They were barely receiving 3 organic clicks per day and had little to no leads coming from their website. Their goal was to increase website traffic, generate local leads, and establish authority in their service area.

Within six months, I implemented a strategic Local SEO campaign that boosted their organic traffic from just 3 clicks per day to over 300 clicks per day. Here’s how I did it.

Challenges

• Low Online Visibility: The website had minimal presence on Google.
• Poor On-Page Optimization: Title tags, meta descriptions, and content were not optimized for local searches.
• Weak Backlink Profile: Few high-quality backlinks, leading to poor domain authority.
• Inconsistent Google Business Profile Optimization: The Google Business Profile (GBP) was incomplete and lacked local SEO optimization.
• Limited Content Strategy: The website had thin content and no blog strategy to target long-tail keywords.

My SEO Strategy

1. Technical & On-Page SEO Fixes

• Conducted a complete website audit to identify issues.
• Optimized site speed, fixed broken links, and ensured mobile-friendliness.
• Implemented proper heading structure (H1, H2, H3) for better readability and SEO.
• Optimized internal linking to improve site navigation and page authority distribution.

2. Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization

• Fully optimized the HVAC company’s GBP by adding keyword-rich descriptions, services, and business hours.
• Consistently posted updates, offers, and images to boost engagement.

• Ensured Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) consistency across all listings.

5. High-Quality Link Building

6. Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
