About the Project

  • Industry: HVAC
  • CMS: WordPress
  • Target Region: California, USA
  • Service: HVAC SEO services

In May 2025, a US-based HVAC company approached us while preparing to move their website to a new CMS. Their existing site wasn’t driving much organic traffic. The goal was clear: redesign the site, optimize its structure, and create high-quality commercial service pages that would improve search rankings and generate consistent organic leads.

Our Goals

  • Move core commercial HVAC service pages into Top-20 positions for competitive, revenue-driving keywords.
  • Turn organic search into a steady, long-term traffic channel.
  • Publish HVAC-specific content that matches real buyer intent and supports lead generation.
  • Dominate local search results across priority service areas and increase inbound demand.

The Challenge

Before starting the initial SEO optimization, the company faced several key challenges:

  • It ranked mostly for branded searches, with little exposure for high-value commercial HVAC keywords.
  • The domain had very limited authority and only a small number of low-impact backlinks.
  • Most referring sites added little competitive value.
  • The site structure was messy and hard for both users and search engines to navigate.
  • Service pages weren’t properly optimized and failed to capture steady, high-intent organic traffic.

Execution / Optimization Process

To drive measurable growth, we launched a focused SEO and website optimization program. It centered on four priorities: site structure, commercial content, user experience, and authority building.

Market & Competitor Research

We mapped the California HVAC landscape to uncover high-intent keywords, competitive gaps, and commercial opportunities. This research shaped the SEO roadmap and guided which service pages would generate the fastest return.

Site Architecture & On-Page SEO

We completely rebuilt the website with a clean, scalable structure that’s easy for both search engines and homeowners to navigate.

Key improvements included:

  • Creating dedicated HVAC service pages
  • Rewriting content to better match real search intent
  • Tightening up H1–H3 heading structure
  • Adding helpful FAQs
  • Refreshing meta titles and meta descriptions to boost click-through rates

We also rebuilt the internal linking structure to channel authority toward the site’s primary revenue-driving pages.

UX improvements ran in parallel with the SEO work. Layouts were simplified. Calls-to-action became more prominent. Mobile performance was upgraded. Page flow was tightened to turn organic visitors into booked HVAC service calls.

Commercial Content Rollout

We developed new commercial-focused HVAC pages built to rank and convert. Each page highlighted expertise, answered buyer questions, and positioned the company as a go-to provider in its service areas.

Authority & Link Building

We ran a targeted link acquisition campaign in the HVAC niche, securing placements on authoritative industry sites and established publications to build credibility and support sustained ranking growth.

Organic Google Search

– A 754% increase in Organic Google Search clicks if compared 3 months vs 3 months.

– A 1126% increase in Organic Google Search impressions if compared 3 months vs 3 months.

Over the measured period, the website posted major gains in visibility, traffic, and overall performance.

Those results were driven by a rebuilt site structure, stronger commercial service pages, and sustained authority-building efforts.

Landing pages were refined with clearer messaging and stronger calls-to-action. Content was tightened around real buyer intent. This helped convert a larger share of organic visitors into qualified HVAC inquiries and created a more reliable inbound demand channel.

At the same time, strategic link acquisition across the HVAC and commercial services space elevated the site’s authority profile. Rankings became more stable. Visibility continued to expand. The company was positioned for sustained, long-term organic growth in a competitive California market.
