The Top 40 HVAC Keywords for SEO

If your HVAC business gives constant attention to SEO and keywords, then it’s because you know the Internet is always on and can bring you leads 24/7. What you might not know is that you can build seasonal pages for different keywords to cover the business cycles that your company might go through each year.

Seasons Change

If your HVAC company relies heavily on air conditioner clients, then you likely have two seasons:

• The Busy Season: Often from late spring until early fall, this is when you do most of your house calls. It’s also when you do most of your residential replacements, your highest-profit margin activity.
• The Slow Season: Late fall through winter and into early spring is more focused on preventative maintenance contracts and services. Business is not as strong, but it’s your best bet to make money during this time of year.

Other regions might have different cycles. For instance, regions where winters are long and cold might have a second busy season focused on heating issues. They would still have slumps in the fall and spring, though, in between the seasonal extremes.

In either case, your HVAC business is likely to have both periods of high activity and profitability and stretches where things are much slower with less money to be made. As such, it makes sense to break up your target keywords into two groups focusing on each season.

Harness the Power of Local SEO

Competing against national keywords isn’t an effective use of your marketing resources, so you need to target local keywords. Anyone using Google or other search engines is probably typing in the name of their town, city, community, or region along with their keyword to narrow down results close to them. Knowing that, you shouldn’t just use the top 40 HVAC keywords for SEO in terms of overall volume but cater them specifically to people looking for professionals in your service area.
