Look, I've been in this game for years. I've seen agencies waste time cold-calling businesses that don't need anything. But hvac contractors with slow page speed? These are easy wins.
Seasonal demand (summer/winter) means you need to rank in Google year-round
Maintenance contracts should be sold online with automated reminders
Energy efficiency rebates require documentation - your site can host this
Emergency AC repair searches spike at 8 PM - be visible when they're searching
The Real Impact
53% of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load
Translation: Every single hvac contractor with slow page speed is bleeding money. Your job is to show them exactly how much, and offer to fix it.
Here's the thing: hvac contractors aren't cheap. They make good money, and they know a website is an investment. Don't lowball yourself.

Not all outreach methods work the same for every industry. Here's what actually works for hvac contractors:
Call between 9-11 AM on Tuesday-Thursday. Have their Google Maps listing open. Lead with "I saw you don't have a website..."
Subject: "Quick question about [Business Name]'s website". Keep it under 100 words. Include a mockup screenshot if possible.
Send a postcard with their Google Maps listing screenshot and "You're missing 200+ customers per month without a website"
For local businesses, walk in as a "customer" and casually mention your services after experiencing their business.
Look, hvac contractors will push back. They always do. But if you're prepared, these objections are easy to overcome:
"I get enough business from referrals"
Your response: That's great - but what happens when referrals slow down? A website is insurance for lean months. Plus, referrals often Google you before calling.
"Websites are too expensive"
Your response: A basic site costs $2,000-$5,000 one-time. If it brings you ONE extra client per month, it pays for itself in 60 days. The real cost is losing clients to competitors who DO have sites.
"I'm not tech-savvy"
Your response: You don't need to be - we build it, you focus on your business. Updates are simple, or we can handle them for you on a retainer.
"I have a Facebook page, that's enough"
Your response: Facebook is great for existing customers, but new customers search Google first. Facebook posts don't rank in 'plumbers near me' searches - websites do.
SITUATION

RESULT
Within 90 days, they ranked #2 for "hvac in [city]" and increased monthly leads from 12 to 47 - a 292% increase. ROI: 8x in the first year.

HVAC Contractors respond best to direct, value-focused outreach. Show them EXACTLY how much business they're losing (use numbers), and offer a free audit or mockup. Avoid jargon - talk about customers and revenue, not 'SEO' and 'UX'.
Speed optimization to reduce bounce rates and improve conversions. Typical project pricing ranges from $800 to $3,000, depending on scope and market.
Social media is great for engagement, but it doesn't replace a website. HVAC Contractors need a website for: (1) Ranking in Google search results, (2) Looking professional to new customers, (3) Controlling their brand narrative, and (4) Converting visitors into leads with forms and CTAs.
