Winning HVAC Business In The Google Search Map Pack
For local HVAC businesses, your Google Business Profile is the single most important resource available to you to get your business found online. And the Google Business Map Pack on the first page of Google search is the most valuable marketing space available anywhere.
In the case of local HVAC companies it doesn't matter if there are half a dozen or a hundred competing businesses, only 3 will show up in the Map Pack on the first page of Google.
What is the Google Business Map Pack?
It's the 3 businesses that show up next to a Google city map at or next to the top of Google. The type of business that shows up in the map pack depends on the search query users enter into the Google browser search box. User's searching for HVAC services in their city will see 3 HVAC businesses in the Google Map Pack.
Each Map Pack listing provides top level information about the business, including service area, contact information, business hours, website link, phone link, customer reviews, and more.
It might seem like a lottery, but the 3 particular businesses that show up in the Map Pack are chosen because Google thinks they are the choices that are most likely to satisfy users' search intent and provide a good experience.
Google won't share the exact criteria for deciding which businesses show up in the top 3 in the Map Pack, but the top 4 basics are pretty clear:
- Businesses must provide accurate, complete and consistent information in their Google Business Profiles
- The quantity of reviews by clients of the business is an important ranking factor
- Four & Five star rankings of the business by its clients are essential
- You will need to optimize your Google Business Profile for the search terms your prospects use to find the services your business offers
