PPC for HVAC Industry: How We Can Help HVAC Business Advertise on Google

The right PPC campaign can accelerate your HVAC digital marketing efforts, helping you reach your target audience in the most effective way. As a full-service digital marketing agency, we’ve seen first-hand how HVAC companies using PPC dominate the market.

In this blog, we explain what it is, how we use it to help our clients, and the business advantages it can offer an HVAC business like yours.

What Is PPC Advertising for HVAC Contractors?

At its core, PPC places your advertisements in front of the people actually looking for the services your HVAC company offers. By placing local services ads on popular search engines and online directories, HVAC contractors can ensure that their services are seen by potential customers actively searching for them.

For example, you might decide to show a targeted ad in search engine results pages (SERPs) the moment a user searches for “HVAC company Chicago.” As such, HVAC PPC is a salient part of search engine optimization, used as a short-term strategy to drive sales and increase brand exposure.

What Are the Common Problems That HVAC Companies Face?

Residential and commercial properties will always need ventilation, air conditioning, and heating. While the HVAC industry used to be largely seasonal, that’s slowly changing. Temperature fluctuations exacerbated by climate are increasing the demand for HVAC devices on a global scale.

Yet, even though the industry is expected to grow by 5% by 2030, challenges abound. Competition remains fierce and a lack of digital marketing acumen means HVAC companies relying on word-of-mouth and traditional marketing methods won’t capture their share of the market—roughly 20%.

Our HVAC PPC Campaigns Management Process

Good PPC management maximizes your ad spend and profits. That’s why HVAC systems companies rely on us to launch, monitor, and optimize their paid search campaigns.

Running a successful PPC campaign requires attention and time, which you can otherwise dedicate to clients.

Our comprehensive HVAC PPC services involve the following:

PPC Audit for HVAC Company

Whether we take over an existing HVAC PPC campaign or create one from scratch, our PPC experts conduct an audit to determine what HVAC keywords, channels, and landing pages will deliver the best results.

For HVAC companies with existing PPC campaigns, we’ll analyze cost vs. ROI, ad groups and individual ads to see where improvements can be made to maximize profits and the volume of paid traffic.

As a starting point, PPC audits provide an accurate picture of the current state of your HVAC marketing in terms of strengths and weaknesses in comparison to your competitors.

PPC Strategy Development

After auditing, we’ll build a customized strategy that aligns with your HVAC business goals. For example, if driving traffic to your website is the Q2 objective, your PPC goal will be the same.

Your goals determine which platforms and HVAC PPC ad types you should invest in. For instance, paid search ads work well when potential customers are already interested in your services.

The keywords you bid for, the ads you display, and the landing pages you send people have to match their sales funnel position. When developing your PPC strategy, we spend a lot of time learning about your target audience and the HVAC keywords they use when searching online.

Landing Pages Design

In digital marketing, a landing page refers to a standalone web page created specifically for a marketing or PPC ad campaign. It’s where a visitor “lands” after they click on your HVAC PPC ad.

The purpose is to encourage PPC visitors to act via a strong call to action. Having great landing pages is vital because it’s the first thing potential clients see after clicking on your ad, and it creates an impression of your HVAC company as a whole.

Our marketers and designers will ensure yours have strong offers that clearly explain why visitors should act, as well as striking designs that adhere to visual design best practices.

Create HVAC PPC Campaigns and Design Creatives

Once we’ve developed your HVAC Google Ads strategy, we’ll create ad campaigns, ad groups, and individual ads based on the target keywords we discovered during the strategy development phase.

Then, we’ll write the ad copy, and design the graphics and format. Depending on your campaign, we might have to create multiple marketing assets. Rest assured, our team will make sure your brand remains consistent, both in voice and look, across landing pages.

Upon completion, we’ll determine your ad targeting settings, place your ad bids, and launch your different PPC advertising campaigns according to a predetermined timeline.

Performance Monitoring & Bid Adjustments

At Comrade, our proactive approach means we’ll always A/B test ads to determine which HVAC ad copy, calls to action, and visuals achieve the highest conversions.

We also keep tabs on and adjust your keyword bids to ensure you’re not overpaying for underperforming keywords and winning bids on the most valuable ones. After all, PPC ad campaigns are cost-effective, but only if they’re constantly optimized.

PPC Campaigns Reporting

An invaluable PPC report is more than just data. It connects the dots between marketing metrics and tangible results. We show clients how we’re delivering on ad spend to reach short and long-term goals and what our plans are to improve.

When HVAC companies work with us, they know their advertising is backed by data and years of hands-on experience—not speculation! Our reports are descriptive, but to the point, highlighting key metrics and providing a holistic overview of your PPC campaign performance.

We provide a deep level of contextual awareness in simple terms, so you know exactly where your HVAC service advertising stands.

What Are the Benefits of Professional HVAC PPC Management?

Successful PPC campaigns generate profit faster than any other online marketing tactic. If you’re undecided about deploying a PPC strategy, these advantageous reasons will convince you otherwise:

Only Advertise to Potential Clients

PPC offers many precise segmentation options based on your target audience’s hobbies, interests, online behavior, and demographic data. Because this type of advertising is laser targeted, you don’t waste money marketing to the wrong people.

Only users interested in your HVAC services see your paid search advertisements, which yield a far higher conversion rate. What’s more, the higher the percentage of clicks, the lower the cost of the ad.

With PPC, you can set specific perimeters on geographic locations, which is especially useful for location-based businesses, i.e., HVAC companies.

HVAC PPC also offers dynamic retargeting. This process tracks your website visitors and shows them ads specific to page(s) they viewed.

Be at the Top of the Google’s SERP Pages

Did you know that the top two or three search results above regular listings are paid?

Running an HVAC PPC campaign for a specific target keyword can make your website appear first on search engine results pages. If you’re not yet ranking organically on the first page of Google, your PPC ads still can.

Google AdWords for HVAC even allows you to feature your business in specific location searches to show local ads and increase customer awareness in your service area.

Using PPC efforts alongside SEO can help you dominate both paid and organic results, improving traffic and establishing a strong online presence. There’s a reason why PPC is a driver for 74% of brands.

Maximum Cost-Effectiveness

PPC is cost-effective because you only pay when a user reaches your site. Therefore, there is a direct link between cost and performance. Analytics makes it possible to tweak campaigns in real-time based on target audience response, reducing wasted PPC budget.

Additionally, there is no set budget, so you can spend as much or as little as you like. Google estimates every $1 spent on a PPC ad campaign in Google Ads earns a business an average revenue of $2. And click-throughs from PPC convert 1.5 times higher than organic listings.

Easy to Set Up KPIs

Providers like Google and Facebook have made it easy for almost anyone—regardless of their digital marketing experience—to craft effective HVAC PPC ads.

After HVAC businesses register with Google and Facebook, as well as other social networks that conduct PPC advertising, it’s just a matter of finding and learning how to operate their dashboards.

While there is a learning curve, Google provides adequate training and there are also tonnes of YouTube videos to help you get the most out of your HVAC PCC campaigns.

PPC Campaigns Are Easy to Control and Adjust

With Google Ads, you can test your PPC ads with confidence and make adjustments until you get optimal results. An underperforming campaign can be tweaked or stopped altogether by clicking a few buttons.

Unlike billboard advertising, for instance, there’s no long term commitment. You literally get what you pay for. It’s also possible to pause PPC ads on days you’re closed for business, like holidays or seasonal breaks.

Local PPC Ads Improve Brand Awareness

Roughly 90% of people who search online are looking for a local business “near me.” Local PPC complements local SEO (Making your business more visible in local results on Google.)

You can target customers within the specific region you service on social media or search engines. This involves using local keyword and geotargeting.

Since local PPC is regionally based, your only competitors are other HVAC companies in the area, which tends to make HVAC PPC bids even cheaper.

You Can Run PPC Campaigns Without a Website

Naturally, we recommend all HVAC businesses have websites to ensure business longevity—there’s no denying digital marketing is the present and future. However, you can set up PPC ads without one.

Click-per-call (CPC) ads are designed to encourage customers to call your business and only appear on devices that make phone calls. For most HVAC businesses the goal is to get more calls. CPC provides the perfect solution!
