Alberta. It’s no surprise, then, that the HVAC industry in the province is extremely competitive.
Standing out and maintaining your HVAC business’ competitive edge is incredibly important. Fortunately, there are a number of strategies
that an internet marketing company uses to help you do just that. These three will set you on the path to generate more qualified leads,
increase your customer base, and boost your bottom line. Call us today to design a customized marketing strategy for your business!
Revamp & Optimize Your Website
Nearly 95% of Albertan online users access the internet daily and nearly 87% of them buy goods or services online. When they hear “online
marketing,” most people think of ads and social media. But it’s important
to remember the majority of those efforts send potential leads to one place: your website.
A virtual welcome mat, your HVAC business’ website should be visually appealing and easy to navigate. It should also:
Load quickly. Users rarely wait more than 3 seconds for a site to load.
Be mobile-friendly. Keep in mind that a “responsive” site is not the same as one that’s “mobile ready,” i.e. designed to
create a speedy, satisfying experience for leads.
The goal is to be quickly and easily found no matter where your customers are and no matter which device they’re using. Any internet
marketing agency worth it’s salt (such as Smart WSI Marketing) will design beautiful custom websites that support your business goals and
set you up for success.
