HVAC, plumbing, electrical, GC. The same playbook works because the customer behavior is the same: panicked, mobile, fifteen seconds to decide.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting all share a pattern that separates them from every other service business. The customer doesn't shop. The customer reacts.
A dentist gets searched on a lunch break by someone comparing five offices. A landscaper gets browsed by someone planning a Saturday project. A home services trade gets called by someone whose air, water, electricity, or roof is broken right now. The decision window is short, the panic level is high, and the search happens on a phone.
That changes what a website has to do. A dentist's site can be a brochure. A roofer's site cannot. A landscaper can use a contact form. A plumber cannot. The same fundamentals apply across every home services trade: speed, mobile, click-to-call, after-hours, real photos, real reviews.
Build for the panicked phone search. Everything else follows.
Click-to-call on every page. Top right on desktop. Sticky bottom bar on mobile. The phone number is the most important asset on the site. It should be the first thing visible.
Service pages per trade and per job. An HVAC company has five to seven service pages: AC repair, AC installation, heating repair, heating installation, ductwork, IAQ, mini-splits. A plumbing company has six to eight: emergency, water heater, drains, sewer, leak detection, gas, repipe. An electrical company has six: panels, outlets, EV chargers, lighting, generators, troubleshooting. A GC has whatever scope you actually take. Each page ranks for that exact search. One generic services page ranks for nothing.
Online booking or after-hours capture. Booking for jobs people schedule (HVAC tune-ups, panel inspections, drain cleanings). After-hours capture for emergencies. Sometimes both.
Reviews pulled from Google live. Not testimonial widgets you bought from a third party. Not screenshots. Real Google reviews surfaced on the homepage with stars, names, dates. Trust is the bottleneck for first-time customers.
Real photos of your team and trucks. Stock photos kill conversion. Homeowners can spot a stock photo in half a second and they read it as "you're hiding something." A real photo of your truck in front of a real local house outperforms every stock comp by a measurable margin.
Plus a service area block, a license number, and an emergency badge if you do after-hours. None of these is optional in 2026. They're the price of being taken seriously.
Based on $5,000/mo Google Ads. Industry average conversion: 4-8%. Bad site: 2-3%. The gap on $5K of monthly ad spend runs $1,500-$5,000/mo across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and GC verticals.
We ran sales and operations at Carini Heating and Air in San Diego. HVAC, but the call patterns transfer across all four trades. Dispatch is dispatch. CSRs answer the phone the same way. Booking flows look the same. The website conversion problems look the same.
What we bring is the operator's lens, not the agency's. We've sat in dispatch. We've watched the daily numbers change when the website changed. We know what data you actually need from the site to staff next week's schedule.
We build sites for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and GCs. The playbook is the same. The copy is different.
