How much should an HVAC company in Van spend on digital marketing?

Depends on what you're after, but most small-town HVAC businesses can get real traction starting at $750/mo. That covers management and strategy. You're not competing in a huge metro market, so your ad costs stay lower.

Should I do Google Ads or Facebook Ads for my HVAC business?

Google Ads tend to catch people who need help right now — AC broke, heater won't kick on. Facebook is better for offers and seasonal pushes, like maintenance plan signups. Most HVAC companies benefit from both at different times of year.

How do I know if my marketing is actually working?

Call tracking and form tracking. Every lead should be traceable back to the ad or campaign that generated it. If your current setup can't tell you where a call came from, you're guessing. We set up tracking so you always know.

Can I start with a small budget and scale up later?

Yes, and that's usually the smart move. Start small, figure out what's converting, then put more money behind the winners. No reason to dump a big budget into something unproven.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

If your current site loads slow, doesn't have your phone number front and center, or looks rough on a phone — yeah, it's going to hurt your ad performance. People click the ad and then bounce. We can build you a full site starting at $1,500 if that's the case.

What's the difference between SEO and paid ads for HVAC?

SEO builds up over time — you show up in search results without paying per click. Ads get you there immediately but cost money every time someone clicks. Best setup is usually both. Ads for right now, SEO for the long game.

Where are Van homeowners actually looking when the AC quits?

Small town, small window. When somebody's AC dies in July in Van, they're not browsing Instagram. They're grabbing their phone and searching. Maybe they ask in the Van community Facebook group. Maybe they Google "AC repair near me" and call whoever shows up first.

The whole point of a marketing plan is figuring out which of those moments matter most for your business — and showing up in those exact spots. Not everywhere. Not blasting ads across six platforms because some agency told you that's how it's done. Just the places where people in Van and Van Zandt County are actually looking for help with their heat and air.

Google search ads can work well for emergency calls. Facebook can work for selling maintenance plans before summer hits. Email can keep you top of mind with past customers when the seasons change. But you don't need all of it at once, and you definitely don't need to spend thousands a month to get started.

Ok so what does this actually look like

You tell us what kind of jobs you want more of. Emergency calls? Maintenance agreements? New installs? That changes everything about where we spend money.

Say you want more emergency repair calls. We'd probably start with Google search ads targeting people in Van, Edom, Grand Saline, Canton — that whole stretch of Van Zandt County. Tight targeting. Small daily budget. We track which searches lead to actual calls, not just clicks. If a keyword costs money and nobody ever picks up the phone from it, we kill it.

Or say you want to push maintenance plans heading into fall. That's more of a Facebook and email play. Run an ad to Van homeowners offering early-bird pricing on a furnace tune-up. Simple landing page, simple form. You get the lead, you close the deal.

We run your ads and marketing starting at $750/mo. That includes the management, the ad spend strategy, and actually watching what's working. No six-month contract where you're locked in wondering if anything's happening.

The part nobody talks about

— Most HVAC companies in small towns have tried ads at least once. Usually Google Ads. Usually set it up themselves or had some company do it remotely. And it felt like throwing money into a hole.

— That's almost never because ads don't work. It's because nobody set them up right. Wrong keywords. Too broad a radius. Landing page that doesn't even have your phone number above the fold. Stuff like that.

— You don't need a huge budget to market an HVAC company in a town of a few thousand people. You need a small budget pointed in the right direction.

— Seasonal timing matters more than most people think. Running AC ads in February is cheap but nobody's buying. Running them in June means you're competing with every other company. The sweet spot is that weird window in April and May when people start thinking about it but haven't called anyone yet.

— We're not going to pretend we know your business better than you. But we do know how to set up campaigns that track real results — calls, form fills, booked jobs — not vanity numbers.
