Key Takeaways

Regularly monitor your keyword rankings (AC repair, furnace installation, etc.) on a monthly basis to gauge your marketing agency's effectiveness; don't panic over minor fluctuations, but investigate significant drops.

Understand your website's 'Domain Authority' (you can check it on sites like Ahrefs.com) as it's a key indicator of your site's credibility and search engine standing.

Prioritize acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sources (e.g., .edu, .gov, or well-established local businesses) over a large quantity of low-quality links, as quality significantly impacts your domain authority.

Address all website errors, especially 404 'page not found' errors, as they negatively impact your SEO by signaling poor site maintenance to search engines.

Ensure your marketing agency has a distinct SEO strategy for desktop, mobile, voice search, and AI platforms (like ChatGPT) as these are different avenues for potential customers to find your services.

Implement unique call tracking numbers to accurately attribute leads directly to your SEO efforts, separating them from branded searches or other marketing channels to truly understand ROI.

Optimize your website for fast loading speeds on both desktop and mobile devices, and create dedicated service-specific and location-specific pages (e.g., 'Furnace Repair Noblesville Indiana') to match user search intent more precisely.
