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.
