HVAC website playbook that turns traffic into booked jobs

Brendan Makidon • October 15, 2025

A fast Duda site connected to a GoHighLevel portal can convert 2 to 5 times better than a generic site because it captures leads, follows up automatically, and shows you exactly what channel produced the call.

Who this is for
HVAC business owners who want their website to book real appointments, not just collect clicks.

Quick takeaway
A fast Duda site connected to a GoHighLevel portal can convert 2 to 5 times better than a generic site because it captures leads, follows up automatically, and shows you exactly what channel produced the call.


Why most HVAC websites underperform

Most sites look fine but fail at three critical jobs:

  1. They do not capture intent
    No above-the-fold call button, no quick quote form, no “book now” widget. Visitors bounce.
  2. They do not follow up
    If a lead fills a form at 7 pm, no one replies until morning. That lead calls a competitor.
  3. They do not prove trust
    Thin reviews, no service area clarity, outdated photos, and slow mobile speed kill conversions.


The modern HVAC stack that fixes it

Here is the simple setup we deploy for HVAC pros:

  • Duda front end
    Fast, clean, mobile-first pages with a clear call button, sticky header, and compression for speed.
  • GoHighLevel backend
    Forms and chat go straight into pipelines, with instant SMS and email follow-ups and a shared inbox.
  • Tracking and reviews
    Source tagging for every form and call, automated review requests, and a live review widget.


Page blueprint that consistently converts

Use these sections on the homepage and core service pages:

  1. Hero section
    One sentence promise, a call button, and a book online button.
    Example text: “Same day HVAC service in [City]. Call now or book online.”
  2. Top services grid
    Heating repair, AC repair, new system installation, ductless mini splits, maintenance plans.
    Each tile links to a dedicated service page.
  3. Trust and proof
    Star rating from Google, review snippets, brand logos, license and insurance badges.
  4. Service area block
    “Proudly serving [Primary City] and nearby communities including [City 1], [City 2], [City 3].”
  5. Lead capture that feels helpful
    Short quote form with three fields and a “send photo” option.
  6. FAQ and financing
    Transparent answers on response times, warranties, and payment options.


How automation books more jobs while you work

When a lead contacts you, the system should do the following in seconds:

  • Create a contact in the Leads pipeline with a source tag like “Website form” or “Google call.”
  • Send a text message that says “Thanks for reaching out. Do you want the first available appointment today or tomorrow”
  • Alert your dispatcher in the shared inbox and mobile app.
  • If the lead does not reply, send a gentle follow-up 20 minutes later.
  • After the job, send a review request that links to your Google profile.

This alone reduces no-shows and lifts your closing rate without hiring more staff.


Local SEO play that actually matters

You do not need dozens of fluffy blog posts. You need four pillars done right:

  1. Service pages
    One page each for AC repair, furnace repair, installation, ductless, maintenance, and indoor air quality.
  2. City pages
    Build genuine city pages for the towns you truly serve. Include photos, a short case study, and unique FAQs.
  3. Google Business Profile
    Weekly photo updates, fresh offers, and responses to every review.
  4. Site speed and UX
    Under two seconds on mobile, tap-to-call buttons, and a sticky “Book Online” button.

Case style example

A contractor in Mid Michigan moved from a slow template site to a Duda build with a GoHighLevel portal. The homepage conversion rate went from 2.3 percent to 7.9 percent in six weeks. Nothing fancy. Clear calls to action, a short quote form, and automated follow-ups.


What to track in your dashboard

Do not drown in metrics. Watch these five:

  • Calls and forms by source
  • Booked jobs by source
  • Average response time
  • Review count and average rating
  • Revenue per service type

If a channel is not generating booked jobs, you will see it quickly and shift spend.


Pricing model that keeps cash flow simple

  • Build once for the website and setup
  • Monthly plan for hosting, security, CRM, review requests, and small updates
  • Add seasonal campaigns for tune ups and financing promos


What you can do this week

  1. Put a call button and a book button at the top of every page.
  2. Replace long forms with three fields and a photo upload.
  3. Turn on instant SMS for new leads.
  4. Publish a real service area block with the cities you actually serve.
  5. Ask for two reviews after every completed job.
