In this age of instant information, potential customers rarely flip through the phone book looking for heating and cooling service and maintenance. In today’s world, we just jump on the Internet and head to our favorite search engines, like Google. If your company’s website doesn’t pop up on the first page of results, most likely I, and most other potential customers, am not going to call you.

Findability is just one of the elements reviewed in The NEWS’ monthly column, Net Results.

In Net Results, we showcase an HVACR industry website and have Internet market expert, Ben Landers, president of Blue Corona, review each site and offer suggestions on how to improve in key areas such as search engine optimization (SEO), design, accessibility, trust, and more.

We’re currently seeking contracting websites to review. If you think you have an outstanding website, or you just want to see what you can improve upon, contact me at nicolekrawcke@achrnews.com.
