Case Study

Coastal Air Solutions:
8 calls to 42 in 6 weeks

A Cape Coral HVAC company running on Craigslist ads and a half-finished website. We built them a brand, a booking engine, and a Google presence that fills their schedule — even in the off-season.

The Problem

Licensed and skilled, but invisible online

Ray started Coastal Air Solutions 6 years ago after spending 15 years working for one of the big corporate HVAC chains in Southwest Florida. He knew the trade inside and out — AC installs, duct work, emergency repairs, preventive maintenance. His customers loved him. But finding new ones was a constant struggle.

His "marketing strategy" was a Craigslist ad he renewed every week, a half-built website his nephew started but never finished, and a stack of business cards at the local hardware store. The website had a stock photo of a snowflake on the homepage (for an AC company in Florida), a contact form that didn't work, and no mention of Cape Coral, Fort Myers, or any actual service area.

The numbers told the story: 8 inbound calls per month from online sources. Everything else was repeat customers and referrals. During the slower winter months, revenue would drop 60%. Meanwhile, newer HVAC companies with polished websites and Google Ads were scooping up every "AC repair Cape Coral" search — a keyword with 1,400+ monthly searches that Ray was completely invisible for.

What We Did

The 6-week transformation

Week 1-2
Brand Identity + Conversion-Focused Website
First, we gave Coastal Air a real brand — a professional color scheme (navy and cool blue), clean logo mark, and consistent visual language. Then we built a fast, mobile-first website with online scheduling, instant callback requests, and emergency service booking. Separate city pages for Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, and Lehigh Acres — each optimized for "AC repair [city]" and "HVAC company near me." Load time: 1.4 seconds on mobile.
Week 2-3
Google Business Profile + Review Engine
Fully optimized their Google Business Profile — verified, categorized correctly, loaded with professional photos, and tagged with every HVAC service they offer. Built an automated review collection system: every completed service triggers a text message with a 1-click Google review link. In 6 weeks, they went from 19 reviews to 87 with a 4.9-star average. That review velocity pushed them into the local 3-pack for "AC repair Cape Coral."
Week 3-4
Google Ads + Emergency Service Campaign
Launched targeted Google Ads for high-intent HVAC searches across Lee County. Created separate campaigns for emergency repairs (highest value — $300-800 per job), new installs ($4,000-8,000), and maintenance plan signups ($199/year recurring). $35/day budget with aggressive bid strategies on emergency keywords. Cost per lead: $31. Average job value from ad leads: $520. ROI was 16:1 within the first month.
Week 4-6
Content + Maintenance Plan Upsell Strategy
Created educational content for the website and social channels — "5 Signs Your AC Is About to Fail," "Why Your Electric Bill Is So High," and seasonal maintenance reminders. But the real revenue driver was the maintenance plan funnel: a dedicated landing page with a $199/year plan that includes biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and 15% off repairs. Converted 23 one-time repair customers into annual plan members — $4,577 in locked-in annual revenue with a 72% renewal rate industry average.

In His Words

What Ray had to say

★★★★★
I spent 15 years turning wrenches for a big company before I went out on my own. I know HVAC. What I didn't know was marketing. I was posting on Craigslist every week and hoping the phone would ring. My nephew built me a website two years ago and never finished it — there was literally a stock photo of a snowflake as my hero image. An AC company. In Florida. With a snowflake. Elevara came in and in two weeks I had a website that actually looks like a real company. The booking system is incredible — people schedule service at 11pm and I just wake up to a full calendar. Last month I had to turn down three jobs because I was booked solid. That's a problem I never thought I'd have.
