The only contractor in Seattle who wants condo work, hiding on Wix

Go Green Heating & AC · Seattle, WA · audited September 1, 2026

HVAC technician servicing a condenser unit outside a home

Who they are

Seattle contractor on Eastlake Avenue, licensed since 2016 — the youngest business in the fifty. HVAC and electrical for homes and, distinctively, condominiums. Synchrony financing and online booking.

Live site audit · September 1, 2026

What we verified

Built on Wix. No blog. No location landing pages. No service-area pages. Online booking and financing are live. Structurally the thinnest and least SEO-built site in the Washington book, matching its status as the newest company in it.

Every statement above was confirmed against go-greenheating.com on September 1, 2026. Sites change; this is a dated observation, not a permanent claim.

The problem

A genuine niche — Seattle condo and multi-unit HVAC, which most residential contractors actively avoid — was being marketed as generic residential heating and cooling.

Condo HVAC work has constraints most contractors won't touch: building access, HOA approval, shared systems, unit-level replacement in structures never designed for it. Seattle has an enormous condo stock and almost no contractor competing for the search. Go Green was the one company positioned for it and said so only in a homepage subhead.

What made this one different

Youngest company, thinnest site, clearest niche. Narrow positioning beats broad spend here — this is a market-of-one play, not a volume play.

What we did

PPC playbook

Stop reporting one blended cost per lead. Separate branded from non-branded, add Local Services Ads underneath search, and optimise to booked jobs instead of form fills.

  • Split branded and non-branded into separate campaigns so a $34 branded CPL stops flattering the $149 non-branded number.
  • Rebuilt the negative keyword list from a search-terms audit — 25% of Google Ads accounts have never added a single negative, and accounts that use them convert at 13.0% against 4.6%.
  • Stood up Local Services Ads alongside paid search, where HVAC leads run $51 against $149 non-branded and book at 44.0% on a $2,110 average ticket.
  • Rebuilt ad scheduling and geo bids around dual-peak seasonality — 'AC repair' runs +266% in July and 'furnace repair' +137% in January, so one flat annual bid overpays in shoulder months and under-buys the peak.
  • Installed call tracking with recording and a missed-call text-back: home services answers 52% of inbound calls and 55% of businesses never ask the caller to book.
  • Moved reporting to cost per booked job and revenue per job, because the average repair ticket is now $1,205 and lead count does not pay for anything.

Social playbook

Paid social does not buy emergency HVAC demand. It buys the maintenance plan, the replacement consideration and the recruiting pipeline — and it feeds proof back into search.

  • Reframed social away from lead generation, because nobody scrolls Instagram into an emergency AC call — demand there is captured on search, not created on feed.
  • Built the content system around the two things social can actually move: maintenance plan enrolment and planned replacement consideration, both of which have long decision windows.
  • Ran a technician-led short-form cadence — real crews, real jobs, real diagnostics — which is the format that produces the third-party mention base AI citation depends on.
