58 Austin local services & trades businesses that have a website which blocked our scanner — common when a site filters datacenter traffic, and not a sign the site is broken. Listed with their site; a blocked site is never scored zero.
The firms, funds and institutions that set the terms in local services & trades — context, not local listings; never scored.
24/7 availability, after-hours coverage, realistic response windows, and what a homeowner should do while waiting for a truck.
One substantive page per city and neighborhood actually served — landmarks, permit jurisdictions, housing stock — instead of one page cloned across a county.
A page per job type (AC repair, water heater replacement, panel upgrade, drain cleaning) since search demand is per-job, not per-company.
Published ranges, what a diagnostic fee covers, whether it is waived with repair, free estimate on replacement vs paid diagnosis on repair.
Monthly payment options, promotional terms, utility rebates and tax credits that change the effective price of a replacement.
Annual agreements, priority scheduling, repair discounts — the recurring revenue that smooths seasonality and raises company valuation.
Review collection workflow, responding to negatives, and honest handling now that gating and suppression are illegal under FTC rules.
License numbers, bonding, liability and workers comp, background-checked techs, NATE certification — as verifiable facts, not badges.
Parts vs labor coverage, registration requirements, workmanship guarantees, and what actually voids coverage.
Comparison content for what a homeowner is choosing between — efficiency tiers, sizing, staging — written for someone spending five figures.
Pre-season tune-ups, freeze protection, storm prep, gutter season, spring programs — the calendar that drives inbound volume.
Symptom-first content ('AC blowing warm', 'breaker trips at night') that captures early search and converts to a booked call.
Decision frameworks tied to equipment age, repair cost share of replacement, refrigerant availability and remaining life.
Booking to completion — arrival windows, text-ahead tech photos, floor protection, cleanup, permits — which is what reviews reward.
Documenting damage, working with adjusters, deductibles, mitigation vs rebuild, and the legality of deductible handling.
Multi-family and light-commercial buyers purchase on contracts, response SLAs and net terms rather than urgency.
explain the homestead exemption for work you do on your own home, that anyone doing plumbing for hire must hold a state licence, and that permits and inspection still apply either way; point to the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners
name the two lookups — TDLR's licence search for air conditioning and refrigeration, TSBPE's Find-a-Plumber for plumbing — and note the licence number is required to appear in advertising, so a missing number is itself a signal
unpack all three separately and explain which one protects the homeowner versus the contractor; ask for the certificate of insurance rather than trusting the phrase
walk the diagnostic ladder — dirty filter, blocked or iced coil, low charge, duct leakage, undersized equipment — and be honest that on the hottest afternoons a correctly sized system can only hold a fixed split below outdoor temperature, so 'not reaching the setpoint' is not automatically a fault
explain the rating and that savings depend on runtime hours, rates and install quality; a badly installed high-SEER2 system underperforms a well-installed lower one — do not project a dollar saving
explain that existing systems keep running and refrigerant remains available for service, that new equipment uses A2L refrigerants, and that the change matters most when deciding repair versus replace
explain that it buys the truck roll and the diagnosis, and that many shops credit it toward the repair — tell the homeowner to ask whether it is credited before booking; do not state an amount
say yes in most Texas jurisdictions including Austin, that the licensed contractor normally pulls it, and that the homeowner should verify the permit exists because unpermitted work surfaces at resale; tell them to confirm with their local building department
explain the load calculation, why rule-of-thumb sizing by square footage produces oversized short-cycling systems, and that asking for the Manual J is a fair request
explain price-book pricing, that the homeowner carries no risk if the job runs long, and what to ask so the quote covers parts, permit and haul-away
explain mechanic's liens and lien waivers in general terms and that Texas has strict notice and deadline rules; tell them to get a signed waiver on payment and to consult an attorney for a live dispute
list what a plan typically bundles — scheduled visits, priority scheduling, a repair discount — and tell them to check whether the discount and priority are contractual or informal; do not quote a plan price
explain hiding the address, why a service-area profile ranks from its pin rather than everywhere in the radius, and why fake locations trigger suspension
explain proximity, prominence and relevance, and that Local Services Ads and the map pack now sit above organic results so ranking first organically still puts you below the fold
give the decision framework — repair cost against remaining life, refrigerant type, compressor versus capacitor, whether the ductwork is the real problem — and refuse to give a replace-if-over-this-amount rule
explain what usually differs — equipment tier, whether the line set and plenum are replaced, permit and inspection, warranty terms, load calculation — and tell them to compare scope line by line before price
