Use an SEO Keyword Research Tool

After getting your seed keywords, enter them into a keyword research tool. You can use tools like Google Keyword Planner or Semrush. Ensure you select your business location before searching for keywords.

Alternatively, use Google suggested searches that appear as you type in your seed keywords and the “people also ask section” to find related questions users commonly search for.

Qualify the Best HVAC Keywords You Discovered

Typically, your keyword research tool will display a table of keywords with search volume, keyword difficulty, cost per click(CPC), and PPC competition. 

Now use the filter option to display keywords with low to medium difficulty. Take note of detailed long-tail keywords though with lesser traffic as well as short-tail keywords, and also the related search terms.

Then save the page or export the keywords. 

Research your Competitors

If you know your competitors, enter their site URL in your keyword research tool to find the keywords that they’re ranking for. 

Also, you can run a Google search on some of the keywords in your list to find the competitors in your location. Then, look for gaps or opportunities to target keywords that your competitors might be overlooking.

What is the Keyword Competition Level?

Keyword competition level refers to the difficulty of ranking for a specific keyword in SERPs. Several factors contribute to the competition level of an HVAC keyword, they are:

High-volume keywords, like “air conditioning repair,” will naturally have more competition due to their potential to attract a greater audience.

Domain Authority (DA)

Websites with established authority and high DA will likely rank higher for competitive keywords, pushing lower authority sites further down the SERPs.

Backlink Profile

Websites with strong backlink profiles are more likely to rank higher for competitive keywords compared to those with weak backlink profiles.

Paid Advertising

The presence of paid advertisements for the same keyword can further increase competition, making it harder for organic results to gain visibility.
