At Maxweb Solutions, we offer a range of SEO strategies that are specifically tailored to heating engineers and other trade professionals. Here’s how we help you get ahead of the competition:
Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimisation
Local SEO is critical for heating engineers who rely on local customers. We optimise your website to rank for location-specific keywords, ensuring that you appear in Google’s “local pack” – the top three results that include a map and directions.
We also fully optimise your Google Business Profile, making sure it includes accurate information about your business, such as your address, phone number, services offered, and opening hours. Regularly updating your profile with photos, posts, and customer reviews is key to standing out and improving your local rankings.
When potential customers search for ‘emergency heating repair” or “new boiler installation” in your area, we need to make sure we have as much visibility at the top of the search engines as possible.
Keyword Research for Heating Engineers
Effective SEO starts with targeting the right keywords. We conduct in-depth research to identify high-value search terms that potential customers are using. These keywords include both broad terms like “boiler installation” and specific long-tail keywords like “underfloor heating installation in (specific location).”
We need to match these keywords to a relevant landing page on your website. If you do not have a page targeting “boiler installation”, it will be difficult to compete against businesses that do. So keyword research will identify what pages need updating and what new pages we need to create on your website to grow organic visibility.
Keywords could include:
- Boiler installation (your city)
- Central heating repair
- Central heating installation
- Radiator installation
- Emergency boiler repairs (your city)
- Gas boiler servicing
- Commercial heating systems
- Underfloor heating specialists
- Heat pump installation
Content Optimisation for Service Pages
Having dedicated service pages for each of your core services (e.g., boiler repair, heating installation, radiator installation) is crucial for SEO. We optimise these pages to include the right keywords, meta tags, and high-quality content that explains the benefits of your services.
In addition to service pages, creating helpful blog posts or guides, such as “Common Boiler Problems in Winter” or “How to Maintain Your Central Heating System,” can help attract more visitors to your site while demonstrating your expertise in the area.
By creating pages on the website covering as many topics related to heating on the website, we will grow our topical authority on the subject. Growing topical authority sends a signal to the search engines that we specialise in this particular subject, and this, in turn, will help us grow in the sector.
Link Building & Local Citations
To increase your website’s authority and rankings, we focus on building high-quality backlinks from relevant, trusted websites. For heating engineers, this often includes getting your business listed in local directories for local search and obtaining links from industry-related websites.
We source links from places of relevance, such as partners in the industry who supply us with parts, gas safety registers, and tradesman platforms.
These backlinks act as “votes of confidence” in the eyes of search engines, helping to improve your rankings and drive more traffic to your site.
Page Speed and Technical SEO
A fast, mobile-friendly website is also important for ranking well in search engines and providing a good user experience. Our technical SEO services ensure that your site loads quickly, is fully optimised for mobile devices, and has a clear, well-structured layout that search engines can easily crawl.
This not only helps improve your search engine rankings but also reduces bounce rates, keeping visitors on your site longer and increasing the chances they’ll contact you.
