Heat Pump
Example business: a heat pump installer with 6 install teams based in Tauranga, serving the wider Tauranga area and focused on high-wall heat pump installation and ducted heat pumps. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through Builderscrack and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive survey requests, a lower cost per install and a pipeline the owner controls.
The challenge
Where a business like this gets stuck
- Heat pumps are a new purchase for most homeowners, so buyers need education before they are ready to talk to an installer.
- Grants and energy prices move the market quickly, and campaigns must keep pace.
- Many enquiries come from homes that aren't ready for a heat pump without insulation work first.
- Peak season (demand peaks from march to august, ahead of and during winter) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.
The approach
Three services, one goal
This example focuses on AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and Content Marketing, three channels that can suit heat pump businesses in Tauranga. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
What the work could include
The technical work, service by service.
Service 1
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)

- Optimise for voice and conversational queries such as "how much does high-wall heat pump installation cost near me".

- Earn mentions on trusted third-party sites (industry bodies, local news, comparison articles) that AI models draw from.
- Track buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews every month to measure citations and share of voice.
Service 3

- Build a content plan of articles around cost, comparison and how-to questions for high-wall heat pump installation and ducted heat pumps.
- Produce short videos from real jobs and repurpose them for the website, Google Business Profile, YouTube and social.
