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.
