Background
72 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning serving the Raleigh, NC metro area. http://www.cleanairnc.com/
The problem
72 Degrees knew the internet was capable of helping their business but hadn’t found a solution that generated a noticeable impact. They had tried many other specific SEO solutions to no real results and were skeptical of something that wasn’t even an SEO solution helping.
The solution
They liked the idea of increasing the number of reviews they generated from work, after all, they take pride in their work and make sure every possible customer is satisfied. So the NearbyNow solution of summarizing every job and requesting reviews from customers was a natural fit. 72 Degrees also implemented the service technician profile pages which allow them to send customers an appointment confirmation with a link to the page detailing the qualifications, job history and reviews of the technician coming to do the work.
The results
The results speak for themselves – 72 Degrees is so happy with the results, they are spreading the word to other contractors to tell them how this solution can help build online presence and trust.
This program has also yielded new citations and inbound links to their website – in fact they’ve added 14 new links without doing any targeted effort to that end.
And the most important number – the number of new reviews exceeds 150 when both the NearbyNow platform and external review sites are counted. 72 Degrees is more visible and able to develop immediate trust when prospects find them. This translates to more opportunities.
