12 Google Business Profile posts for HVAC companies, ready to paste

Your Google Business Profile is the page a homeowner reads at 9pm with no heat. Posts are the part of it you control every month, and the part most shops leave empty for a year at a time.

Below: twelve drafts you can paste, a cadence a three-truck shop can keep, and the mechanics that decide whether a post goes live or gets rejected.

The mechanics worth knowing before you write

These are from Google's own help pages, not from a blog.

• There are three post types: Updates, Offers and Events. Updates are what an HVAC shop wants almost every time. An Update takes a description, a photo or video, and an action button with a link.
• Offers require a title and dates, and Google adds a "View Offer" button automatically. Use Offers when there is a real dated deal, not as a general post type.
• Posts older than six months are archived unless you set a date range. So an evergreen post is not permanent. It ages out.
• Every post is reviewed against Google's posts content policy. Status shows as Live, Pending, or Not approved. Not approved tells you which policy it hit.
• A post description that includes a phone number may get rejected. This one catches shops constantly, because putting the number in the text is the natural instinct. Put the number in a Call now button instead of in the body.
• Google's content tips call out regulated industries, financial services among them, and say not to include content about the products. Keep a financing post about the conversation you will have, not about rates, terms or a lender.
• You can schedule a post ahead, and set it to repeat weekly, monthly, or on a custom schedule. That is the whole trick for a shop with nobody assigned to marketing.

Google's help pages do not publish a character count for the post description. The editor enforces one and will refuse to save something too long. Write short and you never meet the limit.

How long a post should be

Aim for 100 to 250 characters of body. Roughly two or three plain sentences. On a phone, a long post gets folded behind a tap, and the fold lands early, so the first sentence carries the whole post. Say the useful thing first and the invitation second.

Every draft below sits in that range on purpose.

About the button

Google confirms an Update can carry an action button with a link. The label comes from a short list in the editor, and that list can change. Each draft below names the label to reach for. If your editor shows something different, pick the closest match and move on.

The 12 drafts

Replace every bracket before you publish. Do not publish a bracket. Do not publish a claim your shop cannot back up, including licence numbers, years in business, or a price you have not checked this week.

1. Spring AC tune-up

Copy this

AC season starts in [CITY] before it feels like it. A spring tune-up covers the coil, the refrigerant charge, the condensate drain and the capacitor. Most of what fails in July is already visible in April.

Suggested button: Book. Post it in late March or early April.

2. Summer heat wave and emergency calls

Copy this

[CITY] is forecast into the 90s this week. If the AC is running and the house is not cooling, shut it off before the coil freezes, then call. We are holding same-day slots for no-cool calls.

Suggested button: Call now. Write this one the morning the forecast turns, not in advance. It is the single post where being current beats being polished.

3. Fall furnace check

Copy this

Turn the heat on for ten minutes this week, before you need it. A few minutes of burning dust is normal. Anything past that is worth looking at now, while a furnace visit is not an emergency.

Suggested button: Book. Post it in the first half of September.

4. Winter no-heat

Copy this

No heat this morning in [CITY]. Check three things: thermostat batteries, the switch on the wall by the furnace, and the filter. If all three are fine, stop there and call us. No-heat calls go first.

Suggested button: Call now.

5. Financing

Copy this

Replacing a system is a bigger number than most people had planned for. We will walk you through the payment options available to you before you decide anything, in writing, with no obligation.

Suggested button: Learn more, pointed at your own page. Keep the specifics of any lender, rate or term off the post and on that page.

6. Filter reminder

Copy this

Filter check. If yours has been in longer than three months, change it. A loaded filter makes the blower work harder and moves less air. Write the date on the edge in marker so the next one is easy.

Suggested button: Learn more, or no button at all. This one exists to be useful, not to book anything.

7. New install photo

Copy this

New system installed in [NEIGHBORHOOD] this week. The old unit was [AGE] years old and losing charge every season. Two techs, one day, and we left the crawlspace cleaner than we found it.

Suggested button: Learn more. Your own photo of that job goes on this post.

8. Team hire

Copy this

[FIRST NAME] joined our service team this month with [N] years on residential heating and cooling. He is riding with our lead tech for two weeks before he starts running calls on his own.

Suggested button: Learn more. A hire post tells a homeowner a stranger will be at the door and that you are not a one-person answering service.

9. Service area

Copy this

We cover [CITY], [TOWN], [TOWN] and [TOWN] for heating and cooling repair, maintenance and replacement. If you are just outside that line, ask us. Some days we can reach you, some days we cannot.

Suggested button: Learn more, pointed at your service area page. If you do not have one, that page is worth an hour.

10. Review request

Copy this

If we were out to your house this year, a few honest words about how it went help the next homeowner decide who to let in the door. Reviews of any rating are useful to us.

Suggested button: Learn more, pointed at your Google review link. Note the wording: any rating, no incentive, no steering. Google's policy prohibits offering payment, discounts or free goods for reviews, and prohibits selectively soliciting positive ones. A post that offers anything in exchange is a policy problem, not a clever idea.

11. Maintenance plan

Copy this

Our maintenance plan is [N] visits a year, spring and fall, for [PRICE] a year. It covers both seasonal tune-ups and puts you at the front of the schedule instead of in the January backlog.

Suggested button: Sign up, or Learn more if there is nothing to sign on your site yet.

12. Indoor air quality

Copy this

Dust settling back an hour after you clean usually means air is going around the filter instead of through it. We check filter fit, return leaks and duct joints before recommending any equipment.

Suggested button: Learn more. Notice it recommends checking before selling. That is the reason a post like this gets read.

Cadence that survives a busy season

Two posts a month is a rhythm a shop with no marketing person can hold. Four is better and usually collapses by March. A steady two beats a burst of nine in January followed by silence until August.

The workable pattern:

• One seasonal post, tied to what the weather is doing that month.
• One evergreen post from the list above, rotated so the same one does not come back inside six months.
• One extra unscheduled post the week the weather breaks, hot or cold. Those are the posts a searching homeowner actually reads.

Set aside 20 minutes on the same day each month, the day you do something else administrative anyway. Paste the two posts, attach a photo to each, schedule the second for two weeks out, done. Use the repeat option for the filter reminder and the service area post so they refresh without you.

Because posts archive after six months, put the two evergreen ones you care about most on a repeating schedule rather than trusting them to stay visible.

Leadward writes these drafts one shop at a time, from that shop's verified services, towns and offers, and the shop publishes them from its own Google account. The format above is the same format that gets delivered.

Photos

A post with your own photo of your own work reads as a real business. A post with a stock photo of a smiling technician in a clean shirt reads as an agency, and every homeowner can tell.

What to shoot, from the truck, on a phone:

• The finished install, straight on, with the space around it visible.
• The failed part on the tailgate, next to the new one.
• A tech at the electrical panel or the attic hatch, taken from behind, no faces needed.
• The thermostat showing the temperature you fixed.

Shoot in daylight where you can. One good photo beats four blurry ones. Ask techs to send two photos a week to a shared album and you never run short.

What not to post

• No phone number in the body. It risks rejection. The button is where the number belongs.
• No prices you have not verified this week. A stale price in public costs you the trust the post was meant to build.
• No claims about licensing, certifications, awards or years in business that you cannot show on your own site.
• No holiday graphics with no service content. A cartoon snowman is not a reason a homeowner calls.
• No specifics about lenders, rates or terms in a financing post, given Google's guidance on regulated industries.
• No arguing with a review inside a post, and no reference to a specific customer's job without their say.
• No copy from a competitor's site or another shop's post. Your towns, your equipment, your words.
• No walls of text. If it does not fit in three sentences, it is a page on your site, and the post is the link to it.

If you want the shortest possible version of this: write the two posts on the first Monday of the month, attach a photo your own tech took, put the phone number in the button rather than the text, and keep the seasonal one honest about what the weather is doing this week.
