On "When AI Recommends Your HVAC Business"

Google's zero-click answers are already routing customer intent away from your website entirely, which means your SEO ranking means nothing if the algorithm just hands the homeowner an answer without sending them anywhere—and most shops don't have the infrastructure to show up in those AI-generated results, let alone track whether they're losing jobs to it. The real threat isn't that AI will recommend you; it's that AI will recommend *against* calling anyone at all by answering the question on the search page itself. You need to know whether your phones are ringing less because your ranking dropped or because homeowners never got sent to you in the first place, and right now almost nobody has that visibility. Stop measuring clicks and starts measuring phone calls and booked appointments instead, because the old funnel is already broken.
