Real Lake County Success Story

How a Grayslake HVAC Company Doubled Emergency Calls

DoRight Heating & Cooling

HVAC Services • Grayslake, IL

The Challenge

Rich had been in business for 15 years but was struggling to compete online. His old website looked dated, wasn't mobile-friendly, and didn't rank for any local searches. Meanwhile, newer competitors with modern websites were capturing all the online leads.

Our Solution

We built a fast, mobile-optimized website with clear emergency contact buttons, local SEO targeting "Grayslake HVAC," "Lake County AC repair,"and "24/7 heating emergency." Plus Google Business Profile optimization and customer testimonials from local homeowners.

The Results

Within 3 months, DoRight was ranking #1 for "emergency HVAC Grayslake" and top 3 for "Lake County AC repair." Emergency calls doubled, and Rich had to hire two additional technicians to keep up with demand.

Worth every penny. When someone's AC breaks at 10 PM, they find ME first now. That's where the real money is.
