Joseph Davis, Dennis Yu and Luke Crowson on a call to discuss the SEO strategies of Brothers HVAC, AC & Heating Repair
This article has a clear goal.
Explain how one high-quality backlink can trigger measurable SEO results for a local service business.
This post itself is that backlink for Brothers HVAC, a family-owned HVAC company based in Carrollton, Texas, with a second verified location in Argyle, Texas.
We are not theorizing. We are demonstrating. And that distinction matters.
Background: Connected Through Trusted Relationships
We met Joseph Davis, the owner of Brothers HVAC, through Drew Gay of Mr. Reliable Heating & Air, another HVAC client we serve in Texas.
These referrals matter.
When one trustworthy business introduces another, we’re starting with built-in credibility. Joseph came to us not asking for tricks, but for results.
Content: Where HVAC SEO Usually Breaks
In our first working session with Joseph, we looked at real data together.
The pattern matched what we’ve seen in hundreds of service businesses:
- Dozens of 5-star Google reviews
- Fast-loading, clean website
- Decent content with service pages for multiple cities
But…
- No meaningful backlinks
- Domain Rating close to zero
- Links mostly from directories and listing aggregators
This weak link profile meant:
- Only the homepage ranks well
- City-specific pages are practically invisible
- Google Maps relies solely on proximity and reviews—not site authority
What Makes a Link Actually Count?
To pass real SEO value, a backlink must meet these four criteria:
- From a site with editorial standards
- Topically relevant
- Placed inside useful, educational content
- Tied to a real entity or relationship
This article checks all four.
It lives on BlitzMetrics, a trusted authority in local SEO and digital training.
It features a real client, in a real location, with a real working relationship.
It links naturally, inside a case study, not as fluff or filler.
Why This Backlink Matters for Brothers HVAC
Joseph already runs his business the right way:
- No pressure sales
- Focused on fixing, not upselling
- Responsive, honest communication
What he lacked was off-site confirmation of that trust.
This link begins to correct that.
It will:
- Push SEO authority into their Carrollton and Argyle pages
- Boost crawl priority of inner pages
- Strengthen Map Pack visibility by confirming relevance beyond reviews
- Help Google trust that this is a real, active, reputable company
Backlinks amplify content and reviews. Amplifying correctly is how you scale results.
How It Fits the MAA Framework
We follow MAA: Metrics, Analysis, Action.
- Metrics: DR near zero. Weak city page rankings.
- Analysis: Strong business foundation, but no external signals of trust.
- Action: Create proof-based content that earns high-authority links.
This article is the action.
