87% of BC homes still don't have a heat pump — and homeowners are searching right now. Rankwise helps HVAC contractors in Greater Vancouver show up first on Google for heat pump and CleanBC rebate searches, with local SEO and GBP management on one flat monthly retainer.
87% of BC homes still heat with gas, oil, or electric baseboard — not heat pumps. With CleanBC offering up to $21,000 in combined rebates and $50 million in annual funding committed through 2027, homeowners are actively searching for installers. The contractors winning these searches aren't necessarily the best installers. They're the ones who show up first on Google.
Most HVAC contractors don't have time to manage their Google rankings while running a business. So the phone only rings when a past customer refers you — and meanwhile, homeowners searching "heat pump installer Richmond BC" are booking with whoever shows up in the map pack.
Rankwise is a local SEO and GBP management agency built specifically for heat pump contractors in Greater Vancouver. We focus on the keywords homeowners actually search when they're ready to book — not vanity traffic that doesn't convert to calls.
87% of BC homes haven't switched to heat pumps yet. When those homeowners start searching, here's everything we do to make sure they find you first.
Ranking for "heat pump installer Surrey" or "CleanBC rebate contractor Richmond" requires knowing which signals Google responds to in your local market — and building them consistently.
Your GBP is what puts you in the map pack. We treat it as a full marketing channel — not an afterthought.
Homeowners researching CleanBC heat pump rebates are the highest-intent buyers in BC. They've done the research — they just need a contractor they can find and trust.
We review your Google rankings for heat pump keywords, your GBP listing, and how you stack up against other HVAC contractors in your city — before you spend anything.
We fully optimise your GBP, build your local SEO foundation around heat pump and panel upgrade keywords, and activate your rebate calculator. Takes 3–5 days.
GBP optimisation delivers measurable local ranking improvement within 30 days — guaranteed. Heat pump keyword rankings build from there over 60–90 days.
Rankings report, booking data, check-in call, and ongoing improvements — including seasonal heat pump content and rebate updates — every month.
That's roughly 1.7 million households still on gas, oil, or electric baseboard — and government rebates are pushing them to switch right now. The contractors who rank for these searches are booking the installs.
SEO isn't instant. Anyone who tells you it is either doesn't understand local search or is selling you something. Here's what HVAC contractors in Greater Vancouver can realistically expect.
A properly optimised Google Business Profile — with complete services, regular posts, and review responses — consistently outperforms neglected listings in local map results. This is the fastest, most reliable lever and where we start.
On-page SEO and local citation signals take time to compound. Most contractors see meaningful keyword movement for heat pump and rebate searches by month two or three. Competitive markets like Vancouver proper may take longer.
Local SEO builds on itself. Every optimised page, every citation, every GBP post makes the next one more effective. Contractors who stay past six months see the strongest results — and the gains tend to hold even if you pause.
With 87% of BC homes still on fossil fuels or electric baseboard, every city has significant untapped demand. Our campaigns are built city-by-city — because ranking for "heat pump installation Richmond BC" requires different targeting than Burnaby or Surrey.
Richmond is where we're based. It has the highest heat pump adoption rates in the Lower Mainland, a large single-family homeowner base, and strong CleanBC rebate search volume — making it an ideal starting market for HVAC contractors.
BC's fastest-growing city with tens of thousands of detached homes and a massive heat pump replacement market. High search volume and strong rebate uptake.
Active search market for heat pump installers and electricians doing panel upgrades. Many HVAC contractors here have underoptimised GBP listings — which means a well-managed profile can stand out quickly.
BC's most competitive and highest-volume local search market. Heat pump contractors who rank well here see strong, consistent booking volume year-round.
A homeowner searching "heat pump rebate BC" has already decided they want a heat pump. They've checked their eligibility. They know they qualify for up to $21,000. They're not browsing — they're looking for the contractor who'll help them claim it. If you show up in that search with a GBP that mentions rebates and a tool that confirms their eligibility, you're not competing on price. You're the obvious choice. That's what Rankwise builds for you.
