LeadValets

Marketing Services·1-10 employees

Every plumbing and HVAC company in a service area competes for the same digital real estate: the Map pack, the AI answer, the review comparison, the first phone call. The companies that own that real estate get the jobs. The companies that don't buy leads forever. LeadValets exists to help one company per trade, per service area, own it. Search changed underneath the trades. 45% of consumers used an AI assistant to find a local business in the past year — up from 6% the year before — while plumbing and HVAC lead costs from Local Services Ads keep climbing. Renting visibility gets more expensive every year. Owning it compounds. Our methodology is the Search Authority Flywheel™, built on four pillars: Own Google — high-intent local SEO, Google Maps, and Google Business Profile management Own AI — Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and structured data that earn AI citations Own Trust — review velocity and reputation that homeowners and algorithms both reward Own Conversions — websites and landing pages built to ring the phone We never work with two competitors in the same market. One plumber, one HVAC company, one city. Current focus markets: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas, and St Louis, MO. Headquartered in St. Louis.
