23. How to Market Your HVAC Business Without Wasting Money

In part two of The Leading HVAC Podcast with Crystal Williams from Lemon Seed Marketing, we go even deeper into real-world HVAC marketing strategy. If you’ve ever asked: “How much should I spend?”, “Where do I put my money?”, or “Why isn’t my marketing working?”- this is your playbook. Crystal shares the biggest mistakes contractors make, how to market with (almost) no budget, and why social media, SEO, and community marketing matter more than you think. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to stretch your budget in a slow season, Crystal brings the mindset, methods, and practical steps to help HVAC leaders build their brand—and drive real results. Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Start with Grit Before You Have a Budget You don’t need a huge spend to make progress. Knock on doors, get out in the community, post real photos on your website, and stop relying on stock images. Hustle fills in the gaps when money is tight. 2️⃣ Know the Three Buckets, and What Goes in Each Every dollar you spend should fall into one of three marketing buckets: • Branding - long-term visibility (radio, community events, social) • Call to Action - lead drivers (PPC, LSA, direct mail offers) • Cultivation - staying top of mind (email/text campaigns, rehash strategies) 3️⃣ Measure What Matters, Not Just What’s Easy The best KPIs aren’t always lead volume. They’re new customer acquisition, return on ad spend, and channel performance over time. Crystal’s rule? If you’re not getting at least 8-10x revenue on your spend, it’s time to evaluate your strategy. Learn more about SBE at ⁠⁠sbeodyssey.com⁠
