Written By The Art Of Business Content Team

Did you know that HVAC, plumbing, and electrical maintenance rank among the top priorities for homeowners and businesses alike? With heating systems essential for over 90% of Canadian homes, reliable services are a must. For more than 30 years, G.M. Mechanical has been a trusted name in the MD of Foothills and surrounding areas. 

As a family-owned, full-service provider and the only premier Lennox dealer in the region, G.M. Mechanical has built a reputation for quality and customer satisfaction, keeping homes and businesses running comfortably and efficiently. However, even a company with a reputation as strong as G.M. Mechanical needs a solid digital presence to connect with its community in today’s market. 

This is where The Art of Business stepped in. Our marketing services have helped G.M. Mechanical amplify their brand online, reach new audiences, and grow their impact. Here’s how we crafted a strategy to bring G.M. Mechanical’s vision to life.

Understanding the Needs of G.M. Mechanical: The Path to Stronger Brand Visibility

G.M. Mechanical had established a solid reputation and loyal client base through years of dedicated service. But as they looked to expand their reach and grow their brand, they faced several key challenges:

  • Inconsistent Brand Visibility: While G.M. Mechanical had a strong local presence, they wanted to build a digital identity that would consistently reflect their credibility and reliability to a wider audience. Their goal was to reach people actively searching for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services online, presenting the same trustworthiness they’re known for in person.
  • Limited Resources for Marketing: As a service-based business, their time was primarily dedicated to on-the-ground operations, leaving limited resources for managing a comprehensive marketing strategy. They wanted a reliable partner to handle their online presence without detracting from their focus on quality service.
  • Expanding Their Client Base While Retaining Loyalty: G.M. Mechanical was committed to the community they had served for decades, but they also recognized the importance of reaching new clients. This meant enhancing both their visibility and engagement while remaining true to the values that set them apart.

By identifying these needs, The Art of Business was able to create a tailored marketing strategy that met G.M. Mechanical’s specific goals and growth ambitions, elevating their digital presence to reflect their trusted brand.

Building a Strong Digital Identity That Reflects Reliability

G.M. Mechanical’s dedication to quality service was clear from the start, and their community recognized that. What they needed was an online presence that could mirror that reputation and make it even easier for new clients to find and connect with them.

Crafting a User-Friendly and Credible Website

For any service provider, the website is the first touchpoint for many prospective clients. Research shows that 75% of people judge a company’s credibility based on its website. 

We helped G.M. Mechanical develop a professional, user-friendly website that reflected their commitment to excellence. Our team’s enhancements contributed to a 102% increase in website sessions and a 153% increase in website users over a six-month period. The new site was not only visually appealing but easy to navigate, allowing visitors to quickly access information about services, read testimonials, and even book consultations. 

This upgraded website showcases their expertise and reliability in a way that feels welcoming. It represents the same values G.M. Mechanical brings to every job; dedication, quality, and trustworthiness. The result? An engaging digital space that encourages visitors to reach out and connect.

Creating Meaningful Connections on Social Media

In a service-based industry, social media provides a unique opportunity to build relationships with the community. While it’s easy to overlook, studies show that businesses that engage actively on social media see a significant boost in customer loyalty. 

For G.M. Mechanical, we knew social media could be a powerful platform to educate, engage, and add value to their audience.

Using Social Media to Educate and Engage

We crafted a social media strategy that emphasizes educational content. In addition to promoting services, we focused on sharing practical, approachable tips for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical maintenance. 

From seasonal reminders about HVAC tune-ups to quick energy-saving tips, G.M. Mechanical’s social media channels now serve as a helpful resource. Customers see that G.M. Mechanical isn’t just there to service their systems; they’re there to help clients live more comfortably.

Adding team highlights and testimonials helped make the brand feel personable. This approach offers clients a look behind the scenes, seeing the real people who deliver the quality service they’ve come to rely on. 

The social media presence has become a valuable touchpoint that not only educates followers but also strengthens G.M. Mechanical’s bond with its community. This social media strategy resulted in an impressive 1,577% increase in Facebook page reach and a 317% increase in Instagram impressions 6 months apart, highlighting the successful expansion of the brand’s online presence.

Working closely with the G.M. Mechanical team, we started by conducting a detailed keyword analysis. This allowed us to tailor the website’s content and create Google Ads targeting specific service needs, like HVAC checks before peak seasons.

In addition to Google Ads, we manage ad creation for social platforms, designing graphics and crafting copy that highlight G.M. Mechanical’s services.
