Your complete growth partner. Not another disconnected agency.
Techeo owns the path from an AI recommendation or Google search to the answered call, follow-up and booked job for HVAC and plumbing businesses.
What is a growth partner for an HVAC or plumbing business?
A growth partner is responsible for the connected system that creates, captures and converts demand, not one isolated marketing channel. Techeo leads with AEO, then connects local SEO, ads, 24/7 call answering, follow-up, sales operations and CRM attribution to one measurable 90-day goal.
A traditional agency can do competent work and still leave the owner with the same problem. The ad team reports clicks, the SEO company reports rankings, the answering service reports messages and the office tries to work out which activity produced a booked job.
Techeo is built around the handoffs. If your company appears in an AI answer but the call rings out, visibility did not create growth. If the call is booked but a replacement estimate receives no follow-up, intake alone did not finish the work. Every part has to support the same customer journey.
That is why we call Techeo a growth partner rather than simply an agency. One team operates the full path, uses the same source data and is measured against an agreed outcome. You still own the business, customer relationship and final decisions; Techeo owns the growth system you hired us to run.
What Techeo owns from discovery to booked work
Each stage is useful alone. The advantage comes from operating them together and fixing the handoff that is holding growth back.
- 01
Get recommended
AEO comes first. We help AI assistants understand your services, territory and authority, then strengthen Google Maps and organic visibility.
- 02
Capture active demand
Search ads and Local Services Ads focus on the work and service areas your team can handle, rather than sending disconnected traffic.
- 03
Answer every opportunity
The AI receptionist answers in under 2 rings, 24/7, gathers the problem and follows the booking or escalation rules you approve.
- 04
Keep decisions moving
Text and email follow-up supports new inquiries, open estimates, no-shows and past customers without adding another manual office task.
- 05
Connect the outcome
Call recordings and CRM attribution tie marketing sources to new-customer calls, estimates and booked work so decisions use business outcomes.
The difference is ownership
The comparison is not about labels. It is about who is responsible when a lead falls between systems.
- Each vendor optimizes its own report.
- AI search, SEO and ads compete for attention instead of sharing a plan.
- Missed calls and untouched estimates sit outside marketing.
- The owner reconciles vendors, phone data and field software.
- Territory conflicts may not be part of the relationship.
- AEO leads one coordinated acquisition plan.
- Calls, follow-up and CRM outcomes shape marketing decisions.
- One team owns the gaps between channels.
- A written 90-day benchmark defines accountability.
- One HVAC shop and one plumbing shop can lock each city.
How accountability works after launch
A performance agreement matters only when the measurement and response are clear before the result is known.
Starting benchmark
We agree on the current new-customer call volume and the systems that can verify it. This becomes the starting point, not a number chosen after the work begins.
Written 90-day goal
The agreement states the qualified-call goal, the responsibilities on both sides and the measurement method before launch.
Weekly operating decisions
We review calls, capacity and lead quality, then adjust the channel, market, message or follow-up creating the weakest handoff.
Monthly owner scorecard
You see booked jobs, answered calls, cost per booked job, AI mentions, Maps position and estimates closed with the same source data we use.
Corrective action
If the agreed benchmark is missed, the contract follows its fee-waiver and remediation terms while the team works the identified gap.
One model, adapted to the work you sell
HVAC and plumbing share a local customer journey, but their emergencies, seasons and larger buying decisions need different execution.
HVAC companies
Coordinate no-cool and no-heat demand, replacement research, heat pump education, maintenance enrollment, peak-season call intake and estimate follow-up.
See the trade plan →Plumbing companies
Protect emergency calls while building planned work in water heaters, drains and sewer lines, with routing and follow-up matched to each job type.
See the trade plan →Companies offering both
Run each trade as its own demand system while connecting the shared phone team, software and reporting. Lock both trades where both territories are open.

Why not hire separate specialists?
You can, but someone still has to own the handoffs between search, ads, calls, follow-up and your field software. Techeo takes responsibility for that connected path and one agreed operating goal.
Does Techeo replace our office or sales team?
No. We remove repetitive intake and follow-up work, give your team better context and make missed opportunities visible. Your people still own customer relationships and field decisions.
Is AEO really the first service?
Yes. Homeowners increasingly ask AI tools which local company to call. We establish that visibility first, then connect SEO, paid demand, call handling and follow-up around it.
How do you avoid helping our competitors?
Techeo works with one HVAC company and one plumbing company in each city. Locking HVAC does not automatically lock plumbing unless your company provides both and both territories are available.
What if the 90-day goal is missed?
The written guarantee governs what happens next, including the fee waiver and the remediation period. The goal and measurement method are agreed before work begins.
Is your city still open?
We only work with one company per trade in each market. Check yours in 30 seconds.
