Selecting an HVAC marketing agency partner to hire and make a part of your marketing initiatives is not a simple decision. There’s a lot to consider. That’s why, in this blog article, we will go over 5 key elements to consider in your evaluation and decision-making process.

1. Specialist Team — First and foremost, it’s important to consider the HVAC marketing agency’s depth and breadth. Specifically, you should partner with an agency that has a team of specialists, not generalists. Assess the agency’s in-house staff and ask the tough questions like who’s doing the work on what and where. Most, if not all, of the HVAC marketing work should be done by the agency’s in-house like we do at Alpyne Strategy.

If it’s unclear what team members are doing what or you have suspicion of outsourcing beyond the in-house team, you should take that into serious consideration. This sort of structure can pose a risk to your marketing efforts, as you don’t know who’s exactly getting access to your marketing data. Ensuring an in-house specialist team is crucial.

2. Quantity or Quality? — Is quality, results-oriented work important to you? Then, when you’re selecting an HVAC marketing agency, you should consider what the agency’s model is: quantity or quality. What we mean by this is, some agencies have a slice-and-dice approach and will take on as many clients in a geographic radius that they can. In essence, they prioritize quantity over quality. 

Sometimes, a marketing agency can be so caught up in their race to the finish line—whatever that may mean—and sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity. It’s a wise decision to vet the HVAC marketing agencies for this and keep an eye out for this issue. At Alpyne Strategy, we’ve made it our job to deliver you quality. That’s our promise to you, which we take very seriously here at Alpyne. Delivering quality work is most important. 

As a family-owned and operated agency, we have big heart and truly care about you and your team, which brings us to our next point #3: corporate vs family-owned. 

3. Corporate vs Family-Owned — When you’re evaluating HVAC ad agencies, consider which ones are corporate vs family-owned. Working with a family-owned HVAC marketing agency like Alpyne can offer much more one-on-one attention that you and your marketing team deserve. 

4. HVAC Marketing Expertise — Beyond just a specialist team, you want to make sure that there is an HVAC marketing expertise. Just because an HVAC marketing agency ranks for a specific keyword does not necessarily mean that it has HVAC marketing expertise. 

Indeed, a keyword ranking could be superficial assessment of the firm and not a reflection of the team’s actual expertise. The point here is, again, do your homework. HVAC marketing expertise means more than just a keyword ranking. Keep that in mind in your initial evaluation of any firm.

5. Friendly & Trustworthy Team — At the end of the day, no matter what, you will want to ensure that the HVAC marketing agency you hire is a friendly and trustworthy team that you can work with over the long-run. Any successful partnership includes these key ingredients of being friendly, trustworthy, and honest.
