The one-glance verdict
When local customers ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for businesses like this, Heat Pump HQ never comes up — Daikin does.
What We Found

My recommendation is a major overhaul of your content and structure — the technical foundation is sound, but the content isn't earning visibility, conversions, or AI recommendations.

  • Your AI-citability score is genuinely strong (10.4/12) and only one page lacks a meta description, so the underlying structure works — this is a content problem, not a coding one.
  • All 129 pages lack any local or area references, which is likely why AI engines recommend national brands like Daikin over you; adding real local expertise is your single biggest opportunity to stand out.
  • 73 pages earned zero clicks in a full year, meaning more than half your content isn't pulling its weight — these should be consolidated, rewritten with local focus, or retired.
  • Zero visibility across all three AI engines means new customers searching by AI can't find you; targeted, locally-grounded content is the fastest path to changing that.
  • Nearly every page needs a clear next step for the reader, so as you rewrite, build in strong calls to action to turn new traffic into booked jobs.

Est. impact of closing the gap: +$85,680/yr — actual results vary with competition, implementation quality, and market conditions.

Search Rankings — Where You Stand & How to Climb

These already rank on page 2 (positions 11–20). Moving a keyword from page 2 to page 1 typically multiplies its clicks several times over — the cheapest gains available.

Brand search: the site ranks #1 for its own name — solid.

How to climb the rankings
  1. Fix the 121 pages with weak, missing, or duplicate titles and meta descriptions first — this is your biggest lever and the fastest way to shift page-2 keywords up. Prioritise the exact pages targeting your near-the-top terms: rewrite the "fujitsu heat pump" page title to lead with that phrase (it's your highest-impression keyword at 2468/mo and only #18 — huge upside), and give the sizing calculator, Christchurch pricing, and "best heat pump brand nz" pages unique, keyword-front-loaded titles and compelling descriptions to lift their click-through.
  2. Fix the 1 important page that has almost no internal links pointing to it — identify which money keyword it maps to and add links to it from your homepage, main navigation, and 3–5 related content pages using descriptive anchor text (e.g. "heat pump sizing calculator nz" or "Fujitsu heat pump service"). Pages at #12–#14 often need only a small authority nudge to cross onto page 1.
  3. Expand the 1 thin page (under ~300 words) to at least 800–1000 words of genuinely useful content — if it's one of your ranking pages (e.g. "toshiba heat pumps christchurch" at #16 or "heat pump replacement cost near me" at #19), thin content is likely what's capping it. Add specifics buyers search for: local pricing ranges, brand comparisons, and installation details.
  4. Build dedicated, location-specific pages for the "near me" and Christchurch terms — "heat pump replacement cost near me" (#19), "fujitsu heat pump service near me" (#13), "toshiba heat pumps christchurch" (#16), and "heat pumps christchurch prices" (#12). Include real Christchurch pricing, your service area, embedded map, and NAP details so Google connects your business to local intent and lifts these transactional keywords.
  5. Consolidate and strengthen your calculator content — "heat pump sizing calculator" (#14) and "heat pump sizing calculator nz" (#12) are near-identical intents. Ensure one strong page targets both, with the NZ variant addressed on-page (kW sizing by room size, NZ climate zones), and interlink it with your brand and pricing pages to concentrate ranking signals rather than splitting them.
  6. Create a comparison hub targeting "heat pump brands nz" (#12) and "best heat pump brand nz" (#19) that ranks side-by-side brands including Fujitsu and Toshiba, then internally link it to your individual Fujitsu, Toshiba, and pricing pages — this cross-linking spreads authority to all your brand-name keywords at once and reinforces the "fujitsu heat pump" page that has the most impressions to gain.

Whether the website even lets AI systems read it. A blocked crawler can never recommend the business, no matter how good the site is.

No robots.txt was found — AI crawlers are not blocked at the robots level. (A robots.txt is still worth adding to control crawling deliberately.)

AI Engine Presence
We asked each AI assistant the kinds of questions a real customer would, several times over, and checked whether it named this business in its answer.

High Purchase Intent Queries Not Currently Ranked
Money searches — ones typed by people ready to buy — that this business doesn't show up for anywhere yet.

High-intent money queries this business is not ranking for at all on Google or in AI search.

These queries represent significant untapped revenue opportunity. With proper AI-optimization and targeted content, ranking for these terms is achievable — and AI citation typically follows within 60–90 days of achieving page 1 Google visibility.

Local Searches You're Missing
Nearby-area searches with real monthly volume that the site doesn't rank for — customers being missed close to home.

Not run — this section needs local areas (the towns served). Add them in the Advanced section of the form (or they fill in automatically once the site can be crawled).

Internal Linking
Which pages the site links to from its other pages. Links are how both Google and AI learn which pages matter — a service page nothing links to looks unimportant, however good it is.

Service pages barely linked to — the site isn't signalling these matter

Fix: add contextual links to these from related service pages, the homepage, and relevant blog posts.

Inbound-link counts are measured across the crawled pages; a page linked only from an un-crawled page may read as weaker than it is.

Revenue Opportunity
What the missed visibility is roughly worth in dollars — using the site's own data and deliberately cautious assumptions, with the working shown.

Grounded in this site's real Search Console impressions — not benchmark multipliers. The lever is the striking-distance keywords already ranking on page 2.

Highest leverage, fastest wins — months 1–3
Ongoing AI Authority Building — Continuous Optimization

AI search is not a one-time fix. The engines behind ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini retrain continuously — businesses that stop after initial fixes gradually lose ground to competitors who keep building.
