Greater Austin carries 7 CI Web Group client-site configs — from HVAC companies in Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Leander to plumbing in Taylor and trades-software brands headquartered in Austin itself.
The two launches Austin contractors should study are opposites by design. Cheap Cold Air runs one sharp brand promise ('Why pay more?') and lifted sessions 143% in its first 28 days. Advanced Air Conditioning + Heating in Cedar Park went wide instead: a 99-performance Lighthouse build whose production sitemap listed 860 URLs two days after cutover — 24 service-area pages, 85 blog posts, and a service-by-city mesh across the northwest corridor.

How we stack up →Who does HVAC marketing in Austin?
CI Web Group runs 7 Greater Austin client sites on Hydra OS, including two documented HVAC launches: Cheap Cold Air (Austin & the Hill Country — sessions up 143% in the first 28 days, 90 Lighthouse performance, 100 SEO) and Advanced Air Conditioning + Heating (Cedar Park — 4.9 stars across 500+ reviews, 99 Lighthouse performance, TACLA77365E license published in the footer).
CIWG is also a preferred marketing and AI technology partner for TACCA, the Texas Air Conditioning Contractors Association, and for Winsupply's local companies and their contractors.
How big should an Austin contractor's website actually be?
As big as its real service map — Advanced Air's launch sitemap listed 860 URLs two days after cutover: 24 service-area pages from Cedar Park through the northwest corridor, 85 blog posts, 21 learning-center guides, and a service-by-city mesh across air conditioning, heating, heat pumps, ductless, and air quality.
That breadth is not padding. Every page answers a specific city-plus-service question that Austin homeowners (and AI engines) actually ask — and each was indexed from day one.
What baseline should Austin HVAC companies measure against?
Advanced Air published its own starting line: 207 Google clicks on 51,027 impressions (0.41% CTR) in the final pre-launch month, with 'ac repair cedar park' at average position 5.1. That is the 'before' every post-launch milestone gets measured against — publicly, on the launch story.
That is the standard to hold any Austin agency to: a dated baseline, then dated results. Vague 'we improved traffic' claims aren't measurement.
