In Google’s top 3 on 96% of checks for 10 local searches in 21 ZIP codes
Google rank checks from 2026-03-11 to 2026-10-18 (221 days). The figures below cover the most recent 30 days.
The starting line
One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning of Northwest Austin is an established HVAC franchise based in Leander. When Ranqly started checking its Google rankings in March 2026, it already showed up in the top 3 for its main searches near the office. The job was not to get it to the top. It was to keep it there across a much wider area, without the owner writing posts or checking rankings by hand.
What changed
Ranqly runs three things for this business:
- Google posts written for HVAC and for this service area, published on a schedule and rotated through the ZIP codes the crew serves.
- Rank checks for the same HVAC searches in every one of those ZIP codes, so a slip in one neighborhood shows up before it costs calls.
- A ServiceTitan connection, so phone calls can be traced back to where the caller found the business.
The result
Tracking grew from searches near the office to the whole service area, and the business has stayed in or near the top 3 throughout. Ranqly did not move this business to the top of Google. It kept it there while the area it watches grew, and it does the posting and checking every week so the owner does not have to. In July–September 2026 the business spent $5,442 on Google Local Services Ads, down from $12,167 in the same months of 2025, and bought 53 paid leads instead of 115. Over the same months, invoiced revenue from jobs the office tagged as coming from the Google Business Profile, Google search or the website rose from $27.4K to $63.4K, and total invoiced revenue rose 13%, from $134.5K to $152.5K. That does not prove Ranqly caused it: this was the business’s second summer, and the office tags each job’s source by hand. But the free channels Ranqly works on carried more of the business while paid lead spend fell by more than half. Sources: the Local Services Ads monthly account statements, and ServiceTitan invoices matched to the marketing campaign on each completed job.
What this means for your business
If your shop already ranks well near the office, the risk is the neighborhoods further out and the weeks nobody posts. If it does not rank yet, this page is not your benchmark: ask us to record where you stand before anything changes, so you can judge the result against your own starting point. Ranqly also connects to ServiceTitan, so calls can be traced back to where the caller found you.

How we measured
Ranqly checks where this business appears in Google’s local results for each tracked search near each ZIP code it serves. Percentages are shares of all checks in the most recent 30 days, recomputed from the checks every time this page loads. These checks record only the searches where the business appeared, so the shares do not count searches where it did not show up. The “same searches” comparison uses only the 48 search and ZIP code pairs checked in both the first and the most recent 30 days, so adding new searches cannot move it.
