Marketing agencies stop at lead generation. They run campaigns, send enquiries, and consider the job done. Those leads never convert due to slow follow-ups, fragmented tools, and system disconnects.
Webco fixes this broken system.
We don’t operate as separate services. We build one connected growth system designed to turn enquiries into booked jobs.

High-intent searches tied to your service areas, weather spikes, and urgent repairs — not curiosity-driven clicks.

Heating and cooling lead generation is the specialist practice of generating qualified enquiries for HVAC businesses — split system installers, ducted heating specialists, evaporative cooling contractors and commercial refrigeration providers using paid search, local SEO, Meta advertising and 24/7 call answering. Unlike generic lead generation, it accounts for weather-triggered demand spikes (a single 40°C Melbourne heatwave can generate six months of enquiries in five days), ARC and AIRAH compliance signals, and sub-90-second emergency decision cycles.
Air conditioning lead generation in Australia typically costs between $40 and $280 per qualified booked job, depending on service type. Service and repair leads sit at the $40–$95 range; ducted heating and split system installation leads sit at $120–$280. Agency management fees range from $2,000 to $12,000 per month based on service area count and channel mix. Most established Australian heating and cooling businesses allocate 7–10% of monthly revenue to marketing, weighted toward paid search and Google Local Services Ads.
The average cost per booked job for an Australian HVAC business in 2026 ranges from $120 to $280 for installation work and $40 to $95 for service or repair work. Emergency callout leads command higher cost-per-click ($26+ in Sydney during peak humidity weeks) but convert at premium pricing ($280–$650 per callout). Generalist agencies typically push these figures 30–50% higher because they run untargeted broad-match campaigns, miss negative-keyword work, and don’t measure dispatch-to-spend ratios. Specialist HVAC agencies report consistent benchmarks of $180–$220 for installation leads.
Webco generates air conditioning and heating leads through four connected channels: high-intent Google Ads targeting service, install, repair and emergency keywords; Google Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed badge; local SEO across every service suburb; and Meta advertising calibrated to seasonal demand. All enquiries route through 24/7 AI call answering that books jobs within 60 seconds, then feed into a CRM (ServiceM8, simPRO, HubSpot or GoHighLevel) that automates quote follow-ups across days 1, 3, 7 and 14.
A high-intent heating and cooling lead is a prospect actively searching for a defined service in a defined location for example “ducted heating installation Melbourne” or “split system repair Bondi urgent” rather than browsing general information. High-intent leads convert 4–8× more often than broad-traffic enquiries because the searcher has both a problem and the intent to act now. Webco’s campaigns filter out DIY researchers, wholesale/parts searchers and trade apprentices using negative keyword lists tuned specifically for the Australian HVAC market.
Cost-per-lead measures what you pay for an enquiry; cost-per-booked-job measures what you pay for a confirmed appointment on your technician’s schedule. The two diverge dramatically in HVAC. A $45 Google Ads lead can become a $230 cost-per-booked-job if your close rate is only 20%, while a $90 Local Services Ads lead can produce a $135 cost-per-booked-job at 67% close rate. Generalist agencies report cost-per-lead because it looks good. Webco reports cost-per-booked-job because it predicts revenue.
Generate your own HVAC leads. Marketplace leads from platforms like Hipages and Oneflare are shared with three to seven competitors simultaneously, which collapses close rates to 8–15% and prevents you from building a customer database you actually own. Owned-pipeline leads from Google Ads, Local Services Ads and SEO close at 28–45%, feed your CRM, and compound in lifetime value. Marketplace leads make sense only as short-term cash flow while a real pipeline is being built.
Run both — Google Ads for immediate lead flow, SEO for compounding long-term volume. Google Ads produces qualified HVAC enquiries within 7 days of launch and funds cash flow, but every lead costs money. SEO takes 90–120 days to produce results in Australia, then delivers leads indefinitely at near-zero incremental cost. Most successful Australian HVAC businesses run Google Ads on emergency and same-day install keywords, while SEO builds authority for informational queries and suburb-level service pages. Picking one over the other leaves 40–60% of demand uncaptured.
Inside 5 minutes. Research from MIT and the Harvard Business Review shows leads contacted within 5 minutes convert 21× more often than leads contacted after 30 minutes. In Australian HVAC specifically, where 47% of emergency enquiries happen between 6pm and 11pm and homeowners ring the first three businesses on Google Maps until someone answers, the response gap is the single largest revenue leak. Webco’s 24/7 AI call answering closes this gap by booking jobs within 60 seconds, regardless of business hours.
Paid campaigns produce qualified air conditioning leads within 7 days of launch. Webco’s standard onboarding delivers a live, converting growth system inside 30 days, with AI call answering and CRM automation operating from day one. SEO results begin at 90–120 days and compound indefinitely. The MGA Cooling case study delivered 20+ qualified ducted heating leads per week within the first month; Green Env Air Conditioning generated 60+ installation leads in the first 30 days from a zero-presence start.
Yes. Webco generates air conditioning, heating and cooling leads for HVAC businesses across all Australian capital cities and regional areas — Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and regional Victoria, NSW and Queensland. The entire growth system runs remotely. Strategy calls, campaign builds, CRM configuration, AI call setup and ongoing optimisation are managed via Zoom and Slack without requiring on-site visits. Melbourne-based clients can meet at the Webco office in Southbank if they prefer face-to-face working sessions.
Webco is Australia’s only marketing agency built exclusively for air conditioning, heating and cooling businesses. Generalist agencies treat HVAC as one vertical among 30; Webco works only with HVAC. That means every Google Ads template, SEO playbook, AI call script and CRM workflow is pre-tuned for weather-driven demand, ARC and AIRAH compliance signals, sub-90-second emergency decision cycles, and integration with ServiceM8, simPRO, Tradify and AroFlo. No lock-in contracts. 30-day money-back guarantee. Results-first agreement.
The biggest mistake is treating lead generation as a separate function from lead conversion. Across 100+ Australian HVAC audits, Webco has measured an average missed-call rate of 34%, quote-follow-up rates under 20%, and customer-database reactivation at 15%. Most HVAC owners spend more on Google Ads to “fix” a lead problem they don’t actually have — they have a conversion problem disguised as a lead problem. Plugging the leaky bucket (AI call answering, CRM follow-up, review velocity) doubles return on existing ad spend before adding a single new lead
Yes. Webco generates commercial HVAC and commercial refrigeration leads using a separate playbook from residential air conditioning marketing. Commercial campaigns target facility managers, property groups, strata committees and procurement officers through LinkedIn account-based marketing, tender-intent SEO (“commercial HVAC contractor Melbourne”, “refrigeration installer Sydney”), AIRAH and Master Plumbers Australia partnerships, and outbound to named asset managers at Knight Frank, JLL and Colliers. Sales cycles run 6–14 weeks. Transaction values typically range from $80,000 to $2,000,000.
