What It’s Like to Work With Us

What It’s Like to Work With Our Digital Marketing Agency

You’ll Never Have to Wonder What Your
Marketing Team Is Doing

You signed with an agency, and after the first month, all you heard from them was a PDF report. Working with an HVAC marketing agency shouldn’t feel like that. At RS Gonzales, your account manager meets with you the same day you ask, we track every lead to the booked job, and we tell you the truth about your numbers, including the parts you’d rather not hear.

Working With RS Gonzales, in a Client’s Own Words

Working with RS Gonzales means you know who’s on your account, you hear from us before you think to ask, and you get straight answers about your numbers. Abdul Elidrissi summed it up in a Google review.

“They came in with a clear strategy, deep knowledge of the HVAC space, and a level of professionalism that is honestly hard to find. From day one they were organized, communicative and laser focused on getting results. … They keep you in the loop every step of the way. If you run an HVAC company and you’re looking to grow, these are the people you want in your corner.”

Already Been Through It

Why So Many HVAC Contractors Feel Ignored by Their Marketing Agency

Most contractors who call us have already been through it once. The details change, but the story usually sounds like this.

Your Account Manager Is Juggling 30 Other Clients

At a typical agency, one account manager looks after about 30 accounts. Your questions wait in line, and every call starts with reminding them who you are.

The Monthly Report Doesn’t Connect to Booked Jobs

Every month you get a page of clicks, impressions, and charts. Nobody explains which of those numbers turned into a job on your schedule.

A Quoted Install Goes Cold and Nobody Notices

A homeowner asked for a quote on a new system, and the follow-up slipped during a busy week. You paid for the ad that brought that lead in, and the job went to someone else.

Nobody Tells You When Your Prices Are the Problem

An agency that only runs your ads has no reason to look at your pricing. So the margin problem that keeps squeezing your ad budget never comes up.

Tired of chasing your agency for an update?

Same-Day Meetings

Same-Day Meetings With an Account Manager Who Knows Your Business

Every account manager at RS Gonzales looks after 12 clients at most. That leaves enough room in their week to meet with you the same day you ask, and to remember what you talked about last time.

Your account manager is your strategist, your project manager, and your main point of contact. A secondary account manager backs them up, so your account stays covered when anyone is out, and you meet both of them at onboarding, right after you sign.

Reach your team by phone, text, or email, whichever you prefer, and you’ll usually hear back within the hour. If something comes up and you want to talk now, we’ll call you right away or set up a meeting for later that day, at a time that suits you. We come with whatever report, data, or strategy you want to go over, so the meeting starts with answers.

Why We Built It This Way

The Team Behind Your Account, and Why We Built It This Way

Same-day meetings and a 12-client cap only work when the team behind them is strong, full-time, and stays for years. So we built an international team of marketing specialists who work only for RS Gonzales, and a contractor your size gets the attention big agencies save for their largest accounts.

Sarah Gonzales, our founder, leads the company from our headquarters in Washington, DC. Mo, our COO, runs the team from our office in Karachi, Pakistan, and our account managers and SEO specialists work from Lahore and Islamabad, all on US business hours.

Everyone on the RS Gonzales team works full-time. More than 200 people apply for each position, and we pay competitive, top-of-the-market salaries. Some of the people on client accounts today have been with us since we started in 2023.

Every Lead Tracked

We Track Every Lead, and We’ll Call You About the Install Quote You Forgot

Every call and form that comes in runs through your free HVAC CRM, and we follow each one to the booked job. That’s how we know which campaigns are paying for themselves and which ones aren’t.

Our paid ads team checks every Google Ads and Local Services Ads lead the day it comes in. If one hasn’t had a reply, we ask you to follow up right away and send you the homeowner’s phone number, so calling back takes seconds.

Some clients want closer help, so we share a WhatsApp group with them and the paid ads team. When a lead hasn’t been called back or a call didn’t go the way it should, the team messages you there directly, before that homeowner calls someone else.

Quoted installs get the same attention. When one sits untouched, we nudge you, and if it’s still sitting there, we nudge you again, because you paid to bring that homeowner in and we want that money back as a booked job. For an HVAC company in Prince George’s County, Maryland, we built an automation that follows up on every installation estimate, and it helped them close $28,000 in installation work.

We also coach you on following up, and we train your customer-facing team to close more of the leads they answer.

Honest Pricing Advice

We’ll Tell You When Your HVAC Prices Are Too Low to Pay for Marketing

Most agencies won’t bring up your pricing, because it isn’t their department and it’s an awkward conversation. We bring it up anyway. Your prices decide how much room you have to market at all.

Here’s how underpricing squeezes your marketing budget, one step at a time.
  • Your price sets your margin. When a job is priced too close to your cost of goods sold, meaning the equipment, parts, and labor that go into it, there’s little left once the work is done.

  • Your margin sets your marketing budget. Ads are paid for out of what’s left after each job, so thin margins leave a thin ad budget, or none at all.

  • A thin ad budget slows everything down. Below a certain monthly spend, the ad platforms don’t get enough data to learn which leads are worth paying for.

Sarah Gonzales, our founder

When we see this happening, we’ll show you the numbers and talk it through with you, even when it isn’t what you want to hear. Sometimes the change that frees up the most room for marketing is on your price list, not in your ad account.

A price that’s too low doesn’t only cost you on the job. It costs you the next lead, because it leaves you nothing to market with.

Maintenance Plan

We Help You Sign Up More Homeowners for Your HVAC Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan gives you steady work in the slow months and a reason for past customers to call you first. Most of our clients already have one, so our job is to get it in front of the homeowners most likely to join. If you don’t have a plan yet, we’ll help you build it.

Sarah

Marketing Your Plan When the Season Slows Down

We design flyers for you to hand out and promote your plan through email and SMS campaigns to your past customers when the season slows down. We send monthly emails for a family-owned HVAC, plumbing, and electrical company in Central Florida, and they tell us those emails bring in a lot of responses.

Building the Plan’s Page

Your plan gets its own page on your website, written to show homeowners what they get and why it’s worth it.

Building a Plan With You If You Don’t Have One

We research what competitors in your market offer and look at the plans our other clients run. Then we send you the options side by side and help you shape a plan that fits your business.

Three Things We’ve Done for HVAC Contractors That Never Showed Up on an Invoice

Some of the most useful work we do isn’t listed in any of our monthly marketing programs. But going above and beyond is one of our core values.

$630a month

Moving a New Jersey Contractor Off a CRM That Cost $630 a Month

A solo HVAC contractor in New Jersey was paying $630 a month for Workiz. We moved his whole system across to the RS Gonzales CRM, price book and invoicing included, and that money went back into his digital advertising.

the saved domain

Catching a Client’s Domain Days Before It Expired

Our monitoring bot spotted that a client’s domain was about to expire. An expired credit card had stopped the auto-renewal at GoDaddy, and nobody had noticed. We flagged it in time, and the website never went down.

50+reviews a month

Coaching a Kaufman County, Texas, Crew to Ask for Reviews

A two-person HVAC company in Kaufman County, Texas, needed more reviews, so we coached its technicians on asking every customer for a review at the end of each call. They started earning 50 or more reviews a month, rose to the top of Google Maps, and picked up an extra 25 to 30 organic leads a month.

What We Ask

What We Ask From You as an RS Gonzales Client

Good marketing runs both ways. We take the technical work off your plate, and in return we ask for four things.

You shouldn’t have to manage your marketing, but we do need you in it.

  • Answer the phone. The calls we bring in only turn into jobs when someone picks up.

  • Follow up on your quotes. We’ll remind you when a quote sits, and closing it is still up to your team.

  • Tell us about lead quality. Let us know which leads were good and which weren’t, so we can spend your budget on more of the good ones.

  • Name one decision-maker. One person who signs off keeps approvals fast and the direction clear.

As a family-owned business, Accurate Air means so much to us, and having a marketing company that cares about our success makes all the difference. They take the time to listen, share ideas, and help us navigate the marketing side of running a business.

What we appreciate most is the relationship we’ve built. We feel like we have a team in our corner who wants to see us succeed as much as we do. Thank you, RS Gonzales, for your hard work and for being such an important part of our journey. We highly recommend them!”

Sandra ZurickAccurate Air

We’ve had a great experience working with this team. Communication has been excellent, they’re responsive whenever we have questions, and they’ve taken the time to really understand our business and what we’re trying to accomplish.

Most importantly, we’ve started seeing real results, including organic leads coming directly from the work they’ve been doing for us. It’s refreshing to work with a marketing company that feels invested in helping our business grow instead of just collecting a monthly fee.

We’ve been very happy with the partnership so far and would definitely recommend them to other business owners looking for a solid marketing team.
