Perplexity only
That's 68 referrals going to competitors last month alone. At an average HVAC job value of $3,500–$6,000, that's $238,000–$408,000 in revenue walking out the door — while Pro Air ran ads and chased Google rankings that no longer matter.
🔍 Why Pro Air HVAC Is Invisible to AI
5 specific issues identified in the scan.
📝
No AI-Readable Content About Core Services
Pro Air's website has minimal text describing their services. AI models can't reference a business they can't "read." CoolBreeze has 2,400+ words of structured service content across their site.
🗺️
Missing Entity Citations Across the Web
AI visibility is built on mentions across authoritative sources — local directories, news, trade sites. Pro Air has 6 citations. Their top competitor has 47. AI trains on consensus, and there's no consensus around Pro Air.
🤖
No AI-Specific Schema or Structured Data
Google and AI models use structured data to understand what a business does. Pro Air's site has no schema markup. CoolBreeze has full LocalBusiness + Service schema implemented correctly.
Reviews Not Optimized for AI Extraction
Pro Air has 214 Google reviews — but AI can't access them because Google doesn't share review content with LLMs. Reviews need to be distributed across platforms AI does crawl: BBB, Yelp, Angi, HomeAdvisor.
🌐
No Coverage on AI Training Sources
Columbus local media, HVAC industry publications, and Columbus business directories are common AI training sources. Pro Air has zero coverage on any of these. CoolBreeze was featured in Columbus Business Journal in 2023.
