In this episode of the HVAC ADHD™ Vodcast, Jeremy Begley sits down with Chris Panteli, co-founder of Linkify, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening in contractor marketing today: AI-powered search and digital authority.

As platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Perplexity become the first stop for customer questions, simply ranking on Google is no longer enough. Chris explains how HVAC contractors and home service businesses can improve their visibility by building authority, earning media coverage, and creating trust signals that both search engines and AI models recognize.

Whether you're a contractor looking to generate more leads or a business owner trying to future-proof your marketing strategy, this episode provides practical advice you can start applying today.

We dive deep into:

• Why AI search is changing how customers find HVAC companies
• The difference between buying backlinks and earning media coverage
• How journalists find industry experts for major publications
• Why LinkedIn and personal branding matter more than ever
• Building trust with Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Perplexity
• Digital PR strategies that HVAC contractors can use today
• Why authority—not just keywords—is becoming the future of SEO
• How to position yourself as the expert AI recommends

This episode also explores a powerful idea that's reshaping contractor marketing:

👉 The companies that build trust will outperform the companies that simply build websites.

👉 Authority is becoming the new SEO.

If you're an HVAC contractor, home performance professional, marketer, or business owner looking to stay ahead of AI-driven search, this conversation is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss.
