Technical Health
Site speed, schema markup, and SEO fundamentals
Desktop view
Mobile view
Your mobile site speed (41/100) is slow enough to hurt both Google rankings and customer experience threshold
Your page takes 10.4 seconds to display main content — visitors on phones may leave before it finishes loading for good Core Web Vitals
CLS is 0.530 — should be under 0.1 for good Core Web Vitals
No schema markup (JSON-LD) detected on the page
Your site doesn’t tell Google you’re an HVAC business in a machine-readable format (missing: LocalBusiness, HomeAndConstructionBusiness, HVACBusiness, FAQPage, Service, Organization)

Your review count (76) is less than half the competitor average (208). Review volume is a top-3 local ranking factor — closing this gap should be a priority.

What This Means for Airmax Melbourne
In plain English — what needs attention, how to fix it, and what you'll gain
Customers can’t find you on Google Maps
The problem: When someone in Melbourne searches for HVAC services, your business doesn't appear in the Google Maps results. Right now, Reliance Heating and Cooling shows up across 5 search terms.
The fix: Optimize your Google Business Profile — add more photos, post weekly updates, respond to all reviews, and ensure your categories match what customers search for.
The outcome: The Maps 3-pack gets ~42% of clicks for local searches. Getting into that top 3 for even one more keyword could bring 5-15 new service calls per month.
Missing 10 monthly searches
The problem: People in Melbourne search Google 2,250 times every month for HVAC services. Your website captures only a fraction of that traffic.
The fix: Create dedicated pages for each service, optimized for what customers search. For example, a page about “air conditioning contractor Melbourne”.
The outcome: Even capturing 3% of missed traffic at 10% conversion means ~1 new customers/month — $500/month at $500 avg job value.
Your website is too slow — customers leave before it loads
The problem: Mobile speed score is 41/100. LCP: 10.4s (should be under 2.5s). TTI: 10.4s. 53% of visitors abandon sites that take >3s to load.
The fix: Optimize images, remove unnecessary scripts, improve server response time.
The outcome: Improved speed typically yields a 15-25% increase in conversions.
GBP is severely incomplete or missing
The problem: Business hours not set on GBP. Without a complete GBP, you’re invisible in Maps.
The fix: Claim and verify your GBP. Add hours, categories, photos, contact info.
The outcome: Complete Google profiles get 7x more clicks than incomplete ones.
85% review response rate has room to improve
The problem: Response rate is 85%. Top competitor responds to 60%. Google uses responses as a ranking signal.
The fix: Respond to every review within 24 hours. AI review management automates this.
The outcome: 90%+ response rate lifts Map Pack rankings. Responding to negative reviews recovers ~30% of unhappy customers.
Missing 6 schema types that help Google understand your business
The problem: Missing: LocalBusiness, HomeAndConstructionBusiness, HVACBusiness, FAQPage.
The fix: Add JSON-LD structured data for LocalBusiness, HVACBusiness, Service, and FAQPage.
The outcome: Schema enables rich results — star ratings, service lists, FAQs in search results increase CTR by 20-30%.
The bottom line
Airmax Melbourne has the fundamentals — 76 reviews, a 4.8-star rating, and an established presence in Melbourne. The issues above aren't about your service quality — they're about whether customers can find you online. Fix these, and the calls will follow.

Areas for Expert Review
Dimensions that benefit from manual analysis beyond automated data
Your site scores 32/100 on mobile performance. A manual review would identify specific form placement, call-to-action, and mobile UX issues that automated tools can’t catch.
You’re not ranking for 2 of 5 tracked keywords. A content audit would identify the specific service pages, location pages, and FAQ content needed to capture that traffic.
Reliance Heating and Cooling appears in 5 of your tracked keywords. A full analysis would reveal their content strategy, review velocity, ad spend, and where you can overtake them.
You have no online booking system — visitors who find you have no guided way to convert. A service-specific lead funnel (repair, install, maintenance, emergency) qualifies prospects by urgency, routes them into the right pipeline, and captures leads 24/7.
These areas require human expertise and are covered in the walkthrough consultation below.
