Some of the brands we have worked with
Who this is for
Gas and heating businesses we work with
Servicing rounds and small teams
You want a steady diary of boiler services in a few towns. A complete Google Business Profile comes first, then a servicing page saying plainly what the visit covers and where you work.
Breakdown and repair engineers
"Boiler repair near me" draws about 5,800 searches a month (Ahrefs UK, September 2026), 82% on phones, with ads above and below the map pack. Accurate hours and a quick repair page help you compete.
Boiler installers
A replacement boiler is weighed up before anyone rings. Homeowners want to know what a survey involves and what your certifications mean, so your installation pages should answer both before any quote.
Gas safety check providers
"Gas safety certificate" brings up an AI Overview and ads, not a map pack, and more of it is searched on computers than the near me terms. Some people search whether it is the same as a boiler service; answer that on your site.
What we do
Phones, map packs and Gas Safe registration
According to Ahrefs' September 2026 UK data, all six customer searches we checked are made mostly on phones. "Heating engineer near me" draws about 6,300 a month, 86% on mobile, and "boiler service near me" about 8,000. Every near me search among them brings up a map pack. Registration matters: the page ranked first for "gas engineer near me" gets more visits from "gas safe registered engineer" than from any other search, and people ask outright how to find a Gas Safe registered engineer. Of the 30 boiler service and gas safety questions we pulled, 26 carry an AI Overview.
SEO services for heating engineers
Your listing on Google and Apple Maps
Categories for servicing, repairs and installs, the towns you really cover, hours you can staff, and recent job photos and posts, matched on Apple Maps through our Local SEO service.
One page per gas job
Servicing, breakdown repairs, installations and gas safety checks, each built around its own searches rather than one list of services. Town pages follow, only for places you serve.
Answers to homeowners' questions
How long a service takes, what it includes, how often to book one, how to get a copy of a Gas Safe certificate. Answer Engine Optimisation puts a plain answer under each matching heading.
Reviews and Gas Safe credentials
Gas work is safety-critical, so people want proof before letting an engineer near the boiler. We set up a review routine, reply to every review and show your registration where it is seen.
Phone-first technical work
Speed, Core Web Vitals, indexing and schema on the pages opened from a map listing. Easy Boilers, a boiler brand we built to load in about 0.8 seconds, showed that speed is only part of ranking.
Named in AI answers
One business name, service list and area across your site, profile and directories, plus a presence in local discussion. Generative Engine Optimisation then tracks which heating firms assistants such as ChatGPT recommend.
General plumbing or air conditioning firms are better served by SEO for Plumbers or SEO for HVAC Contractors.
Up against the national boiler brands
"New boiler" is the biggest customer search we checked, about 10,000 a month (Ahrefs UK, September 2026), and the hardest to rank for. It shows no map pack, and its top page gets more traffic from a British Gas search than from any other. We built Boiler Central, a UK-wide online boiler company rather than a local engineer, to sell mainly through organic search, and another site in the same portfolio ranked first for years for "new boiler" and "boiler replacement". What carries over is knowing which searches national brands hold, so your effort goes into map pack searches and installation pages for your own towns.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means being the Gas Safe firm nearby homeowners find for a boiler service, repair or gas safety check, whether they search Google, Maps or an AI assistant. It takes in your profile, a page per job and town, reviews and a sound website.
By being found while homeowners still compare installers. National brands and comparison sites hold much of the broad heating search, so a local firm does better with an installation page per town, answers to pre-quote questions and reviews from recent fittings.
Rank your own pages for the boiler work you want, rather than relying on bought leads, which cost you again each time and dry up when the spending ends. Before Essheo, our founder spent fourteen years buying heating and home energy leads, where quality varied wildly.
Ask every customer once the job is signed off, and reply to each review. Reviews count towards the map pack and reassure a homeowner before anyone opens up their boiler, so a routine after every job beats an occasional push.
Make your business easy for it to find and check. ChatGPT's search draws on Bing's index, so your pages need indexing there as well as in Google, and assistants weigh how steadily new reviews arrive. No one can promise a mention; we track it monthly.
Usually four to eight weeks for early gains, such as a corrected profile or a repair page near page one, and six to twelve months for contested searches such as "new boiler". Nobody controls Google's results, so we promise no date or position.
