In HVAC the van is the billboard

Your van parks in a driveway for hours, in the neighbourhood where you want the next job. No other trade gets an ad surface that well targeted, and most waste it.

Module 3 of the Castells Media academy for contractors: Brand and identity.

Why the van matters more here than elsewhere

What has to be on it

The rest of the surface

The five-surface count. Anything under five means a homeowner who saw your van on Tuesday and your search result on Friday may not know it was the same company. In a trade where the buying decision takes weeks of dread about a dying system, that gap is expensive.

Do this next: Stand across the street from your own van and read the phone number. If you cannot, that is the first thing to fix, before any website work.
