Official Brand Guide
Plumbing & HVAC SEO
A reference for our team, partners, and collaborators — covering every element of our visual identity, brand voice, and client messaging.
Logo
Our logo is the most recognizable element of our brand. It must be used consistently and without modification across all materials. Four approved versions are available to ensure legibility across every background context.
Do
- ✓Use only the approved logo files provided in this guide
- ✓Maintain a minimum clear space equal to the height of the 'SEO' badge on all sides
- ✓Use the correct logo version for the background it sits on
- ✓Scale the logo proportionally at all times
Don't
- ✕Do not stretch, skew, or distort the logo
- ✕Do not recolor or apply effects to the logo
- ✕Do not place the logo on busy backgrounds without sufficient contrast
- ✕Do not recreate or substitute the logo with any other graphic
Color Palette
Our color palette is deliberately restrained. The accent green signals energy and results without being loud. Black and gray provide structure, authority, and professionalism.
| Element | Color | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary CTA Buttons | Accent Green | Black text on green button |
| Page Headlines (H1) | Rich Black | On light backgrounds |
| Section Headings (H2/H3) | Rich Black or Charcoal | Depends on background |
| Body Text | Charcoal | Easier on the eye than pure black |
| Supporting / Caption Text | Mid Gray | Labels, metadata, footnotes |
| Dark Section Backgrounds | Rich Black | White or light text on top |
| Accent / Highlight Bars | Accent Green | Thin rule lines, stat callouts |
Typography
Typography establishes hierarchy, readability, and tone. Our primary brand font is Getho — a bold, geometric sans-serif that communicates authority and clarity. For digital environments where Getho is unavailable, Inter serves as the system fallback.
.woff2 and .woff files in a /fonts/ directory and add @font-face declarations to the stylesheet. Until then, Inter renders as the fallback.Do
- ✓Use Getho for all headlines, display text, and prominent UI labels
- ✓Use Inter for body copy, captions, and interface text
- ✓Maintain clear typographic hierarchy with distinct size steps between levels
- ✓Use bold weight to emphasize key phrases — not entire paragraphs
Don't
- ✕Do not use decorative or script fonts in brand materials
- ✕Do not use more than two type sizes within a single body paragraph
- ✕Do not set body copy in all caps
- ✕Do not use light or thin weights for headlines — they undercut authority
Voice & Tone
Our brand voice is the consistent personality expressed across every piece of communication. Our tone may shift slightly depending on context, but the underlying character remains constant.
Professional
We speak like experienced strategists, not salespeople. Our language is precise, grounded, and free of filler. We respect our clients' intelligence.
Strategic
We think in systems and outcomes. Every claim is tied to a result. We talk about ROI, lead flow, and market dominance — not 'brand awareness' for its own sake.
Confident
We know what we do and we say so plainly. We do not hedge, over-qualify, or use passive language. Confidence is earned through specificity and proof.
Performance-Driven
Everything we say connects back to measurable outcomes. We lead with data, back claims with statistics, and frame success in terms clients care about: leads, jobs booked, revenue growth.
Voice in Practice — What We Say vs. What We Avoid
Words That Define Our Voice
Ideal Client Profile
Every brand decision — from the words we choose to the visuals we use — should be made with our ideal client in mind. Understanding who we serve ensures our messaging resonates with the right audience and repels the wrong fit.

The Accelerated Growth Model
StoryBrand Framework
Our messaging follows the StoryBrand framework, which positions the client as the hero and Plumbing & HVAC SEO as the experienced guide. This framework ensures all content is client-centric, empathetic, and focused on transformation.
The Hero
A 2nd or 3rd generation plumbing, HVAC, or electrical business owner earning $1M–$5M annually. They want a predictable, scalable lead flow that supports growth and hiring — and they want to finally make sense of their digital marketing.
The Problem
External: Lack of local visibility, unqualified leads, fragmented marketing. Internal: Frustration from being burned before, overwhelm with digital complexity, doubt about whether anything will work. Philosophical: Great home service companies shouldn't lose to louder competitors just because they don't understand digital.
The Guide
Plumbing & HVAC SEO. We specialize exclusively in residential home service contractors. We've walked this path with hundreds of businesses. We understand your world — and we have a proven system to transform it.
The Plan
The Accelerated Growth Model: Drive Leads → Maximize Conversions → Optimize Results. A clear, step-by-step process that removes confusion and creates a predictable path to growth.
The Call to Action
Primary: Schedule a Strategy Session. Secondary: Read our book, explore case studies, watch our YouTube channel.
Success Vision
Consistent high-quality leads every month. Clear ROI from every channel. Peace of mind knowing marketing is handled by specialists. Freedom to focus on service, staff, and growth. Top of Google. Top of mind. Top in their market.
Failure Stakes
Losing jobs to competitors who dominate Google. Bleeding cash on agencies with no ROI. Staying invisible online while others take their customers. Feeling stuck, unable to grow, missing hiring targets due to lead droughts.
Calls to Action
Every piece of content should have a clear, intentional call to action. Use the primary CTA as the main conversion driver. Transitional CTAs nurture prospects who are not yet ready to commit.

Brand Don'ts
Maintaining brand integrity requires knowing what to avoid just as much as knowing what to do. The following are firm guidelines that protect the credibility, clarity, and authority of the Plumbing & HVAC SEO brand.
No Hype Language
Avoid words like "game-changing," "revolutionary," "crushing it," "rockstar," or "supercharge." These undermine credibility with serious business owners who have been burned by flashy promises before.
No Startup Aesthetics
Avoid neon gradients, excessive animations, trendy design patterns, or anything that looks like a tech startup. Our clients are tradespeople, not Silicon Valley founders. Design should feel established and credible.
No Vague Claims
"We get results" is not acceptable. "We helped Valley Plumbing grow 1 new truck every 9 months" is. Every performance claim must be tied to a specific metric, case study, or data point.
No Generic Positioning
Never describe Plumbing & HVAC SEO as a "full-service digital marketing agency." We are specialists. Our niche is our strength and it must always be front and center in every piece of communication.
No Unauthorized Logo Use
Do not recreate, alter, or substitute the logo. Do not use unapproved color treatments or place the logo on backgrounds that compromise legibility. Always use the approved files from this guide.
No Off-Brand Fonts
Do not use decorative, script, or novelty typefaces in any brand material. Stick to Getho for headlines and Inter for body copy. Font consistency is a key part of our professional identity.
