Typical searches

Searches from the first cold night

Typical searches read:

  • “how often should a chimney be cleaned”
  • “fireplace smoking into house”
  • “chimney smells in summer”
  • “chimney leak when it rains”
  • “animal in chimney” with a town name

Research follows the services on your website, from sweeping to repairs and liners.

Why it matters

The fireplace smokes into the room, there is a smell of old fires in summer, water stains appear around the chimney, an animal is nesting in the flue, or new homeowners have no idea when the chimney was last cleaned. People want to know how often to sweep, what an inspection looks for, whether a liner is needed and if the fireplace is safe to use. A chimney company that answers those questions calmly on its own website gets booked before the rush. StrideRank writes those articles for your services and area and publishes them every week.

Common challenges

  • Everyone calls at once when the weather turns cold.
  • Inspection findings like liner or crown damage are hard to explain on site.
  • Homeowners do not know that a leak near the chimney might be a chimney job.
  • The quiet season has no content working for the busy one.

Inside knowledge

Things we write around in your trade

  • Sweep and inspection are two things

    Customers book a cleaning and get findings. Articles explain why an inspection is part of the visit.

  • Leaks are often the chimney

    Roofers and sweeps both get the call. Articles explain crown, cap and flashing as your website does.

  • Home sales trigger inspections

    Buyers ask about a chimney nobody has used in years. Articles explain what an inspection can find.

How the articles handle it

Safety stated carefully

Articles explain what an inspection can find and say clearly when a fireplace should not be used until it is checked. Certifications and inspection levels appear only as your website states them, and nothing promises that a chimney is safe without an inspection.
