Typical searches

Searches from the cold room

Typical searches read:

  • “one room always cold in winter”
  • “spray foam vs blown in insulation”
  • “how much attic insulation do i need”
  • “air sealing before insulation”
  • “remove old attic insulation” with a town name

Research follows the services and materials on your website.

Why it matters

One room is always cold, the upstairs bakes in summer, ice forms along the roof edge, or the heating bill feels too high for the size of the house. Homeowners want to know whether the attic needs more insulation, how spray foam compares with blown-in, what air sealing does and whether old insulation has to come out first. An insulation contractor that explains this plainly on its own website earns the home assessment. StrideRank writes those articles for your services and your climate and publishes them every week.

Common challenges

  • Energy programs and big-box stores dominate the searches homeowners start with.
  • Customers cannot see the attic and doubt what they are told about it.
  • Material comparisons and rebate questions come up at every estimate.
  • Crews are in attics all day, and nobody writes for the website.
Trade talk

How your customers say it — and what you call it.

People search the symptom, not the term. The articles meet them in their words and answer in yours.

  • Your customer types: one room always colder than the restYou call it: Thermal bypass
  • Your customer types: loose fluffy insulation blown in the atticYou call it: Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass (loose-fill)
  • Your customer types: closing gaps before adding insulationYou call it: Air sealing the attic floor
  • Your customer types: old insulation looks flat and dirtyYou call it: Compressed or contaminated insulation removal
  • Your customer types: foam sprayed on the roof undersideYou call it: Open-cell vs closed-cell spray foam
  • Your customer types: how good the insulation isYou call it: R-value at installed thickness

Inside knowledge

Things we write around in your trade

  • Air sealing first

    More insulation over open gaps disappoints. Articles explain why sealing comes first when your website offers it.

  • Rebates change

    Programs and credits come and go. Articles mention them only with a current source.

  • The attic tells a story

    Old pest damage, wiring and ventilation show up during the visit. Articles explain what an assessment looks for.

How the articles handle it

R-values and savings handled carefully

Articles explain R-values in general terms with the disclosures the federal R-value rule expects, and never promise a lower bill. Rebates and tax credits change, so articles mention them only with a current source.

Rules the articles respect

  • R-values in ads come with the details

    Under the FTC’s R-value rule, an ad that gives an R-value must also give the type and thickness of insulation and the standard statement that a higher R-value means greater insulating power; comparisons must use the same coverage. Articles that mention R-values follow that and avoid bare numbers.

    SourceeCFR — 16 CFR 460.18 (insulation ads) (opens in a new tab)

  • Installers hand over a signed receipt

    The same rule requires installers to give customers a dated, signed contract or receipt showing coverage area, thickness and R-value of what was installed, with extra details for loose-fill. Articles describe that paperwork as your website does.

Where rules vary by state, check yours — this is not legal advice.
