HVAC Slogan Generator

• Van / truck lettering, 30 characters, 6 words

  United States Sign Council: six words or 30 letters is what a passing motorist can actually read.

• Business card line, 62 characters (estimate)

  Computed from the card this site's business-card builder prints: a 234 pt live column at 7.5 pt type.

• Yard sign (2 lines), 28 characters per line, 2 lines, 7 words (estimate)

  Seven words or fewer is the sourced cap for an 18 x 24 in sign read from the road. The per-line split is our estimate.

• Google Business Profile description, 750 characters

  Google: "Do not exceed 750 characters in the description field." Your tagline opens it; the rest is yours.

Sources: United States Sign Council, Sign Legibility Rules of Thumb · Google, Edit your Business Profile · yard sign layout rules. The business-card budget is computed from the same 234 pt live column this site’s business-card builder prints at; the yard-sign per-line split is our estimate, because a tagline’s letter height there depends on how much room your company name takes. Google also prohibits taglines in the business name field the 750 characters are for the description.

• An express claim is presumed to matter

  The FTC’s deception policy presumes express claims are material, and calls out performance, durability, and warranties by name. That is most of what a contractor tagline is made of.

• You need the proof before you run the ad

  Substantiation policy requires a reasonable basis for an objective claim before it is published. “Same-day service guaranteed” is an objective claim. “Same-day appointments available” is a description of how you book.

• “Best” is usually fine. “#1” is not.

  Puffery, an opinion nobody takes as fact, is a real safe harbour, and “best” sits inside it. A ranking, a rating, or an award reads as something a customer could go and verify, so it does not.

• The strongest promise names its own remedy

  The national brands that own this space all do the same thing “on time, or you don’t pay”. It is better marketing, and the remedy is the substantiation.

• A credential on a truck may need a licence number next to it

  California requires the licence number in all advertising and names vehicle lettering and yard signs specifically, the two surfaces with the tightest character budget. Check your own state before the wrap goes on.

This is a prompt to check your wording, not legal advice. Sources: FTC Policy Statement on Deception · FTC Policy Statement Regarding Advertising Substantiation · CSLB, advertising on vehicles.

• Benefit

  Names what the homeowner gets. The safest line to put on everything.

• Promise

  Commits to something specific. The strongest of these attach a remedy, and they are the ones to check against the claims panel.

• Local

  Ties you to the town. Works hardest on yard signs and truck doors in the neighbourhoods you already serve.

• Wordplay

  Memorable, and it dates faster. Good on a shirt, risky as the line under your logo.

• Descriptor

  Says plainly what you do. Boring on purpose, it is the one that helps a stranger understand you in two seconds.

• Tell it who you are and what you lead on

  Enter your business name and city, then pick the one thing you want a stranger to remember: speed, price, experience, workmanship, family-owned, or 24/7 availability. Trying to say all six is how taglines end up saying nothing.

• Compare five patterns side by side

  Each result is labelled with its pattern, so you can see how a benefit line reads against a promise, a local-pride line, a pun, or a plain service descriptor, and pick the one that actually sounds like your shop.

• Check that it physically fits

  Every slogan is measured against four real surfaces: van and truck lettering (30 characters, six words), a business card line, a two-line yard sign, and the Google Business Profile description. Anything that oversets is flagged with how much to cut.

• Check what it claims

  Guarantees, superlatives, absolutes, price claims, and credential claims are all flagged as advertising claims you would have to be able to back up, each with a rewrite that keeps the message and drops the assertion.
