with 3+ rows factual (use ranges only if client's own page states them - but no client prices given, so I should avoid specific prices or use general ranges with attribution)
- FAQ: exactly 5 question headings ending in "?", each followed by 2-4 sentence answer
- Definition sentence early: query term defined plainly inside
- Real client facts only. No verified pool except EIA and ENERGY STAR and the URLs listed. No canonical NAP except business name, phone, website. No address on record - do not invent. Wait, the user says "Street:, read it off the GBP dashboard (do not guess), Fort Myers, FL" but then says "(no canonical NAP on record for this client, do not invent a phone or address)" and then under THE ONLY CONTACT DETAILS: "Street:, read it off the GBP dashboard (do not guess), Fort Myers, FL". This is contradictory. However, looking carefully, the user says "CANONICAL NAP, use these EXACT values... (no canonical NAP on record for this client, do not invent a phone or address)" but then under "THE ONLY CONTACT DETAILS YOU MAY USE" gives phone and business name and website, and for street says "read it off the GBP dashboard". But I do not have access to a GBP dashboard. The instruction says "do not guess". Since I does not invent an address, and I do not have it, I should omit the street address and only use the provided phone and business name. Wait, but the hard requirements say: "End with a short 'Next step' section naming what to do and how to reach the business with the exact phone and address from the contact line." But there is no address provided. The safest route is to not invent one. I will use phone and website. Actually, the user explicitly says "Never write any other phone number, and never invent an address." So I will not include a street address. Wait, I need to re-read carefully. The user says:
"THE ONLY CONTACT DETAILS YOU MAY USE (exact characters, no others):
- Business name: AC Repair Daily
- Phone: (239) 810-9080
- Street:, read it off the GBP dashboard (do not guess), Fort Myers, FL
- Website: https://acrepairdaily.com
Never write any other phone number, and never invent an address."
This implies I should know it, but I do not. The instruction says "do not guess". So I will omit the street line entirely rather than guess. But the hard requirement says "with the exact phone and address from the contact line." There's a conflict. Since "never invent an address" is a hard rule, and I do not have it, I must omit it. I will include phone and website. Now, content requirements:
- 900-1400 words (previously blocked for being 620 words, need 800+ but overall target 900-1400)
- Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links, using ONLY the URLs listed in the brief's research. - The URLs I may cite:

Also from verified pool:
- EIA 2020 RECS, 88% of US households use AC; South region 93%; single-family homes 90% (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=52558)
- ENERGY STAR, +600 BTU per extra occupant; -10% capacity for heavy shade (https://www.energystar.gov/products/room_air_conditioners)
But wait, the URLs I may cite list does NOT include the EIA or ENERGY STAR URLs. It says "URLs YOU MAY CITE (copy them exactly, do not modify)" and lists only the 6 URLs. However, the verified pool gives those URLs. The instruction says "Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links, using ONLY the URLs listed in this brief's research." The brief's research includes the verified pool URLs? Let me check. The section "VERIFIED POOL" lists the EIA and ENERGY STAR facts with URLs. The "URLs YOU MAY CITE" section lists 6 URLs. I think I should only use the URLs from the "URLs YOU MAY CITE" section to be safe, because that's explicitly restricted. But the verified pool gives me facts I can cite, maybe without linking? No, the requirement says "Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links". So I need to link to some of the allowed URLs. I have:

Wait, the FAQ requirement: exactly 5 h3 question headings ending in "?", each followed by 2-4 sentence answer. This can be inside an H2 FAQ section or just as H3s. Probably inside an H2. Comparison table: must be factual. Since I do not have client prices, I should compare methods or service levels, or compare duct cleaning vs replacement vs maintenance.
Or compare what different approaches cover. The rule says "no invented prices, use ranges only if the client's own page states them." Since client's own page does not state them (no client facts/services provided in the brief? Wait: "CLIENT FACTS / SERVICES: {}" empty), I does not use price ranges unless attributed to a source. I could compare " NADCA vacuum method" vs "rotary brush" vs "chemical treatment" but need to be factual. Or compare signs that indicate need vs. what does not.

Duct cleaning in Fort Myers, FL means removing dust, debris, and microbial growth from your HVAC ductwork using negative-pressure vacuums and mechanical agitation. Most single-family homes in the South run AC year-round, so ducts here accumulate humidity-driven contaminants faster than in drier climates. AC Repair Daily provides same-day duct evaluations and licensed HVAC service under Florida license CAC1824318.
Wait, does AC Repair Daily provide duct cleaning? The client facts/services is empty {}. I should not claim they provide it unless it's verified. The user says "Real client facts only. If a fact is not in the verified pool or the client's own services, phrase it as a general verifiable statement or omit it." The client facts are empty. So I does not state AC Repair Daily provides duct cleaning. I can state they provide HVAC service and same-day service generally, but claiming duct cleaning specifically might be unverified. However, the page is about duct cleaning Fort Myers FL and the business is AC Repair Daily. It's implied they offer it since they're writing the page. But the brief says client facts/services is empty. This is tricky. I should write the page as a resource from AC Repair Daily, an HVAC contractor, without explicitly claiming they perform duct cleaning unless necessary. But the page purpose is to win the query. The brand voice says "same-day service emphasis". I can say "AC Repair Daily offers same-day HVAC service" and mention duct evaluation. I'll phrase carefully: "AC Repair Daily handles same-day HVAC calls in Lee County under Florida license CAC1824318." And maybe mention "we do duct cleaning" is not explicitly verified, but the page is for that. Hmm. Duct cleaning is the process of removing settled dust, pollen, and other debris from the interior surfaces of a home's forced-air distribution system.
H2: When a Fort Myers Home Actually Needs Duct Cleaning
- EPA link: duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. https://www.epa.gov/answers/indoor-air-quality-solutions.html-iaq/should-you-have-air-ducts-your-home-cleaned#:~:text=Other%20Important%20Considerations-,Duct%20cleaning%20has%20never%20been%20shown%20to%20actually%20prevent%20health,or%20go%20down%20after%20cleaning.
- Florida humidity causes mold. Visible mold growth or musty smells are reasons. Dust after renovation.
- 88% US households use AC, South 93% (EIA) - but I does not link to EIA because not in allowed URLs. I can state it as general knowledge? No, "If a number does not be tied to a linked source, state it as a range and attribute it to the source you linked." But I does not link to EIA. So I should omit the EIA stats or mention them without linking? The requirement is "Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links, using ONLY the URLs listed in this brief's research." It does not say every fact must be linked, but "If a number does not be tied to a linked source..." So I can use the EIA fact but tie it to... nothing? Better to omit EIA stats since I does not link to them and do not want to violate rules. Wait, the user included EIA in verified pool. Usually that means I can use it. But the URLs I may cite section restricts inline links. I can mention the stat and not link it? The rule says "Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links". It does not say all citations must be from that list, but "using ONLY the URLs listed". This likely means the hyperlinks must be from that list. I can mention EIA without a hyperlink. But the instruction "Cite at least THREE real outbound sources as inline links" means I need 3 tags with those URLs. I'll use EPA (duct cleaning health claims), EPA general IAQ, and FTC (for consumer tips), and maybe energy.gov.
H2: When Duct Cleaning Makes Sense in Southwest Florida
The EPA states that duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. That said, Fort Myers homes sit in a hot-humid climate zone where central AC runs most of the year. Ducts can harbor visible mold, pest droppings, or renovation debris. If you smell mildew when the blower starts, or if registers show black staining, an inspection is warranted. Otherwise, routine filter changes and coil cleaning often address the source of indoor dust.
H2: What the Work Should Cover
A proper job starts with a visual inspection of the supply and return sides. Technicians attach a high-efficiency vacuum to the ductwork to create negative pressure, then use brushes or compressed air to dislodge buildup. They should clean registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet. The EPA notes that chemical biocides are not routinely recommended for duct interiors. Ask for before-and-after photos of the actual duct surfaces, not just the registers.
