Three spots. Someone standing in a dark kitchen calls one of these.
Why electrical work is different
Customers cannot see the work, so they check the electrician
Most people cannot judge wiring. It sits behind the walls, and if it is done badly they may not find out for years. So they judge the person instead. They read reviews for whether the electrician showed up on time, explained the problem, cleaned up, and charged what they said. They look for a license number.
The job list has also changed. Car chargers, panel upgrades, standby generators, batteries, and smart home wiring each bring their own searches, and the people typing them are usually planning a real project. Many local shops still have one page that lists all of it. A page for each job is how a shop wins those searches.
A homeowner who trusts their electrician calls them for every job in the house after that.
Then there is the split between homes and businesses. A property manager looking for a commercial electrician searches differently from a homeowner with a flickering light, and wants different proof. If you do both, each side needs its own pages.
Two spots on one page
The map gets the call. The listing under it closes the deal.
When someone searches for an electrician, Google shows the map first and the regular results under it. The person with half the house dark calls from the map. The homeowner planning a charger, a generator, or a new panel reads the sites under it, compares a few shops, and calls the one that explained the job. A shop that holds a spot in both gets the service call and the project after it.
We work both. Your Google Business Profile wins the map. Your website wins the listing under it. The audit checks where you stand in each.

Where the calls go missing
Six things we find on most electrician profiles
None of them look serious alone. Together they send calls to the shop down the road.
- Categories that miss the workElectrician alone, when the shop installs chargers and generators every week. Or extra categories for work nobody on the crew does. Electrician is the primary. Every other category matches real jobs.
- One page called ServicesPanels, chargers, generators, lighting, rewiring, and troubleshooting on one page. Google ranks whole pages, so a page about everything ranks for nothing.
- No license number anywhereCareful customers look for it before they let anyone open a panel. A site and profile with no license number make them wonder why.
- Hours that promise more than the phone deliversThe listing says open all night and the call goes to voicemail. The next review says so, and the next customer reads it.
- Homes and businesses blurred togetherOne page tries to speak to the homeowner and the facilities manager at once. Neither one finds what they came for.
- Stock photos of light bulbsCustomers want to see your panels, your trucks, and your crew. Google uses real photos to understand the business, and a stock image tells it nothing.
How we work with electricians
Built around how people find an electrician
We fix the profile before anything else
Electrician as the primary category, and secondary ones such as Electrical installation service, Lighting contractor, or Electric vehicle charging station contractor only when you do that work. Then true hours, a service area drawn around where your trucks go, and photos of real jobs.
We build a page for each job you want more of
Panel upgrades, car chargers, generators, rewiring, lighting, troubleshooting, and commercial work, only for what you offer. Each one gets its own page, written for the person searching for it. Those pages are what put you in the results under the map.
We answer the questions people ask before they call
Whether a job needs a permit, whether the panel can handle a charger, what drives the cost, and how long it takes. Plain answers, approved by you, with prices only if you choose to share them.
We show what can be checked
Your license number where your state or city issues one, your insurance, and photos of your crew on real jobs. They go on the site and the profile, and they match.
We keep reviews coming
The tech asks at the end of a good job, and a text follows with a link. Replies stay short and friendly, and they keep the customer's address and details out of it.
We report booked jobs
Each month you see where you rank across your area for the searches that matter, how that moved, and how many people called. Traffic stays off the report because nobody pays you in traffic.

Is this for you
Which shops this is for
A good fit
- A licensed shop working homes, businesses, or both, in an area you can name
- One truck or several, with room in the schedule
- Someone picks up the phone during the hours you list
- You can give it three to six months before you judge it
Not a fit
- You are booked months out and turning work away
- You need calls by Friday. Paid ads do that faster
- You want to show up across the whole state from one address
- You care more about traffic numbers than booked jobs
Questions
What electricians ask us
Should we list ourselves as open all night if we only take some emergency calls?
List what is true. If someone answers after hours, show it and build a page for emergency work. If night calls go to voicemail, keep the hours honest, because a listing that says open and a phone that rings out turns into bad reviews.
We do homes and businesses. One profile or two?
One business gets one profile. Each side gets its own pages on the site. A second profile only makes sense for a separate business with its own staffed office.
How long until we see more calls?
Usually three to six months to start seeing big results. Fixing the profile and listings moves the map first. Service pages and reviews take longer and keep building.
Can we rank for car chargers and generators if we are newer to that work?
Yes, if you do the work. A category, a page, and photos of real installs tell Google you do it. The customers who type those searches are planning a project, and the page is what they read before they call.
Do you put our prices on the site?
Only if you want them there. Some shops post a starting price for common jobs, and some explain what drives the cost. Both answer what people are typing, and you decide.
Most of our work comes from builders. Is this worth it?
It depends on what you want next. If you want more service calls and homeowner projects, yes, that is exactly what the map and the listings bring. If you plan to stay with builders, a strong profile still helps, but the push may not pay back.
Can we compete with the big franchise shops?
On the map, yes. A franchise location is one profile like yours, and Google ranks the closest, best reviewed, best described shop. You win your own towns and the project searches they do not cover well.
What does it cost?
Campaigns start at $1,500 a month, flat, with no setup fee. Month to month.
