The problem

Why electrical contractor marketing usually stalls

Electrical work splits into two very different phones: urgent repair calls that need a same-day answer, and planned projects like panel upgrades, EV chargers, and generators that need a trusted estimate. Marketing has to win both.

We build that system: high-intent search campaigns split by urgency and project type, Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed badge, and local SEO that keeps you in the map pack across every town you serve.

Every lead is exclusive and tracked. You see call recordings, form fills, and cost per booked job, so you always know what your marketing is producing.

FAQ

electrical contractor marketing FAQ

What is electrical contractor marketing?

Electrical contractor marketing is the system that puts your company in front of homeowners searching for repairs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and generator installs, then turns that attention into booked jobs. Done properly it combines paid search, Local Services Ads, local SEO, a converting website, and fast follow-up.

How much does this cost?

Management packages start at $1,750 per month, with ad spend paid separately to the platforms. Tiered plans run $1,750, $2,500, or $4,250 per month depending on how much of your marketing we handle.

How fast can electrical ads produce leads?

Paid search and Local Services Ads typically produce leads within the first week of launch, which matters for urgent repair searches. Local SEO compounds over three to six months and lowers your blended cost per lead.

Can you generate leads for bigger projects?

Yes. We run separate campaigns for high-ticket work like panel upgrades, EV chargers, and standby generators so they are not crowded out by emergency repair calls.

Are the leads exclusive?

Yes. Every lead is generated in your own ad and search accounts and goes only to you. We never resell or share a contact with a competitor in your market.

Do I own the leads and accounts?

Yes. Website, ad accounts, CRM, and every lead record are yours, on a month-to-month agreement with no long-term contract.
