Emergency
“emergency electrician near me”, “24 hour electrician [town]”
Decided in minutes, almost entirely in the map pack. Whoever appears with a phone number and reviews gets the call. Position four is worth very little here.
SEO for electricians
Someone whose consumer unit has just tripped is not browsing. They search, they look at the three results with a map next to them, and they ring one. The whole job is being one of those three, for the work you actually want, in the towns you actually cover.
Four different searches
Most electricians' websites have a page called Services listing rewires, EICRs, fuse boards, EV chargers, lighting and fault finding together. That page is asked to rank for all of them and usually ranks for none. The searches split four ways, and each way wants its own page with its own heading.
The compliance and commercial groups are where the quiet money is. Landlord EICRs come round every five years in England's private rented sector, and fixed wire testing on commercial premises is a bigger job with a fraction of the competition.
Emergency
Decided in minutes, almost entirely in the map pack. Whoever appears with a phone number and reviews gets the call. Position four is worth very little here.
Compliance
Landlords and letting agents on a five-yearly cycle, plus homeowners selling. Repeat work, planned in advance, and almost never served by a single Services page.
Installation
Higher value, longer consideration, and the searcher usually gets three quotes. These want a page each with a real price range on it.
Commercial
Fewer searches, far larger jobs, and much weaker competition than the domestic terms. Usually the most under-served page on an electrician's site.
How it works
No persona quizzes, no dashboards nobody opens. The work is the pages, the profile and the technical basics, done in the order that moves enquiries first.
Before anything is built, we check Search Console and the live results for the towns you cover. Sometimes a page is already sitting at position 12 and needs a title fixed, which is a week's work, not a project.
Categories, services, service area, photos, posts and questions, kept consistent with the site. For emergency searches this outweighs everything on the website, and it is the fastest thing on this list to move.
EICRs, fuse board upgrades, rewires, EV chargers, commercial testing — a page each, with the heading matching what people type, a real price range, and the questions a nervous homeowner asks before they ring.
Genuinely different pages for the areas you actually work in, sequenced by what each is worth. A few at a time, properly, instead of twenty with the town name swapped.
Position and clicks for the specific searches being targeted, monthly, in plain English. Targets are reviewed at eight weeks so anything not responding gets changed early.
Local is £495 a month: one area, the searches around it, the Business Profile and the site work. Growth is £995 a month where you want more job types, more towns or the harder terms. If you already have a website worth keeping there is no build to fund, so Growth is £895 a month on a six-month minimum term instead of 12. Prices are the full amount payable; no VAT is added on top.
Compare that against what you currently spend on bought leads, not against zero. A lead platform charges per enquiry and rents you the position; this costs the same whether it produces two calls or twenty, takes months to build, and the pages and rankings stay yours. It is slower and cheaper per job, and it will not replace paid leads on day one. Full pricing.
