0 to 35 leads in 3 months for Davis Electrical Solutions, Cork
Good electricians lose work to whoever shows up first
Most people looking for an electrician do not scroll. They look at the map results, compare the star ratings and ring one of the top three. If your profile is half filled in, has four reviews and has not been touched in a year, you are not in that shortlist, however good your work is.
01
Relevance
Google has to understand exactly what you do. The right categories, a full services list and clear descriptions tell it which searches you should appear for.
02
Distance
You cannot move your address, but you can set your service areas correctly and back them up with pages and posts that mention the towns you cover.
03
Prominence
Reviews, photos, activity and mentions of your business elsewhere online. This is where most electricians fall behind, and where steady work pays off.
Everything that moves you up the map
Google Business Profile management
Full setup or clean-up of your profile: categories, services, service areas, opening hours, description and photos. Then kept active every week so it never goes stale.
Same-day review system
A simple link and a habit: ask every happy customer on the day the job is done. This is the single biggest lever I have seen. Davis Electrical went from 0 to 30 reviews at 4.9 stars in 3 months this way.
Regular Google posts and photos
Posts about real jobs in real towns, with your own photos. They show Google and customers that the business is active and working locally.
Consistent business details
Your name, address and phone number matched across your website and the main directories, so Google trusts that the details it shows are correct.
Starter website
A fast, clean site that backs up your profile, or a tune-up of the one you already have. When you want it to rank in its own right, you move to the SEO and websites package.
Monthly report
Calls, direction requests, website clicks and where you rank on the map. One page, plain numbers, sent every month.

Local SEO questions from electricians
How long does local SEO take to work for an electrician?
Most of the early movement comes from the Google Business Profile, which responds faster than a website. Davis Electrical Solutions in Cork went from zero to 35 enquiries in the first 3 months. Your area and competition will change the pace, which is why the minimum term is 3 months.
Do I need a website for local SEO?
You can rank in the map results without one, but a website gives Google more to work with and gives customers somewhere to check you out. The Local SEO package includes a starter website, or a tune-up of the one you already have.
What do you need from me?
Access to your Google Business Profile, photos of real jobs, and a few minutes after each job to send the review link. I handle the rest and report back every month.
Do you work with more than one electrician in the same area?
No. I take one electrician per service area, so I am never working for two businesses competing for the same calls.
What does local SEO for an electrician cost?
The Local SEO package is 299 euro a month with a 250 euro one-time setup fee and a 3-month minimum term. Full details are on the pricing page.
What is the difference between local SEO and website SEO?
Local SEO is about the map results and your Google Business Profile. Website SEO is about your own pages ranking for searches like rewires, fuse board upgrades or EV chargers in each town you cover. The SEO and websites package does both.
