SEO for electricians: get found for the rewires, not just the call-outs
SEO for electricians means getting found on Google for the work you actually want: rewires, consumer units, EICRs, EV chargers and solar, not just "electrician near me" at 10pm. It comes down to your Google Business Profile, a page for each type of job, your reviews and your registrations. Here's how it works, and how we do it for you. Local SEO is £297 a month on top of the Growth System, which comes with a free website, or £497 a month on its own.

Sound familiar?
You turn up to swap a light fitting. The firm down the road gets the full rewire next door.
Search "EV charger installer" plus your town. You're not there. Three national installers are.
Your NICEIC listing says you do everything. Your website says "domestic and commercial electrical services", and that's it.
Why electrician SEO is different
People search for the job, not the trade
"Electrician near me" is mostly small jobs and emergencies. The money is in searches like "consumer unit replacement", "full rewire cost", "EICR landlord" and "EV charger installation". Each one needs its own page, or Google won't show you for it.
Registration matters, to Google and to customers
Electrical work is the one trade people really worry about getting wrong. Your NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA registration, Part P and insurance need to be on your website and your Google profile. Your listing on your scheme's own "find an electrician" directory also counts as a link back to you.
Landlord work comes round again
EICRs on rented homes are due at least every five years. Landlords and letting agents search for it, book it and come back next time. Get found once and it keeps paying.
What gets electricians ranking
1. A finished Google Business Profile
Primary category "Electrician", with every service listed: rewires, consumer units, EICRs, EV chargers, solar and batteries, fault finding, lighting and PAT testing. Add your service areas, real job photos each week, and your emergency hours if you do them.
2. A page for every job
One page each for the jobs you want more of, with your own photos and a rough idea of cost. Hidden in a list on a "Services" page, they won't rank.
3. A page for every area
"Electrician Gosforth" needs a page about your electrical work that mentions Gosforth. Cover ten towns, build ten pages. Here's why town pages work.
4. Reviews, every week
Reviews are one of the biggest ranking signals in the map results. Review requests after every job keep your count and rating climbing. See how review requests work.
5. Your details right everywhere
Name, address and phone number exactly the same on your scheme's directory, Yell, Bing, Apple Maps and the rest.
