Google Ads for electricians

When the power goes out or a homeowner is planning a panel upgrade, they go straight to Google. We build and manage Google Ads that put your electrical company in front of those searches and turn them into booked jobs, not just clicks. One high-value job usually pays for months of management.

Why Google for electrical

Electrical is a search-first business

Electrical demand splits two ways, and both live on Google. Emergencies come in hot: power out, sparking, a burning smell, a tripped panel that will not reset. People search "electrician near me" or "emergency electrician" and hire the first credible company that picks up. Then there is planned high-ticket work, panel and service upgrades, EV charger installation, whole-home rewires, generators, and lighting, where homeowners search "panel upgrade [city]" or "EV charger installation" and compare a few options before they commit.

The catch is that electrical keywords are crowded and easy to waste money on. Without tight management you burn budget on people searching for electrician jobs, apprentices, DIY wiring how-tos, and parts or supply. The money is made in the details: the right keywords, ruthless negatives, fast follow-up, and tracking that proves which clicks became booked jobs.

Questions

Electrical ad questions, straight answers

How much should an electrician spend on Google Ads?+

Most electricians do well starting around $1,500 to $6,000 a month in ad spend, separate from management, depending on your market and how many techs you can keep busy. Because one panel upgrade or EV charger install is worth a lot, the math usually works fast. We size it with you in the free ad account audit.

What is a good cost per lead for electricians?+

It varies by market and by emergency versus planned work, but well-run electrical search often lands qualified leads in the range of tens to low hundreds of dollars per lead, with Local Services Ads sometimes cheaper. The number that really matters is cost per booked job, which is what we report on.

Should I use Local Services Ads or regular Search?+

Usually both. Local Services Ads (Google Guaranteed) put you at the very top and charge per lead, which is great for electricians, but they cap out. Search campaigns capture the rest of the demand and give you more control. We run and balance both based on what books jobs cheapest.

Can you focus budget on high-value jobs like panel upgrades and EV chargers?+

Yes. We can structure campaigns to lean budget into the work that pays best, like panel and service upgrades, EV charger installation, whole-home rewires, and generators, while still catching emergency calls. We optimize to the jobs you actually want more of.

Do I have to sign a long contract?+

No. Everything is month to month. All we ask is 30 days notice if you decide to cancel, so we can wind your campaigns down cleanly and you are never stuck paying for ad spend you did not plan for.
