You’re paying for leads that are just price checks
“How much would this cost, just wondering?” The call costs you the same as a real job.

Quick answer
What does an electrician marketing agency do?
An electrician marketing agency helps electrical contractors get found and chosen by homeowners and businesses who need electrical work. That usually means local SEO and your Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Local Services Ads, and landing pages for each service, from emergency repairs to panel upgrades and EV chargers. A good agency also tracks which calls become booked jobs, so your budget follows revenue, not clicks.
- US click cost, “emergency electrician”

Sound familiar?
Does this sound like you?
Most electricians who call us have tried lead sites or an agency before. If any of these are familiar, you’re in the right place.
Lead site prices keep going up
One electrician on a trade forum saw a ceiling-fan lead go from $2 to $20, with no refund when it went nowhere.
Your reviews live on someone else’s platform
Leave the lead site and years of five-star reviews stay behind with it.
You get small service calls, not the big installs
Outlets and breakers keep crews busy, but panel upgrades, EV chargers and generators go to the company that shows up for them.
Nobody can tell you which marketing books jobs
Reports show clicks and “conversions”. You still can’t see which calls turned into invoices.
What we do

We build the marketing electrical jobs actually come from, and connect every piece to the same tracking.

Google Ads & Local Services Ads
Google Ads and Local Services Ads for electricians
Electrical work comes in two kinds. A dead circuit or a burning smell is urgent and goes to the first electrician who answers. A panel upgrade, EV charger or whole-home generator is planned, compared on price and often waits on a permit or a rebate. Mixing them in one campaign lets small service calls spend the budget meant for the jobs that grow the company.
- Separate campaigns for emergency and service calls, panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators and commercial work, each with its own budget and landing page.
- Emergency bids only when someone can take the call. US top-of-page bids for “emergency electrician” reach $62, so a missed call is expensive.
- Service-area targeting by ZIP code, not a circle around your shop.
- DIY blocking from day one: wiring searches like “3 way switch wiring” get hundreds of thousands of US searches a month and never hire an electrician.
- Weekly search-term reviews to block wrong-trade searches such as electric gate repair and car electrics.
- Local Services Ads as your base layer: Google now uses one Google Verified badge and credits invalid leads automatically, so your job types and service area must be exact from day one.
Keywords
Electrician keywords we bid on, and the ones we block
Half of good electrician PPC is what you don’t pay for. These examples come from US search data for electrical services.
We bid on
We block
emergency electrician near me
electrician jobs, apprenticeship, salary
electrical panel upgrade
3 way switch wiring, gfci outlet wiring
ev charger installation near me
cost of charging an electric car at home
generator installers near me
generators for sale, home depot, lowes
commercial electrician near me
electric gate repair, garage door repair
house rewiring cost
auto electric, car electrical repair
We don’t block cost searches like “panel upgrade cost” or “cost to rewire a house”: those are homeowners getting ready to buy. “Licensed electrician near me” is a buyer too, so it stays in. Generator brand searches get their own ad group, never a blanket block.
Benchmarks
Electrician marketing benchmarks and budget
Electricians pay more per click than the home services average, so your budget has to be planned around cost per booked job, not cost per click.

A worked example
Your numbers will differ.

- Average click cost$15

- Landing page conversion rate9%
- Leadsabout 18, at about $167 each
- Leads that book60% → 11 jobs
- Of those, larger installs2 (panel, EV charger or generator)
Two larger installs a month can cover the whole budget on their own, and the service calls add to it. That’s why we measure cost per booked job and track which jobs were installs, not just how many leads came in.
Try your own numbers in the budget calculatorTypical monthly ad budgets
| Market | Population | Monthly ad spend |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 200,000 | $1,500–$2,500 |
| Mid-size | 200,000–1 million | $2,500–$4,000 |
| Large metro | Over 1 million | $4,000–$5,000+ |
Ad spend only, before management fees. Most electricians start between $1,500 and $5,000 a month; the split by market size is our starting guidance.
How our fee works
- A flat monthly management fee based on what you need, never a percentage of your ad spend.
- Your ad budget is paid straight to Google, and you own the accounts.
- A 3-month start, then month to month.
- Your exact fee comes with your free audit.
Tracking
From call to booked job: how we track it
Google happily reports “conversions” while your schedule stays empty. We track every lead through to the job, so the ads learn from real revenue.
-
01
Every call and form is tracked
Tracked phone numbers show which campaign and keyword made each call, and short calls or spam are filtered out.
-
02
Every lead is graded
Service call, install, commercial, wrong service or spam, so you see lead quality and job type, not just lead count.
-
03
Booked jobs flow back from your software
From tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber, or a simple sheet if that’s what you use.
-
04
Google Ads bids toward booked jobs
Once enough jobs are recorded, bidding optimizes for the calls that become invoices, and for the job types you want more of.
Before you hire
How to choose an electrician marketing agency
Ask any agency these five questions before you sign. The answers tell you more than their sales deck.
-
Do I own my Google Ads account, website and Google Business Profile?
If you leave, you should keep everything, including your reviews.
-
Are the leads only mine?
Shared leads sold to several electricians turn into price wars before you arrive.
-
How do you charge?
A flat fee keeps the agency focused on your results. A percentage of ad spend rewards them for spending more.
-
Can you show me cost per booked job, split by job type?
An agency that can’t tell service calls from panel upgrades can’t grow the right work.
-
What’s the minimum term, and what happens after it?
Long lock-ins protect the agency, not you.

FAQ
Electrician marketing FAQs
How much should an electrician spend on marketing?
Most electricians starting with Google Ads spend $1,500–$5,000 a month on ads, plus a management fee, depending on market size and how many crews you run. Start with enough budget for about 100–200 clicks a month in your main services, then scale what books jobs, especially the larger installs.
How much do electrician leads cost?
The electrician average is about $94 per lead from search ads (LocaliQ, 2025), and clicks got more expensive the year after. Emergency and commercial searches cost the most per click. Cost per booked job matters more: an exclusive $150 lead that books beats a $40 shared lead that doesn’t.
Are Google Ads worth it for electricians?
Yes, when campaigns separate emergency calls from installs, block DIY wiring and job-seeker searches, and track calls to booked jobs. A single panel upgrade or generator install can be worth more than a month of ad spend. The losses come from broad keywords, missed calls and no tracking.
Are Angi or Thumbtack leads worth it for electricians?
They can fill gaps, but they are usually shared with other electricians, prices per lead have risen, and many are price checks. Your reviews also stay on their platform. Leads from your own ads, Google Business Profile and website cost more to build but belong only to you.
Do Local Services Ads work for electricians?
Yes. They appear above regular Google Ads and you pay per lead, not per click. Google now shows a single Google Verified badge and credits invalid leads automatically, so the work is in reviews, fast responses and accurate job type and area settings. They work best alongside Search campaigns.
Should I invest in SEO or Google Ads first?
Start with Google Ads and Local Services Ads if you need calls in the next 30 days, and build SEO at the same time. Ads bring leads within days, while SEO and Maps rankings usually take 3–9 months but keep working without a cost per click. Most electricians end up running both.
How do I get more panel upgrade and EV charger jobs?
Give each one its own landing page, ad group and budget instead of one “electrician” campaign, and show your license, permits and reviews for that exact job. Then track which calls become installs, so Google learns to find more of them. Rebates and tax credits change, so we keep ad copy to what’s current in your state.
How long does electrician marketing take to work?
Paid campaigns usually bring the first leads within 1–2 weeks and settle in around 90 days. SEO and Google Maps rankings usually show clear movement in 3–6 months, and longer in competitive metros. Anyone promising a full schedule in 30 days is usually selling shared leads.
