Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from electricians in Gateshead every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Brilliant sparky with barely any online reviews
Your customers are happy, but they're not leaving reviews. Meanwhile, the electrician with 70 five-star reviews gets every call — even though your work is just as good.
Invisible to homeowners searching nearby
When someone searches "electrician near me" on their phone, Google shows three results. If your listing is bare or has few reviews, you're not one of them.
Your website doesn't show you're a proper business
No photos of your work, no accreditations, no reviews visible. Homeowners want proof you're legitimate before they let you into their home to work on their electrics.
Not showing up on Google Maps
Most people pick an electrician from the map results without scrolling any further. If you're not in those top three spots, you might as well not exist online.
