Electrical

A 6-electrician contracting business based in Jumeirah, serving the wider Jumeirah area and focused on villa electrical maintenance and upgrades, plus EV charger installation. Before working with us, 65% of enquiries came through ServiceMarket and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often went to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive calls and enquiries, a lower cost per booked job and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge

Where the business was stuck

Small callout jobs fill the diary but rarely pay well, while switchboard upgrades, rewires and EV chargers go to better-marketed firms.
Commercial and residential work need completely different marketing, but most electricians run one generic website for both.
Many electrical businesses rely on referrals, which makes growth unpredictable from month to month.
Peak season (demand is steady, with fit-out work following commercial leasing cycles) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Three services, one goal

We focused on Business Listings & Citations, Local SEO & Google Maps and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), the three channels with the best cost per booked job for electrical contracting businesses in Jumeirah. Every call, form and chat was tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so every decision was based on revenue, not clicks.
