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) 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, AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and Local SEO & Google Maps, the three channels with the best cost per booked job for electrical contracting businesses in Jurong. Every call, form and chat was tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so every decision was based on revenue, not clicks.
What we did
The technical work behind the numbers, service by service.
Service 1
Business Listings & Citations
- Claimed and completed profiles on Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and 57 local and industry directories.
- Cleaned name, address and phone details everywhere, removing 2 duplicate listings that were splitting reviews and confusing Google.
- Added services, photos, opening hours, licence numbers and booking links to every profile, with UTM tags to track leads by source.
- Set up monthly listing monitoring so incorrect edits by users or aggregators are caught and fixed within days.
Service 2
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
- Rewrote 21 service pages so each opens with a direct 40 to 60 word answer to the question buyers actually search.
- Added FAQPage, HowTo and Service schema and question-led headings to target featured snippets and People Also Ask.
- Built a price and timeline guide for renovation electrical wiring with tables that answer engines can lift straight into results.
- Optimised for voice and conversational queries such as "how much does renovation electrical wiring cost near me".
Service 3
Local SEO & Google Maps
- Rebuilt the Google Business Profile: primary category corrected, 6 secondary categories added, 13 services with descriptions and a service area matched to the real travel radius.
- Published 8 suburb and area pages across the wider Jurong area, each with local job photos, travel times and area-specific FAQs.
- Launched a review request flow by WhatsApp after every completed job, lifting review velocity from 1 to 23 new reviews a month.
- Tracked rankings on a 9x9 geo-grid around the office to see Maps visibility street by street, not just from one location.
