Good Electricians Are Losing Work to Better Marketers
You hold a current NSW Fair Trading electrical licence. You’ve got years of experience and a van full of qualifications. Your customers leave great reviews, when they remember to leave them. But the electrician down the road, the one who started two years ago, is somehow ranking above you on Google and getting calls that should be yours.
The problem isn’t your work. It’s your visibility. Most electrical businesses we look at have the same gaps: a website that was built years ago and never updated, a Google Business Profile that’s been claimed but barely filled in, no strategy for collecting reviews, and no idea whether the money they spent on Google Ads last year actually generated a single job.
Electrical work in Sydney is competitive. Homeowners searching for electricians have dozens of options within a few kilometres. Strata managers comparing quotes need to see professionalism and credentials before they’ll even shortlist you. If your online presence doesn’t immediately communicate competence, reliability, and availability, someone else’s does.
The electricians who consistently win work, the ones with full calendars and growing teams, aren’t necessarily better at the electrical work. They’re better at being found. That’s the gap we close.
How BMS Gets Electricians More Work
We build complete digital marketing systems for electrical businesses. Your website, your Google presence, your advertising, your reputation, and your reporting, all working together as one system.
Your website is built on WordPress, fast on mobile, with click-to-call buttons and clear service descriptions for every type of electrical work you do. Residential rewiring, switchboard upgrades, smoke alarm compliance, safety inspections, lighting design, solar installation, EV charger installation, whatever you offer gets its own page targeting the keywords your customers actually search.
Your local SEO is built around your Google Business Profile and the suburb-level searches that drive electrical work. “Electrician near me,” “electrician [suburb],” “emergency electrician after hours,” these are the searches that generate calls. We optimise your profile, build your local citations, and create content that tells Google exactly where you work and what you do.
Your Google Ads target electrical-specific keywords with proper conversion tracking. You’ll know how many calls each campaign generates and what each call costs. No more spending blind.
Your social media showcases completed jobs, shares customer reviews, and keeps your business visible in the local community. Your reputation management builds a steady stream of genuine Google reviews that improves both your rankings and your conversion rate.
Your analytics ties it all together. Monthly reports in plain language: how many calls, from which channels, at what cost. If it’s not generating work, we want to know as much as you do.
Specialist Electrical Services We Cover
Commercial Electricians
Marketing for electrical contractors serving strata, commercial, and industrial clients. Win the maintenance contracts and tender for the project work that provides steady revenue.
Residential Electricians
Websites and marketing for electricians serving homeowners. Switchboard upgrades, rewiring, lighting, power points, smoke alarms, safety inspections. Capture the local search traffic that fills your diary.
Emergency Electricians
After-hours visibility for emergency callouts. Power failures, safety switch trips, sparking outlets. When someone needs an electrician now, they need to find you first.
Solar Installers
Digital marketing for solar installation businesses. A growing market with customers who research extensively before committing. Build visibility and trust through search and content.
EV Charger Installers
Marketing for electricians offering electric vehicle charger installation. A new and rapidly growing sub-specialty with customers actively searching for local installers.
What We Build for Electricians
A fast, mobile-responsive WordPress website with click-to-call on every page. Electrical customers search on their phones, often because something has stopped working. If your site loads slowly or the number is hard to find, the call goes elsewhere.
Service pages for every type of electrical work you offer. Each page targets the keywords customers search: “switchboard upgrade Sydney,” “smoke alarm installation near me,” “EV charger installer [suburb].” Generic pages that list everything in one block don’t rank for anything specific.
Service area pages covering the suburbs you actually work in. Google needs geographic signals to show you in local results. Suburb-level pages tell both Google and your customers where you operate.
A Google Business Profile that’s complete, active, and working for you. Correct categories, full service descriptions, regular posts, photos of completed work. For many electrical businesses, this is where the fastest improvements come from.
Before-and-after project galleries for switchboard upgrades, lighting installations, solar systems, and other visual work. Easy to update: take photos on site, send them through, and they’re on your site.
Review generation systems that make it easy for satisfied customers to leave Google reviews. Not pushy. Just a simple follow-up that captures the reviews your work deserves.
Call tracking so you know exactly which marketing channel generated each phone call. Real data, not assumptions.
NSW Fair Trading electrical licence details prominently displayed. Your credentials are an asset. We make sure they’re visible.

Results for Electrical Businesses
The dynamics for electrical businesses mirror what we see across trades: businesses that commit to a coordinated marketing system see call volume increases within the first 60 to 90 days, particularly from Google Business Profile improvements and local SEO.
Electricians with strong after-hours visibility often see the fastest returns, because emergency electrical searches have immediate intent and the competition for properly optimised after-hours presence is thinner than you’d expect. The longer game is compounding SEO, a growing review base, and an expanding content library that captures more searches month after month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our WordPress Quick Launch package is $3,499 setup then $249 per month, delivering a complete, professional electrical website in seven business days. For electricians who also want active marketing (SEO, ads, social, reputation management), our AI Marketing Essentials package is $1,499 setup then $549 per month.
Not necessarily. We audit your current site as part of the Digital Snapshot. If it’s on WordPress with a sound foundation, we can improve it through performance optimisation, on-page SEO, and content updates. If it’s on a platform with fundamental limitations, or if the site has accumulated so much technical debt that fixing it costs more than rebuilding, we’ll recommend a rebuild and be transparent about why.
Local SEO is the primary answer. A complete and active Google Business Profile, accurate business listings across directories, genuine Google reviews, and location-specific content on your website are the signals Google uses for local rankings. Google Ads provide immediate visibility while organic rankings build. We use both together for most electrical businesses.
Absolutely. If you hold an Authorised Service Provider (Level 2 ASP) accreditation, it’s a significant differentiator. Level 2 ASP work (service line connections, disconnections, metering) is a specialist capability that many electricians don’t hold. We feature it prominently on your website, in your Google Business Profile, and in your advertising. It targets a distinct search market with less competition.
For most electrical businesses in Sydney, yes. Electrical keywords have strong commercial intent, and properly structured campaigns with conversion tracking consistently generate calls at a measurable cost. The key is campaign structure: targeted keywords, negative keyword lists to block irrelevant traffic, dedicated landing pages, and tracking that shows which calls came from which ads.
Yes. Our primary focus is Sydney and greater NSW, but the approach works nationally. We tailor local SEO, keyword targeting, and geographic strategy to your specific market. The tools and methods are the same. The competitive landscape and location targeting change.
