No twelve-month contracts · cancel after the third month · website yours forever
Working Reading as an electrician
Major tech hub on the M4 corridor, Reading Festival, home to several major companies. For electricians that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Thames Valley climate; mild and relatively dry, prone to Thames and Kennet flooding. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
In Reading, the catchment for electricians includes Tilehurst, Sonning, Shinfield, and the wider RG area. Calls for rewiring and fuse board upgrades make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
For electricians covering Reading, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The electrician customers in Reading Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For electricians in Reading, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real electrician jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches electricians customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are an electrician, you already know the bread and butter: ev charger installation and fuse board upgrades, with lighting installation when the season turns. Homeowners needing safety upgrades, rewiring older properties, or EV charger installation, which means electricians need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Electricians Lose Calls Around Here
Electricians in Reading get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The electrician listings ranking above them in Reading have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Most owners blame the economy when their phone goes quiet. The actual cause is almost always the same: a competitor with a better Google listing has taken your spot in the local 3-pack. That's it. That's the fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at electricians in Reading who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the electrician keywords Reading customers actually use. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
Review Automation
The reviews bit is fully automated: a text goes out after each job with a direct link to your Google review page. Customers tap once and they are typing the review. About one in three actually leaves one, which is roughly five times the industry average.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One rewire pays for over a year.
What do you actually do every month?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
Do I need to do anything technical?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
