Working Southampton as an electrician
Pretty much every electrician call in Southampton starts the same way: someone in Highfield or Bitterne needs help with faulty sockets or fuse board upgrades, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Across the SO postcode area in Southampton, electricians mostly handle lighting installation and faulty sockets. The neighbourhoods we see most electrician calls from in Southampton are Woolston, Freemantle and Bassett.
What We Do
For electricians working Southampton, the picture looks like this. Most electricians in Southampton are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
For electricians in Southampton, the search terms that matter are not "electrician" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "faulty sockets" and "fuse board upgrades". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the electrician pages of your site.
If you cover fuse board upgrades and lighting installation as an electrician, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Electricians who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Electricians Lose Calls Around Here
For electricians covering Southampton, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The electrician customers in Southampton Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
Real Clients We Already Run
Here is what we tell electricians working Southampton and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for electrician searches in Southampton is decided by the things most electricians never touch. Seven clients across plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. Spread across Pontyclun, Nottingham, Liverpool, Battle, Staines, Blackpool and Cheshunt. None of them were promised the moon. All of them are still here.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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.

Right then, the money. £199 setup (covers your website, yours to keep), £199 a month for management. Less than £6.70 a day. One rewire pays for over a year. Three months, then you decide.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
What do you actually do every month?
We sort your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when locals search. We build you a website that loads fast on a phone. We get reviews coming in automatically after every job. We text customers back when you miss a call. And we send you a monthly report that shows what changed.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
