Cardiff: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Capital of Wales, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff Bay regeneration, Senedd (Welsh Parliament). For electricians that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. South Wales maritime climate; mild and wet, prone to flooding near the River Taff. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Cardiff's electricians typically pick up calls from Canton, Whitchurch, Riverside and the wider CF postcode area. The most common electrician jobs in Cardiff are rewiring and fuse board upgrades. The pattern of call volume in Cardiff tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Electricians in Cardiff get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The electrician listings ranking above them in Cardiff have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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 Cardiff, 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: lighting installation and fuse board upgrades, with rewiring 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.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Across the electricians we have spoken to in Cardiff, the same pattern keeps coming up. The electricians ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Cardiff get most of the calls. Word of mouth still works, but it's slower than it used to be. The fastest-growing local businesses are the ones combining word of mouth with showing up on Google. Owners who rely on referrals alone are going backwards.
Real Clients We Already Run
For electricians working Cardiff, the picture looks like this. Most electricians in Cardiff are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
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.
What It Costs
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.
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?
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.
