Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from electricians in Canterbury every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Brilliant sparky with barely any online reviews
Your customers are happy, but they're not leaving reviews. Meanwhile, the electrician with 70 five-star reviews gets every call — even though your work is just as good.
Customers calling someone else first
When someone needs a rewire or a new consumer unit, they Google it and call the first electrician they find. If your online presence is weak, that's never going to be you.
No website or an outdated one
A dodgy-looking website — or no website at all — makes people wonder if you're a proper business. First impressions happen online now, before you ever pick up the phone.
Your website doesn't show you're a proper business
No photos of your work, no accreditations, no reviews visible. Homeowners want proof you're legitimate before they let you into their home to work on their electrics.
