Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from electricians in Workington every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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No website or an outdated one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.
Rewires and fuse board upgrades going to someone else
The big jobs — full rewires, consumer unit upgrades — go to whoever the homeowner finds first online. If that's not you, you're missing out on thousands every month.
