Google Ads Management for UK Electrical Contractors.
Stop bidding on low-value £30 socket swaps and battling tire-kickers on Checkatrade. We build and manage high-intent Google Search campaigns engineered specifically to capture £1,500–£8,000 consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installations, and full house rewires from homeowners and commercial property managers ready to hire.
Why 80% of Electricians Burn Cash on Google Ads.
Most digital agencies have never set foot on a construction site or wired a consumer unit. They use broad-match keywords, send traffic to an unoptimised generic homepage, and leave you paying for clicks from DIYers trying to fix their own tripping breaker.
The Broad Match Trap
Generalist agencies target broad terms like "electrician". Google matches this to "how to change a fusebox yourself", "Screwfix double socket", or "electrician apprentice wage", draining your budget with zero leads.
Generic Homepages That Don't Convert
Paid clicks are sent to a slow WordPress template with 15 menu links and no clear phone button. Visitors get overwhelmed, hit the back button in 4 seconds, and click your competitor instead.
Zero Conversion or Call Tracking
Agencies report on "impressions" and "clicks" instead of actual booked jobs. You have no idea which keywords generated phone calls, and Google's bidding algorithm never learns which clicks turn into £2,000 invoices.
The High-Margin Electrical Work We Target.
Our search campaigns are engineered around specific, high-ticket services where homeowners and landlords are actively searching with emergency or project intent.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades
Targeting homeowners with outdated re-wirable or non-compliant boards needing 18th Edition metal units, RCBOs, and Surge Protection (SPD).
EV Charger Supply & Installation
Capturing affluent electric vehicle owners seeking OZEW-approved, tethered, or smart home EV charger setups with DNO notifications handled.
Full & Partial House Rewires
Attracting property buyers, renovation investors, and landlords undertaking major refurbishments who need certified electrical complete overhauls.
Commercial EICR & Landlord Packs
Capturing letting agents, property management companies, and commercial premises requiring mandatory 5-year electrical installation condition reports.

Frequently Asked Questions About Google Ads for Electricians.
Most single-van electrical contractors start with a testing ad spend budget of £400 to £800 per month. At an average qualified conversion cost of £25 to £35, this yields 15 to 25 genuine job inquiries per month. Landing just one consumer unit replacement or EV charger pays back the entire month’s ad spend.
Unlike SEO which takes 3 to 6 months to rank, Google Ads place you at the very top of Google on day one. Once our high-converting landing page and tracking systems go live (typically within 7 business days), phone calls and quote forms typically land within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes, absolutely. We believe contractors should own their digital assets. Everything is built inside your own dedicated Google Ads account. If you ever decide to pause or move on, all historical data, negative keyword lists, and campaign structures remain completely yours.
We use an extensive 800+ negative keyword blocklist. We block search queries like "DIY switch fix", "how to replace breaker", "Screwfix", "cheap socket repair", and "apprentice salary". In addition, our landing page makes it crystal clear that you are an accredited master contractor providing premium, certified work.
Yes. We set granular radius boundaries and postcode-level bid adjustments around affluent neighbourhoods, new housing developments, and high-value suburban belts where homeowners have the disposable income for £1,000+ EV chargers and £3,000+ full rewires.
