What you actually get
WHAT IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN OUR GOOGLE ADS FOR ELECTRICIANS?
No set-and-forget campaigns. Here is exactly what we build to fill your job calendar.
Electrician-Specific Keyword Targeting
"Electrician near me", "emergency electrician [city]", "registered electrician NZ", "switchboard upgrade", "EV charger installation NZ". Commercial and emergency intent only. No DIY or informational keywords bleeding your budget.
Negative Keyword Hygiene
"Electrician apprenticeship NZ", "how to wire a plug yourself", "electrician salary NZ" — these clicks waste budget. Comprehensive negative keyword lists built before launch.
Urgency and Trust Ad Copy
"Available Now — Emergency Electrician", "Registered Electrical Inspector", "Same-Day Residential Jobs", "Commercial Electrical Contractors NZ". Written to trigger immediate calls from homeowners and businesses who need help now.
Emergency + Planned Campaign Structure
Separate campaigns for emergency callouts (higher bids, urgency copy) and planned residential and commercial work (trust-focused copy, quote-request conversion).
Conversion Tracking
Every phone call, quote request, and form submission tracked to the specific keyword and ad. You see exactly which campaigns produce jobs and at what cost.
A/B Testing + Monthly Reporting
Ads and landing pages tested continuously. Monthly reports tied to job enquiries and estimated revenue — not clicks and impressions.

FAQ
Questions about electrician Google Ads we get asked a lot
Is Google Ads worth it for an independent electrician?+
Yes. An electrical job is worth $200 to $5,000+. A campaign that costs $30 to $60 per lead is a strong return. Emergency callouts are even higher value and Google Ads is the fastest way to capture them the moment they happen.
How quickly will Google Ads produce job enquiries?+
Hours to days from launch. Emergency electrical searches convert almost immediately. When your ad appears at the top of an emergency electrical search and the landing page builds instant trust, homeowners call within minutes.
What budget do I need for Google Ads as an electrician?+
It depends on your service area, job types, and volume targets. We give a specific, honest budget recommendation based on your situation. Book a free audit for a realistic number.
Can Google Ads help me get more commercial electrical work?+
Yes. We build separate commercial campaigns targeting property managers, businesses, and commercial developers — with different keywords and copy than residential campaigns. Commercial electrical work typically has higher job values and longer engagements.
Should I run Google Ads or SEO first as an electrician?+
Google Ads produces job enquiries immediately, including emergency callouts. SEO builds long-term organic authority over 3 to 6 months. Both together give you emergency coverage from day one and long-term cost reduction as organic rankings grow.
