What Was Holding Them Back
This electrical contractor had recently launched a new website but was generating virtually no organic traffic. Despite being an experienced, reliable business, they were invisible online.
For a trades business, being absent from local search is a significant competitive disadvantage. Customers searching for an electrician are ready to hire immediately.
The challenge was not just ranking in organic results, but specifically breaking into the map pack, where the majority of local search clicks go.
