How People Search for Sparks

Electrical work ranges from emergencies to large projects. A power cut at 10pm is a very different search than a rewire quote. Your website must handle both.

Emergency (High Urgency)
"emergency electrician near me"
"power cut repair"
"electrical fault [town]"
"no power in house"
Projects (Research Intent)
"house rewire cost"
"consumer unit replacement"
"electrician for extension"
"ev charger installation"
The Opportunity

You get both emergency and project calls. A rewire is £3-5K. An EV charger is £800+. Build pages for both types.

Show Your Badges

What customers check first

Electrical work is regulated. Dodgy work can start fires. Customers know this. So your badges must be front and center.

NICEIC / NAPIT / ELECSA

Registered competent person scheme. Display prominently in header and on every page.

Part P Compliant

Building regulations compliance. Customers with mortgage lenders need this.

Public Liability

Insurance cover. Essential for domestic and commercial work.

Where to Display Credentials:
Header/nav bar (logo + registration number)
Hero section badges
About page with ID card photo
Footer with full details
Every service page
Link to scheme lookup

Area Targeting

Rank in every town you cover

"Electrician near me" is hard to rank for. "Electrician in Lichfield" is wide open. Most rivals skip area pages. You shouldn't.
