Step by step

How to rank as an electrician: 7 steps

You can start most of this yourself. It is the same plan we follow for electrical clients.

  1. Complete your Google Business Profile

    Main category “Electrician”, your service area and hours, each service listed, and photos of real jobs: consumer units, rewires, chargers.

  2. Give each service its own page

    EICRs, EV chargers, consumer units, rewiring, fault finding and call-outs each need a page with prices “from” and what the job involves.

  3. Win landlords with an EICR page

    Private landlords in England need an electrical safety check at least every five years. A clear page with a price and turnaround brings repeat work.

  4. Show the trust signals people check

    NICEIC or NAPIT registration, Part P notification, insurance and any EV charger installer approvals, on every relevant page.

  5. Ask for a review after every job

    Send your Google review link by text the same day, and reply to every review.

  6. Use the same details everywhere

    List your business on Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Rated People, Yell, Bing Places and Apple Business Connect, matching your Google profile exactly.

  7. Make it easy to book

    Tap-to-call, fast mobile pages and a short quote form. For chargers and rewires, ask for postcode and property type to save wasted visits.

Emergencies need speed. “Emergency electrician” searches are urgent, and the first business shown usually gets the call. A small Google Ads campaign can cover them while your rankings grow.

FAQ

Questions trades ask us

How long does SEO take for a trade business?

Technical fixes and a better Google Business Profile can show within weeks. Steady growth in rankings and calls usually takes three to six months, depending on your area, your competitors and where your website starts.

Which services should an electrician build pages for first?

Start with the jobs that are searched most and pay best for you. In Ahrefs’ UK data, EICR certificates (18,000 searches a month) and EV charger installation (15,000) are the largest service searches after “electrician near me”, and both are easier to win with a dedicated page than the general term.

Do I need a new website?

Not always. We work with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify and custom sites. The free SEO audit shows whether your current site can rank or is holding you back.

Is there a minimum contract?

Not for SEO or Google Ads: they run month to month with 31 days’ notice. Websites have a 12-month first term because we design and build the site at the start; after that they run monthly. The website belongs to SEORAPID while you are on the plan, unless you buy it out at the price in your quote.

Can you guarantee I will be first on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings. What we promise is clear work every month: the fixes, pages, listings and reviews that make you a stronger choice, and a plain-English report with your rankings, calls and enquiries.
