Digital marketing for electricians

Service calls are eating your install budget

One blended cost per lead makes a month of small troubleshooting jobs look like a triumph while the panel, charger, and generator pipeline quietly empties out.

Why blended reporting misleads electrical contractors

Two businesses, one number, wrong conclusion

An electrical contractor sells two products that share nothing but a license. One is a service call: a dead outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping, two hours and a modest ticket. The other is an install: a panel, a service change, a charger, a generator, priced in thousands and decided over weeks.

Run both through one campaign and one report and the arithmetic starts lying. Service calls are cheaper to win and they convert faster, so they dominate every average. Cost per lead drops, the summary looks healthy, and nobody spots that install requests have been sliding for two quarters.

We keep them apart at every layer: campaigns, landing paths, phone numbers, and reporting. Two budgets, two cost-per-job figures, two conversations. That is the difference between knowing the phone rang and knowing which half of the business is growing.

Terms and outcomes

What splitting the reporting changes

One accountable team, one invoice, and two sets of numbers that never get averaged into each other.

  • In-house, not outsourced

    The team building the site is the team inside the ad accounts. Nothing is handed down to a reseller whose name you would not recognize.

  • Flat fee at any budget

    No % of ad spend. Ever. Move ten thousand dollars into install campaigns and what you pay us reads exactly as it did last month.

  • Attribution to the signed install

    Calls and forms followed through to the signed job and split by type, so a strong month of troubleshooting cannot disguise a weak quarter of panels.

  • One electrical company per county

    Guaranteed geo & market exclusivity. The contractor quoting against you next week does not get this built for them too.

  • Accounts in your name

    Domain, hosting, analytics, ad accounts, and call recordings sit in your ownership from the first week and stay there afterwards.

  • No contracts

    Month to month, always. If the install pipeline is not growing you should be free to walk, and we should be motivated to stop you.

What is included

Six programs, two sets of numbers

Everything runs together, but service work and install work are funded apart and judged apart.

Conversion website

Separate routes from the first screen, so a homeowner with a dead outlet and a homeowner pricing a service change never land in the same place. From $5,000.

  • Per-service pages
  • Quote request flows
  • Speed budget

Local SEO

Position across the radius built on profile accuracy, community pages, and review flow, with install terms tracked apart from service terms.

  • Google Business Profile
  • Service area pages
  • Technical fixes

Paid search and paid social

Google, Bing, and Meta with click-fraud protection, and a hard budget wall between panel work and outlet work so neither can borrow from the other.

  • Install campaigns
  • Remarketing
  • Fraud protection

Reviews and reputation

Steady requests and genuine replies. In a licensed trade the review page is where a homeowner decides whether it is safe to let you inside.

  • Review requests
  • Response management

Install funnels

Dedicated paths for panels, chargers, and generators, with financing framing and follow-up sized to a decision that takes weeks rather than minutes.

  • Quote landing pages
  • Follow-up sequences

Tracking and reporting

Recorded calls and attributed forms summarized each week as signed installs and as service tickets, never merged into a single figure.

  • Call tracking
  • Weekly reporting

The process

How we split the two businesses apart

Start from what each job type is worth, because the split means nothing until the numbers behind it are real.

  1. 01 /

    Value the two lines

    Average ticket, close rate, and gross margin for service work and for install work separately. Most contractors have never seen the second set written down.

  2. 02 /

    Recover the accounts

    Ad accounts, analytics, domain, and profile moved into your name. Prying an account away from a former supplier is ordinary work around here.

  3. 03 /

    Split the paths

    Separate campaigns, separate landing pages, and separate tracking numbers, so the reporting has something honest to measure from the first week.

  4. 04 /

    Fund from the split

    Weekly numbers on each line, with budget moved deliberately between them instead of drifting toward whichever happens to be cheapest to win.

  1. The problem

    A production company running more than 30 large events a year whose growth kept catching on an unpredictable pipeline. Not electrical work, but the identical structural trap: long, expensive projects are easy to under-fund because the small jobs always look more efficient on a report.

  2. What we did

    ROI Vault rebuilt the marketing around the project pipeline itself rather than around whichever campaign happened to look good that week, keeping the large work flowing while operations stayed on delivery.

  3. The outcome

    The company reports breaking its own records repeatedly and reaching the Inc. lists three years running. The parallel for an electrical contractor is exact: protect the budget for the long, expensive work and it keeps arriving, because nothing else in the account will protect it for you.

FAQ

Questions electrical owners ask about the split

Give install work its own campaigns, its own budget, and its own report. Left in one account the system optimizes toward whatever converts most cheaply, and that is always the outlet repair. A wall between the two is the only reliable fix.
