Google Ads for Electricians

Google is the best search engine to run advertisements on. Here is the great thing about running a google ad campaign – you are in complete control. You get to set keywords for your ads. Keywords are terms that when searched, you would want your business/ad to show up for. You are going to want to check out how often terms are searched, and how competitive it is to show up for that keyword. A great site to check all that out on is SEORush. This site will be able to enhance your search engine optimization (also known as local SEO).

Once you have your keywords you will want to write your advertisement, set where you want it to show up, and have a landing page on your website that your advertisement will take customers to. The landing page should be simple, informative, and most importantly have a place for them to fill out their information so that your business can contact them. Be aware that this is a pay per click form of advertising. Meaning, you will not pay to be on someones google search, you will only pay if they click on your advertisement.

You may be wondering: why should I use Google ads? Let us break it down:

  • Your business shows up when someone is ACTIVELY looking for a keyword you believe is important to link them to your business.
  • It is a necessary evil to advertise – google ads allow your target market to be more specific than other advertising methods (specifically advertise service area).
  • It is the only way to keep up with your competitors – because I am sure they are advertising on google.

Remember that if you have any questions about google ads (because we know how difficult they can be), we are happy to help! You can always reach out to us at any step through the process, or download our lead generation strategy guide since it offers a lot more concrete information.

Facebook Ads for Electricians

Facebook ads are a completely different battle than google ads – but still necessary. Facebook advertisements may not generate as many conversions as google ads, but they create brand awareness. This can be JUST as important.

With facebook ads you do not set keywords, but you set areas of interest. This could be homeowners, age, and many other things. In this you are not thinking about what your potential customers would be searching, you are thinking about who your potential customers are. This would be your target market that you are trying to pin down. Facebook is still a great place to advertise because 79% of the population has a facebook, and of that percentage 70% are active daily.

Why should you use Facebook ads? Lets break it down:

  • Creates brand awareness – even if they do not need an electrician right now, when they do they will think of your company.
  • Can still create conversions – although the chances are that the conversions won’t be as high as Google ads… Leads are still leads!
  • Social media has the ability to track down your target market.

Remember that if you have any questions about facebook ads (because we know how difficult they can be), we are happy to help! You can always reach out to us at any step through the process, or download our lead generation strategy guide since it offers a lot more concrete information.
