Frequently asked questions
Should I mention emergency call-outs?
Only if you genuinely offer them, with clear availability. Never imply round-the-clock cover you cannot provide.
Do reviews matter for electricians?
Yes. Customers want reassurance about safety and quality, and genuine reviews provide it.
Can marketing guarantee jobs?
No. It improves visibility and trust, but results depend on your area and competition.
