How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for electricians

Electricians get two kinds of work: urgent repairs and planned upgrades. Google Search and Local Services Ads catch the urgent calls, and Facebook and Instagram are well suited to planned work like EV chargers, panel upgrades and pot lights.

Google Search ads

Emergency electrician, panel upgrade and EV charger campaigns, split by job value.

Local Services Ads

A core LSA category across Canada, with licence verification.

Facebook & Instagram ads

EV charger and upgrade offers, and trade partnership ads aimed at renovation contractors.

Everything else

Microsoft Ads for commercial and B2B electrical searches.

Marketing for electricians

Planning marketing for electricians

Electricians get urgent calls from Search and Local Services Ads, and planned project leads from Search, Meta and referrals from contractors and real estate agents. Because job values vary so widely, tracking revenue by channel matters more than lead counts.

Partnerships with renovation contractors, builders and home inspectors can bring steady project work. A small B2B campaign or direct outreach alongside consumer ads often delivers some of the best-value leads.

Revenue by channel

Small jobs and projects tracked separately.

Trade partnerships

Contractors and inspectors as referral sources.

EV growth

Charger demand planned as its own stream.
