The Challenge
Paying for Shared Leads While Competitors Owned the Map Pack
Nashville Electric Co. had 12 years of residential and commercial electrical experience across Middle Tennessee — but their only source of new business was HomeAdvisor, where they competed against 4-6 other electricians for every shared lead. When homeowners searched directly for "electrician Nashville," they found aggregator pages, not Nashville Electric Co.
No Google Business Profile — invisible to the 1,600+ monthly 'electrician Nashville' searches
9 service call leads/month, all from HomeAdvisor shared leads at $80-$120 each
HomeAdvisor and Angi dominated every electrician keyword in the Nashville metro area
Only 2 Google reviews — homeowners chose services with 50+ reviews over unknown electricians
Losing an estimated $90K–$120K/month in uncaptured work to better-marketed competitors
