Why This Playbook Matters

Marketing isn’t just about getting your name out—it’s about attracting the right customers at the right time with the right message.
With 82% of consumers researching online before hiring a service provider, your content strategy directly impacts your ability to win new customers.


But many electricians fail because they:

  • Believe they don’t need to post at all

  • Post randomly without a clear goal

  • Don’t understand what type of content actually drives leads

  • Aren’t consistent, leading to low engagement and missed opportunities


This playbook eliminates the guesswork and provides a clear roadmap to creating content that:

✅ Builds trust and credibility
✅ Attracts high-value leads
✅ Turns social media engagement into booked jobs
✅ Leverages automation to save time while growing your brand


What You'll Learn

  • The best content types for electricians and how to use them effectively

  • Which platforms to focus on and what type of content performs best on each

  • How to tie content strategy to lead generation and customer retention

  • How to use metrics to track performance and improve over time

  • How the platform automates content creation, scheduling, and engagement for efficient execution

  • How to include offline content (pamphlets, hoardings, newsletters) to enhance your reach
