What is an Electrician Landing Page?

An electrician landing page is a specific webpage designed for electricians or electrical service providers to generate leads, showcase their services, and encourage potential customers to take action. 

It’s a targeted and focused webpage that aims to convert visitors into customers by providing relevant information and enticing them to contact or hire an electrician.

While creating a high-converting electrician landing page may look easy in theory, it requires careful planning, strategic implementation, and attention to key elements

Let’s delve into some tips for crafting a high-converting electrician landing page.

Tip #1: Draw Attention With a Compelling Headline

Electrical contractors should use compelling headlines on their landing pages to effectively capture the attention of their target audience and increase the chances of converting visitors into customers. 

Here are several benefits of writing compelling headlines:

  • Grabbing attention: In today’s fast-paced digital world, people—especially active internet users—have limited attention spans. A persuasive headline acts as a powerful hook that instantly grabs the visitor’s attention and entices them to explore further.

  • Communicating value proposition: A well-crafted headline communicates the unique value proposition of your services. It highlights their benefits, solutions, or advantages, making visitors curious to learn more.

  • Enhancing dwell time: Compelling headlines encourages visitors to read the rest of the landing page.

Tip #2: Emit Credibility With Social Proof

According to a survey by BrightLocal, 98% of people read online reviews for local businesses. That's because reviews speak to an electrical technician's ability to deliver exceptional service, having done the same for past customers.

Therefore, an electrician's landing page should include positive reviews from satisfied customers. To further increase the credibility of the review, add the customer’s name and picture to the quote.

However, stellar reviews don’t come automatically. It starts with delivering exceptional services and providing a great customer experience. 

Therefore, electrical contractors must meet and exceed customer expectations by demonstrating professionalism, communicating sufficiently with the customer, and promptly addressing their concerns––or by offering extra services like free tutorials on minimizing energy consumption.

It’s tough.

Fortunately, ServiceTitan's Customer Experience feature helps electricians deliver a positive customer experience by automating key customer-facing tasks.

You can configure automated reply messages to inform customers about technician arrivals, request reviews, and remind customers of scheduled appointments.

This ensures you deliver above-average customer experience and receive stellar reviews.

Additionally, the Customer Experience feature bridges the communication gap between technicians and customers by providing customers with real-time ETAs and brief profiles of their technicians.

This helps customers feel more informed and in control, leading to a better overall customer experience.

Tip #3: Highlight the Benefits of Doing Service With You

To drive a landing page conversion, the copy must address potential customers' objections, highlight what differentiates you from competitors or other electrical service providers, and communicate the value they get by hiring you.

For example, you could reference your discounts, as The Happy Outlet does on its landing page.

Or you could offer up-front pricing and a promise of guaranteed satisfaction, like Mel Carr Electric, to build trust and credibility with potential customers.

Whatever service or benefit you choose to emphasize should align with the needs of your target audience. You wouldn’t want to present a differentiator of no value to potential customers.

Now that you’ve mentioned your electrical services and explained how they differ from those of competitors, the next step is to guide visitors to take action. That’s the job of clear calls to action (CTAs).

Tip #4: Include Clear CTAs

CTAs are key in driving conversions on electrician websites and landing pages. 

They tell visitors what action to take after the copy on your landing page or homepage has convinced them. It could be booking an appointment, requesting a quote, or filling out a contact form.

Two things determine the effectiveness of CTAs:

  • The button’s design

  • The text description

A CTA button has to stand out from surrounding elements so visitors easily see it. Thus, the button’s color should contrast with the rest of the page and be large enough to be seen at a glance.

Also, the button’s text description should align with the goal of the landing page—the action you want the reader to take—to avoid confusion. 

For example, “Contact us now” is perfect if you want the visitor to call you or fill out a contact form.

Here's a perfect example from Express Electrical Services’ website of what a clear CTA looks like:

The red color contrasts perfectly with the white background. The text—Contact Express Now—clearly communicates the next step to the visitor. And enough whitespace surrounds the button to increase its prominence.

The #1 newsletter for the trades.

Tip #5: Use Eye-Catching Visuals

A study on how people remember images reveals people are more likely to recall information when an image or video accompanies it.

This means potential customers are more likely to recall the value proposition of an electrical company if there are visuals on its landing page or company website.

Videos and images also help electrical contractors display their unique selling proposition, showcase their expertise, and form an emotional connection with potential customers.

However, some visual elements work better than others.

In a recent experiment, Medalia—an online art gallery—swapped generic photos for real-life images of its employees. 

The result? Conversion rates soared by 95%.

So, electrical company websites should feature photos of employees, completed projects, and satisfied customers.

Additionally, you can use visuals to illustrate the results of your electrical repair service. Here’s a great example from Express Electrical Services’ website:

The images depict the results they achieved with a satisfied customer. Both ‘after’ pictures tell the potential customer that the electrical company is reliable and trustworthy.

Tip #6: Show Expertise With Accreditations 

Showcasing awards and accreditations is another way to demonstrate expertise and credibility. They prove that you're a reputable electrical company and reassure clients of your adherence to quality standards.

You can include awards from trade associations, industry organizations, government, or safety-related bodies on your landing pages. You could also use web design elements like badges to highlight your accreditations. 

This tells potential customers that you can solve their electrical challenges and provide services of the highest standard.

Tip #7: Write Clear and Easy-to-Read Copy

In this digital age, where attention spans are trending downwards, visitors don’t have the patience to read landing page copy that's difficult to understand.

Instead, they'll bounce, never to return. And even if your offer is great, they won't stick around to find out.

To make your copy clear and easy to read, you should:

  • Break up your text into paragraphs.

  • Use bullet points.

  • Keep sentences short and paragraphs between two and four lines.

  • Use legible font types and sizes.

  • Leave a substantial amount of white space between design elements.

This way, your website design remains clutter-free, making it easy for visitors to understand your message and take action.

To explain better, take a look at a section of Viva Electric's website:

Notice ample whitespace between each text block, the language is easy to understand, and paragraphs don’t exceed three lines.

In addition to boosting readability, clear and easy-to-read copy ensures mobile users have a positive experience when visiting your site.

Tip #8: Optimize Your Page For Mobile

According to recent data from SISTRIX, 64% of web searches are carried out on mobile devices, compared to 35% on desktops.

Therefore, optimizing your landing page design for mobile devices is crucial to ensure visitors have a positive experience, increasing the likelihood of them converting.

When designing your landing page, make sure it is responsive. 

To do so, use responsive design frameworks like Bootstrap and website templates or WordPress themes with mobile-first functionality. This way, the page layout will adjust to fit screens of different sizes, ensuring visitors have a positive experience regardless of their device.

Also, compress all images, minify CSS and JavaScript files, and view a live demo of your HTML landing page on mobile and desktop devices before rolling it out.

Tip #9: Align Your Page With Your Ad

A prospective customer coming from a social media ad or Google ad to your landing page has an expectation spurred by the ad's copy

For example, you promise to give a free electrical estimate for every customer in a social media ad. Someone coming from the ad to your landing page expects a free electrical estimate to be part of the offering on your landing page.

Failing to meet those expectations leaves the visitor confused and disappointed, leading to low conversion and high bounce rates.

Maintaining consistent messaging between your ad and landing page copy is therefore crucial. 

Doing so echoes the promise, benefits, or features mentioned in your marketing campaign that convinced potential customers to visit your landing page in the first place.

Furthermore, the success of your ads hinges on how you measure ad performance. That way, you can identify advertising campaigns that are generating revenue and those that are not.

With ServiceTitan's Marketing Pro Ads feature, electrical companies can track their Google or social ads' performance in real time and attribute each campaign to the jobs they generate.

For example, Streamline Electric faced a significant challenge in monitoring the performance of its marketing campaign. But that disappeared once they started using ServiceTitan’s Marketing Pro Ads platform.

CEO Tim Leonard said, “One thing I love about Marketing Pro is that you can see what the campaigns are doing.”

In particular, ServiceTitan enables you to:

Track the success of your marketing campaigns and have an overview of your Key Performance Indicators from a comprehensive dashboard.

Know the exact ROI of each campaign, by integrating the platform with Google Ads and Google Analytics accounts as a plugin.

This empowers electrical contractors to maximize their marketing budget and continuously optimize campaigns.
