Google Ads for Electricians
Electrical searches range from “outlet sparking” to “EV charger installation quote.” The first needs a licensed electrician on the phone now; the second is a project the homeowner will compare. Netembark runs them separately so both pay off.
Short answer: Electricians get the most leads by running Local Services Ads with Search campaigns split into safety and repair calls versus panel, EV charger, and generator projects, with job-seeker searches blocked and calls tracked to booked jobs. On average, Netembark’s paid ad campaigns generate a 12–16% conversion rate, counting phone calls, form submissions, and booked consultations.
How do electricians get leads from Google Ads?
Campaigns by urgency and project type.
| Campaign | Example searches (illustrative) |
|---|---|
| Safety and repair | “outlet sparking,” “half house no power” |
| Panel upgrades | “200 amp panel upgrade,” “replace fuse box” |
| EV chargers | “EV charger installation,” “Level 2 charger installer” |
| Generators | “whole home generator installation” |

What should electricians leave out of ads?
Expired federal tax credits and job-seeker traffic.
The IRS says the 30C EV charger and 25C credits have ended, so ads shouldn’t promise them. “Electrician” also draws job seekers and students, so we block jobs, apprentice, and school searches.

Frequently asked questions
How can an electrician get more leads from Google?
Run Local Services Ads plus Search campaigns for safety calls, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and generators, block job-seeker searches, and track calls through to booked jobs.
Can electricians use Google Local Services Ads?
Yes. Electricians is a US Local Services category. Google treats it as urgent and adds technician background checks. Netembark manages the setup and account.
Should electricians separate emergency and project campaigns?
Yes. Safety calls need phone-first ads and a tight radius. Panel, EV charger, and generator projects need estimate-focused pages and their own budgets.
Can electricians advertise the federal EV charger tax credit?
No. The IRS says the 30C credit doesn’t apply to property placed in service after June 30, 2026, and the 25C credit ended after 2025.
What negative keywords do electricians need?
Block electrician job, apprentice, and school searches, DIY wiring searches, utility outage and bill searches, and retail parts searches.
How should electricians handle power outages in Google Ads?
Expect searches from people whose whole street is out. Ads that suggest checking whether neighbors have power cut calls you can’t fix, and generator campaigns can follow storms.
Does Performance Max work for electricians?
It can, once calls and booked projects are tracked. Netembark adds it after Search and Local Services Ads are running well.
How long does it take to get leads from Google Ads as an electrician?
Search ads and Local Services Ads can start producing calls within days of going live, once ads are approved. Results improve over the following weeks as negative keywords, schedules, and bids are tuned and booked-job data flows back into Google Ads.
