It might be the single most important thing on the site. 92% of homeowners verify licensing before hiring an electrician, because they're trusting you with their home's safety. Your license number, insurance, and bonding should be visible on every page. It's also the one thing unlicensed competitors can't fake.

Yes. It's the fastest-growing search in residential electrical, and the people searching just bought a car and need this done now. A page with brand compatibility, the permit process, and pricing catches $1,500-$3,000 jobs that a generic 'electrical services' page never will.
