TABLE OF CONTENTS



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.
