More Electrical Calls is an independent site for people who own electrical companies and want a fuller schedule without signing a contract to find out whether the marketing works.
Who writes it
Steve Meitler is the editor. He has spent years running marketing for local service businesses, electrical contractors included, and has watched enough sales calls aimed at trade owners to know what is always missing from them: a number you can verify yourself. Everything here is written so you can check it. Where a guide gives an opinion rather than a measurement, it says so in the sentence.
Where the benchmark numbers come from
The benchmark report is built from public Google Business Profile listings. We run Google Maps searches for electricians in every US state, collect only the public fields on each listing (review count, star rating, linked website, listed hours, primary category, city and state), remove duplicates by Google place, and compute the statistics from what is left. Nothing is taken from behind a login and no reviewer names or personal details are stored. The dataset currently holds 65,890 listings across 51 states and is refreshed monthly.
Two honest caveats. Collection at that scale produces some noise, so treat every figure as good to within a point or two rather than to the decimal. And the category "electrician" on Google catches a few businesses that are really supply houses or utilities, which nudges the counts slightly. Neither changes the shape of the distribution, which is what the report is for.
Editorial rules
- No pay-to-play. Nobody can buy a mention, a recommendation, or a placement on this site.
- Every number is sourced, either to our own dataset or to a primary source such as Google's documentation or a government publication.
- Guides are written for an owner who is in a crawlspace half the day. If a step cannot be done by a busy owner or handed to an office manager, it does not go in.
- Nothing here is code advice. Licensing, permitting and NEC questions belong with your state board and your AHJ, not a marketing site.
- Guides get updated when platforms change, and every update is dated.
How the free trial works
The site is paid for by the marketing work we do for electrical companies. We offer every service as a free 14-day trial because an electrician should watch the phone ring before paying anybody. You text or call, tell us which service you want to try (Google Ads, Meta ads, AI search optimization, local SEO and profile work, a website, social media, review generation, missed-call text-back, email and SMS, bookkeeping, or appointment setting), and we set it up inside your own accounts, usually within 48 hours. It runs 14 days. No card, nothing renews, nothing to cancel. At the end you keep it at the price quoted before it started, switch to a different service, or walk.
