For electrical contractors and solar installers
Websites for Electricians in South Africa
Registration up front, found for every job, quoted before you leave site.
Last updated
Built for
Social Agencies builds websites for electricians and electrical contractors across South Africa. Your DoEL and ECB registration sits on every page, CoC, fault and solar work each get a page that can be found, and every enquiry lands on your phone. We add quoting and job software, so the quote leaves site with you.
What we build for electricians
A website, the software behind it, and the leads to fill it
Three parts that work alone or together, built by one team for how electricians actually work.
- Electrician websites A fast, hand-built site that shows your registration and turns visitors into calls. See how it works
-
Quoting and job software Quote on site, turn it into an invoice without retyping, and see who owes you. See how it works -
Lead generation for electricians Local search, your Google Business Profile, ads and fast follow-up, so the enquiries are yours. See how it works
Sound familiar?
Where electrical work leaks away
Four things electricians tell us on the first call, almost word for word.
-
Work arrives by word of mouth, or not at all
Referrals are the best jobs you get, but they do not arrive on a schedule. When they stop, there is nothing behind them to keep the diary full.
-
Paying for leads other electricians also got
Lead sites often sell one enquiry to several contractors. The job goes to whoever phones first and prices lowest, which is rarely the best electrician.
-
Quotes typed at 9pm
The site visit is done by lunch, but the quote waits for the evening, rebuilt from photos and notes. By the time it goes out, the customer has had two others.
-
Chasing money for finished work
The board is in, the CoC is issued, and the invoice is still on the passenger seat. Chasing payment becomes a memory exercise instead of a list.
Being chosen
How do customers choose an electrician online?
South African homeowners are told to ask for a registration number before they hire. They compare a few names in seconds: registration, recent reviews, photos of real work and a way to reach someone now.
Social Agencies puts all four on the first screen of your site, so the question is answered before a competitor gets the chance.
- DoEL and ECB registration in the header of every page
- A page for CoCs on a property sale, searched by suburb
- One tap to call for a fault, a short form for planned work
In build
Electro-Spark: a 38-page site for an electrical contractor and solar installer.
Social Agencies is building Electro-Spark a site with a page for every service and every area it covers, so each job homeowners search for has somewhere to land. The site is in its final build stage, and the owner reports more calls.

What you get
What does Social Agencies build for an electrician?
Three parts, built by one team to work together. Start with the one that hurts most, or take all three.
-
Part 1
The electrician website
A hand-coded site that shows a homeowner you are registered, and makes calling you one tap.
- DoEL and ECB registration in the header of every page
- A page each for CoCs, fault finding, DB board upgrades and solar
- Tap to call for a fault, a short form for planned work
- Domain, hosting and lead list in your name
-
Part 2
The quoting and job software (BlitzBooks)
Our own quoting and invoicing app for South African trades, run from the phone in your bakkie.
- Quotes sent from site with your logo
- Callout fee, labour and the CoC as separate lines
- Job cards and a schedule for the whole team
- Invoices raised from the accepted quote
-
Part 3
The leads (Google Maps and Meta ads)
Enquiries that come to you alone, not a lead sold to several other electricians.
- Google Business Profile set up and kept current
- Facebook and Instagram ads showing your own installs
- Aimed at the suburbs you want to work in
- Your ad budget paid directly to Meta
One team. One system. One monthly partner. Built, run and improved by Social Agencies.
Book a callFrom the phone
Jobs, quotes and compliance certificates from the bakkie
Job cards record what was done on site, and the CoC goes on the quote and invoice as its own line. The accepted quote becomes the invoice without a line being retyped.
Unpaid invoices sit on one list, so chasing money is a task you work through, not something you try to remember.
- Quote built during the site visit
- CoC priced as a line item
- Job cards and a schedule for the whole team
Our own software
BlitzBooks: quoting and invoicing for South African trades, live and in daily use.
Social Agencies built and runs BlitzBooks. Quotes, invoices, job cards and a list of who still owes you, on the phone you already carry to every job.
Solar and backup power
Be the registered name found for solar and backup power
Solar, inverter and battery installs are the higher-value jobs, and homeowners search for them separately from general electrical work.
In Cape Town, a new solar or battery system needs City authorisation before switch-on, with the CoC uploaded. A page that explains that paperwork tells the homeowner to hire a registered contractor, not a handyman.
- A dedicated solar and backup power page
- The compliance steps explained in plain words
- Photos of your own installs, labelled with what was done
Why us
Why do electricians choose Social Agencies?
- 01
Registration where homeowners look
Your DoEL registration and ECB listing sit in the header of every page, not on an About page. A seller who needs a CoC checks for exactly that before phoning.
- 02
Two front doors, faults and quotes
Someone with no power wants to call now. Someone planning a board upgrade wants to send details. Each site Social Agencies builds gives both a clear path from the first screen.
- 03
A page for every job people search
CoCs, fault finding, board upgrades, solar and backup power each get their own page, by suburb where it matters, because homeowners search for the job, not for an electrician in general.
- 04
Enquiries that are yours alone
Social Agencies builds your own channels: the Google Business Profile, your site and Facebook and Instagram ads. Nobody else is phoning that customer, so the conversation is about the job, not the price.
- 05
The quote leaves site with you
BlitzBooks, the quoting app Social Agencies built for South African trades, sends a branded quote from your phone during the visit and turns it into an invoice when it is accepted.
The machine
From an ad to a finished job, without retyping anything
Social Agencies runs the four steps as one system, so nothing is lost between apps.
- 1
The ad
Facebook and Instagram ads show your real work to homeowners in the suburbs you cover.
- 2
The enquiry
Every call, form and WhatsApp lands in one inbox and on your phone at once.
- 3
The quote
The quote, CoC included, is built on site and sent before you reach the bakkie.
- 4
The job
The accepted quote becomes a job card, then an invoice when the work is signed off.
No surprises
What you can count on
A fixed quote in writing first
Social Agencies gives you a fixed price in writing after a short call. Nothing is built, and nothing is paid, before you have agreed to it.
You own it all
Your domain, your website, your Google Business Profile and every enquiry are in your business's name from day one. If you ever leave, you keep everything.
Clear terms, no surprises
The monthly terms, including notice, are written into a short agreement you see before anything starts. No hidden exit fees, and you keep everything you own if you leave.
Your ad budget goes straight to Meta
Ad spend is paid directly to Meta on your own card. It never passes through us, so you always see exactly what was spent.

Frequently asked questions
Should my registration number be on my website?
Yes, on every page. Homeowners are told to ask for a DoEL registration number and to check the ECB register before hiring. Showing it up front answers that question before a competitor does.
How much does a website for an electrician cost?
It depends on the number of service and suburb pages, whether you want lead generation running every month and whether you take the quoting software. Social Agencies gives you a fixed price in writing after a short call.
Do I need all three services?
No. The website, the lead generation and the quoting software each work on their own. They work best joined, because an enquiry can become a quote and an invoice without being typed twice, but you can start with one.
How long until the phone rings?
A website is usually live two to three weeks after we have your details and photos. Google Business Profile fixes can show within weeks, while local search pages build over months. Nobody honest can promise you a number of calls.
I am not good with technology. Is this complicated?
No. You review the site on a preview link on your phone and reply by voice note. After launch, changes are a WhatsApp message away, and the quoting app was built for use on site, not at a desk.
Do you work with electricians outside Cape Town?
Yes. Social Agencies is based in Cape Town, and works with electrical businesses across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban. Everything runs over a call, WhatsApp and a preview link.
