Lead generation
Lead Generation for Electricians in South Africa
Enquiries that come to you alone, answered while the customer waits.
Last updated
Social Agencies runs lead generation for electricians across South Africa. It covers your Google Business Profile, local search pages for CoC, fault and solar work, Facebook and Instagram ads to your own site, and follow-up that puts every enquiry on your phone, so the leads are yours alone.
How it runs
How do electricians get their own enquiries?
Four parts that work together, each one handing over to the next.
- 1
Be found
A complete Google Business Profile and a page for each job, by suburb.
- 2
Be seen
Facebook and Instagram ads showing real work, sent to your own site.
- 3
Answer fast
Every enquiry lands on your phone the moment it arrives.
- 4
Quote fast
The quote goes out while the customer is still deciding.
Shared leads
Lead marketplace versus your own enquiries
| Marketplace lead | Your own enquiry | |
|---|---|---|
| Who else gets it | Often several other electricians | Nobody else |
| What you compete on | Speed and the lowest price | Your work and your reviews |
| What you keep when you stop | Nothing | Reviews, rankings and the customer list |
The map
The map results are drawn from your Google Business Profile
Social Agencies sets the categories, service areas, hours, photos and registration properly, then keeps the profile active.
A review request goes to the customer when the job is signed off, while they are happy, so recent reviews keep arriving.
Reporting
What came in, and where from
Each month you see what was spent and which channel every enquiry came from, so you know which part is working.
Where it fits, Social Agencies can add Google search campaigns alongside the Meta ads. Nobody can honestly promise a number of leads before the ads have run.
The Social Agencies method
How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01
Discover
A short call about your business, where enquiries come from today and where they get lost.
- 02
Plan and quote
A written plan and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 03
Build
You get a live preview link from early on and watch it take shape, instead of waiting for a reveal.
- 04
Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.
Frequently asked questions
How long does lead generation take to work for an electrician?
Ads can bring enquiries within days of going live. Google Business Profile fixes can show within weeks, and local search pages build over months. Social Agencies reports what came in and where from, so you can see which part is working.
Who owns the Google Business Profile?
You do. It sits under your business with you as the owner, and Social Agencies is given access. Removing that access leaves the profile, photos and reviews intact.
Who pays for the ads?
The ad budget is paid straight to Meta from your own account, so you always see what was spent. Social Agencies charges separately for running the ads.
Why does solar work deserve its own marketing?
Solar, inverter and battery installs are higher-value jobs with their own compliance steps, and homeowners search for them separately. Pages and ads that explain the paperwork attract homeowners who want a registered contractor.
What if I am already turning work away?
Then more leads are not the answer. Social Agencies will tell you so and point you to the quoting software, because a busy electrician usually loses money in admin, not in enquiries.
