Electrician in Los Angeles – Local SEO Portfolio

How a free SEO audit and monthly Local SEO campaign turned low visibility into consistent daily leads

🏆 Service: Free Website Audit + Monthly Local SEO Campaign 🏢 Client: Individual 📍 Location: Los Angeles

Project Overview

This project began with a free SEO audit. The client, an experienced electrician in Los Angeles, was struggling to get calls despite having refined skills and competitive pricing. His website was practically invisible on Google, buried under pages of competitors.

The goal was straightforward: identify the SEO issues holding him back, improve local rankings through a structured monthly campaign, and increase client inquiries to generate a steady stream of work.

Client Goal

Identify SEO issues, improve local rankings, and increase client inquiries.

Target Consistent Leads

Step 1: Free SEO Audit Findings

We started by diving deep into the website's performance and local presence. The findings revealed several critical gaps.

  • Missing location-specific keywords
  • Unoptimized Google Business Profile
  • Duplicate meta tags and inconsistent internal links
  • Slow-loading site with outdated plugins
  • No backlinks or local citations

These insights became the foundation for a structured, month-by-month Local SEO plan.
