What we set out to do

Approved Electrix wanted more of the people searching for an electrician in Melbourne to find them and get in touch. That meant ranking for the searches people make when they are close to booking a job, and showing up in new suburbs the business wanted to work in.

Our approach

We worked on the existing website rather than starting again, reorganising the content so it was easier to use and easier to act on, especially on a phone. New pages for each new service area widened where Approved Electrix appeared in local results, and ongoing work on the Google Business Profile lifted their visibility in the map results month after month.

Behind that, our technical team tidied up the site’s structure, made it easier for Google to crawl, and improved the page titles, internal links and structured data. Banners and landing pages were redesigned with clearer calls to action and faster load times, and a digital PR campaign earned links and mentions from relevant publications to build the site’s authority.

The delivery

Six pieces of work, running together

None of these six would have done much on its own. Pages for new suburbs need a site Google can crawl, a fast site needs authority behind it to outrank anyone, and more visitors only matter if the page makes it easy to get in touch. So they ran as one programme.

Website structure

The existing site reorganised so the content is easier to use and easier to act on, with a particular focus on phones.
