Wired Growth had built a solid business through referrals and one-off local projects. But customers weren't coming back. See how they fixed this with strategic email marketing.
Wired Growth had built a solid business through referrals and one-off local projects. But over time, the team realized something was missing—customers weren't coming back. Even highly satisfied clients weren't rebooking for future work like safety inspections, seasonal maintenance, or upgrades.
Without a system to follow up, Wired Growth was losing repeat revenue and relying too heavily on new lead generation. Their brand was quickly forgotten once the job was done, and that lack of ongoing engagement created gaps in their work pipeline.
In early 2023, Wired Growth took action by launching a targeted email marketing program designed to stay top-of-mind with past clients and re-engage inactive ones.
They implemented:
Each email was written in a warm, friendly tone—designed to educate, build credibility, and make Wired Growth feel like a helpful neighbor rather than a sales pitch.
Within six months, Wired Growth saw a dramatic improvement in customer retention and rebookings. Their email open rates jumped to 44%, well above industry averages. Click-through rates more than doubled, and repeat bookings increased by 40%, translating into nearly $18,000 in added revenue from past customers alone.
They also saw a 30% increase in Google reviews, thanks to automated "Thank You + Review Us" emails sent after each completed job.
This campaign proved that staying visible equals staying valuable. Clients weren't ignoring Wired Growth—they had simply forgotten about them. With consistent, relevant email touchpoints, the company turned lost opportunities into long-term relationships.
Even more importantly, they built a marketing engine that now runs on autopilot, requiring little time to maintain—freeing the team to focus on what they do best: delivering quality electrical work.
Wired Growth was spending $2,500/month on Google Ads with poor results. Five costly mistakes were quietly draining their budget. Here's how they fixed it.
In early 2024, Wired Growth was running Google Ads with the goal of generating consistent local leads. They were spending around $2,500/month, but the results didn't match the investment. Calls were inconsistent, form submissions were low quality, and many leads turned out to be outside their service area or price range.
Despite having decent ad copy and daily budget caps, something wasn't working. The return on ad spend (ROAS) was weak, and cost-per-lead was too high.
After consulting with a PPC specialist, Wired Growth uncovered five major mistakes that were quietly draining their ad budget:
Wired Growth made strategic changes over a 6-week period including shifting to phrase match and exact match keywords, implementing radius targeting, breaking campaigns into service-based ad groups, setting up call tracking, and designing dedicated landing pages.
Within three months, Wired Growth saw major improvements:
Google Ads can be a goldmine or a money pit—it all depends on execution. Like Wired Growth, many electricians unknowingly waste thousands due to a few missteps in keyword strategy, targeting, and conversion setup.
With the right audit and optimization, even small changes can transform a failing campaign into a growth engine.
Wired Growth was driving traffic through Google Ads and SEO, but most visitors bounced without converting. Their conversion rate was stuck at 2.1%. Here's how they fixed it.
Wired Growth was driving traffic through Google Ads and SEO, but most visitors bounced without converting. Despite ranking well for keywords like "local electrician near me" and "panel upgrade Austin," their homepage was acting more like a brochure than a lead-generation tool.
Their conversion rate hovered around 2.1%, and they suspected the design and structure of their site were holding back performance.
After a full CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) audit, Wired Growth realized they were missing three critical elements on their service pages and landing pages:
Wired Growth partnered with a conversion-focused designer to build dedicated landing pages for their top services: EV charger installations, emergency electrical repair, and residential rewiring.
Key changes included headline-CTA harmony, shorter smarter forms, mobile-first layout, trust amplifiers, and service-specific copy.
Over the following 90 days, Wired Growth saw:
