TL;DR
Seven agencies sell electrician SEO seriously and three of them publish a price. Hook Agency starts SEO at a published $2,800 a month and is the name-brand contractor shop. 1Digital sells a platform instead of a retainer: a site built for $0, then $89, $199 or $449 a month. We start at $350 a month with no contract. LeadsNearby, Built Right Digital, RYNO (which absorbed Blue Corona) and Thrive price on the call. The right choice depends on whether you are a two-truck residential shop or a multi-market contractor with a commercial division, and the table below sorts them on that first. Every figure is quoted from the agency's own page as of September 2026.
Disclosure: we are ranked first below and this is our site. Everything said about another agency is quoted from their page with a link, and the "best for" column is the honest answer, which in three cases is not us.
If you want the strategy rather than the shortlist, the electrician SEO guide covers the six pillars, the benchmarks and the 90-day plan. This page is for the contractor who has decided to hire it out.
What separates them
Price transparency first, because it is rare in this category and it tells you how the agency sells. Then specialisation: two of the seven do only home services, two do only contractors, three do everything. Then the model: a retainer for work, or a platform with a monthly fee. Both work; they suit different owners.
The agencies, ranked
| Agency | Pricing signal | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Skill Mammoth (ours) | $350, $750 or $1,500 a month published, no contracts | Residential shops that want a flat fee with AI search included |
| Hook Agency | SEO from a published $2,800 a month | Bigger budgets that want the name-brand contractor agency |
| 1Digital Agency | Site built for $0, then $89, $199 or $449 a month | Owners who want a platform, not a retainer; electrical since 2012 |
| LeadsNearby | Not published | HVAC, plumbing and electrical shops that want dispatch integration |
| Built Right Digital | Ads from around $999 a month; SEO custom | Budget-first specialist work |
| RYNO Strategic Solutions | Enterprise, not published | Multi-market operations at $3 million and up |
| Thrive Internet Marketing | Custom, month to month | Everything under one large roof |
| Verdict | Two trucks: us or 1Digital. Ten trucks and a commercial division: Hook or LeadsNearby. Multi-market: RYNO. Ask the three silent ones for the number before the demo. | |
1. Skill Mammoth
Ours, so weigh it. The programme is the service and city pages, the Google Business Profile and review system, schema, the answer-first pages that get a contractor named in ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview, and monthly rank and prompt monitoring, at $350, $750 or $1,500 a month depending on markets and service lines. No contract. The site, if you need one, is $1,000, $3,000 or $8,000, owned outright. We do residential home services and the reference work is on the electricians page. What we do not do: national campaigns, large commercial contractors, and anything that needs a sales office.
2. Hook Agency
The biggest name in contractor marketing and the one most electricians have heard of. SEO starts at a published $2,800 a month, which puts it above most of the field and buys a team that has done this for hundreds of trades businesses. Their own electrician roundups rank on the search you probably used to find this page, which is a fair sign they know the craft. The fit is a contractor with the budget to spend $35,000 a year on search alone and the volume to make that pay.
3. 1Digital Agency
A different model. Instead of a retainer, 1Digital builds the site for $0 on its WorkspaceCMS platform and charges a flat $89, $199 or $449 a month afterwards, with electrical and trade contractors served since 2012. The page describes emergency-service landing pages built for click-to-call, service-area pages per township, licensing and insurance trust signals on every page, and content for EV charger installs and panel upgrades. Their stated timelines are honest: local pack visibility in 60 to 90 days, competitive organic rankings in four to six months. The trade-off with any platform is that the site lives on their system; ask what leaving looks like.
4. LeadsNearby
Built for HVAC, plumbing and electrical, with garage doors, fire protection and concrete alongside, and the distinguishing feature is dispatch software integration, so the lead lands in the system your office already runs. The claims on the page are specific: 325 percent more website traffic, 70 percent more conversions and 35 percent more revenue for a 2022 client, and 65 percent more calls from a managed Google Business Profile. No price published. A good fit for a shop with an office manager and a dispatch board that wants the marketing wired into it.
5. Built Right Digital
The value specialist. Google Ads from around $999 a month, SEO priced custom and positioned under the big shops. Their agency roundups rank on the electrician searches too, which is the same signal as Hook's. The pick when budget is the constraint and you still want someone who works only with contractors.
6. RYNO Strategic Solutions
The enterprise tier, which absorbed Blue Corona's home services practice. Blue Corona's electrician SEO page still ranks second for the category search, and RYNO's clients are multi-market operations with in-house marketing staff. A $3 million single-market contractor is at the bottom of their range; a two-truck shop is not their client and should not try to be.
7. Thrive Internet Marketing
The full-service generalist, month to month with no contract, doing SEO, ads, social, web and now GEO for every industry. The advantage is one vendor for everything; the disadvantage is that electricians are one of a hundred verticals, and the person on your account learned the trade last quarter. Custom pricing.
Want a flat fee and a number before the call?
Programmes from $350 a month, no contract, AI search included. The first call is thirty minutes and ends with which of the seven above you should hire, including when it is not us.
How to actually choose
Start with the number of trucks. One to three trucks in one metro: the programme is the profile, the service pages, reviews and a handful of city pages, and it should cost hundreds a month, not thousands. Us or 1Digital. Four to fifteen trucks with a commercial side: the programme adds commercial pages, more cities and paid search, and $2,000 to $4,000 a month is the honest range. Hook, LeadsNearby or Built Right. Multiple markets with a marketing hire: RYNO.
Then ask the four questions that expose a weak proposal. Which suburb's map pack moves first, and by when. What the fee is, in writing, before the demo. Who owns the site and the content when you leave. And what they do about AI search, because "electrician near me" is increasingly answered by a paragraph naming three companies, and an agency with no answer is behind. The SEO cost guide has the market ranges to check any quote against, and GEO vs SEO covers what the AI search work actually involves.
Frequently asked questions
How much does electrician SEO cost?
Published prices run from $89 to $449 a month on 1Digital's platform model and $350 to $1,500 a month at Skill Mammoth, up to a published $2,800 a month starting point at Hook Agency. LeadsNearby, Built Right Digital, RYNO and Thrive price on the call. For a one-to-three-truck residential shop, hundreds a month is the honest range; for a multi-truck contractor with a commercial division, $2,000 to $4,000.
Which electrician SEO company is best for a small shop?
Skill Mammoth or 1Digital, both of which publish prices under $500 a month and serve one-to-three-truck residential contractors. 1Digital's model is a platform with a $0 site build and a flat monthly fee; ours is a programme with a published flat fee and no contract. Hook and RYNO are built for larger contractors and priced accordingly.
Do electrician SEO agencies specialise?
Some. LeadsNearby serves HVAC, plumbing and electrical with dispatch integration. 1Digital has served electrical and trade contractors since 2012. Hook and Built Right work only with contractors. Skill Mammoth works only with home services. Thrive and RYNO are generalist and enterprise agencies respectively where electricians are one vertical among many.
What should an electrician SEO proposal include?
Service pages per job type including emergency, panel upgrades and EV charger installs, city pages with real local detail, a Google Business Profile and review system, schema, a monthly rank report by suburb, and a plan for AI search. It should name the suburb whose map pack moves first and the date, and state the fee in writing before the demo.
How long does electrician SEO take to work?
1Digital's published timelines match what we see: local pack visibility in 60 to 90 days once the profile and reviews are fixed, and competitive organic rankings in four to six months. Emergency and panel-upgrade pages can rank sooner in suburbs where no competitor has a dedicated page.
