If I had a pound for every time a customer told me some random SEO agency had warned them about “keyword cannibalisation”, I’d be sipping a cold drink somewhere warm by now! Read my latest blog post for more info:

Video vs Blog Posts: What works for getting found online?

Video = Converts existing website traffic
Text blog posts = Gets you found on Google

You need both, but start with blogs. Google can't rank what it can't read.

There is always a lot of talk about blogging and how it can help your electrician website get more leads from Google. Blogging is one of the best ways to show Google that your site is active, helpful and full of useful information for your customers.

https://t.co/Cju3tm0q1h Most electricians I speak to have a WordPress website that “looks alright” — but it doesn’t bring in the work.

Sound familiar?

There’s a good reason for that.

[Gary Pratten @garyprattenuk]

If you’re still relying on a templated website that “does the job”, give this a read.

I’ve just written a no-nonsense blog about why most websites for electricians don’t actually work and what makes a proper one that brings in real jobs.
