Someone searching for an electrician is often dealing with something that cannot wait: no power, a sparking switch, a fault the insurer will ask about. Your website’s job is to look like a real, registered business fast. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
A lot of electrical searches are triggered by something going wrong right now: “no power one room”, “electrician near me”, “emergency electrician Tauranga”, “switchboard tripping”. These are answered mostly by the map results, not the ordinary search list underneath them, and they are searched on a phone, standing in front of the problem.
The rest are planned work, such as a switchboard upgrade, heat pump wiring or a rewire on an older house, where people compare two or three electricians before calling. Either way, the website has seconds to do its job: a phone number, the towns you cover, and something that looks current and real.
Anyone carrying out prescribed electrical work in New Zealand is required by law to hold a current Practising Licence issued by the Electrical Workers Registration Board, renewed every two years under the Electricity Act and its safety regulations. It is not optional and it is not a marketing claim. The register is public, and anyone can look you up on it. Putting your registration on your own website, rather than leaving people to take your word for it, is one of the simplest trust signals available, and almost nobody bothers to use it.
Most people calling an electrician for the first time have no way to tell one business from another beyond a star rating. Anything that removes doubt before they dial (a licence number, a real phone number, recent finished work) is doing real work.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of electricians they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, it matters even more for an electrician than for most trades, because someone with no power is looking at the map results, not scrolling past them. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Yes. Anyone carrying out prescribed electrical work must hold a current Practising Licence from the Electrical Workers Registration Board. Showing it, rather than leaving people to take your word for it, is one of the fastest ways to look legitimate to someone who has never used you before.
Your trade, the towns you cover, a phone number that gets answered, and whether you do after-hours or emergency call-outs. Photos of finished work help more than a paragraph about your company history.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not an electrician? See the same approach for plumbers, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
