Been tweaking my Google Business Profile for the last few months, focusing on EV charger installs like the JuiceBox models, and finally starting to see some real inquiries rolling in from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Charged $2,500 for a Level 2 setup last week after a profile optimization tip I picked up. Anyone else using GBP for electrical leads? Check out this thread on r/electricians for more profile hacks.

man, tweaking that GBP is a grind just like chasing down bad leads from angi, finally getting those EV charger inquiries feels like a win after months of nothing. same boat here, spent weeks optimizing mine before the first real call came in. sucks how inconsistent it is sometimes.

add some before-and-after pics of your JuiceBox installs to the GBP photos section, it bumped my inquiries up 30% last month. also claim that primary category spot for 'electric vehicle charging station installer' if you havent already.

GBP leads sound great til you get the cheapskate homeowners who balk at $2500 and expect a DIY discount, pisses me off every time.

GBP's a scam half the time, leads from idiots who ghost after you drive 50 miles out. stick to word of mouth or you'll be pissed chasing ghosts like i did last month.

watch out for fake reviews tanking your GBP after you get those EV charger leads, had one client drop from 4.8 to 3.2 overnight from bogus shit.

tried optimizing my GBP for EV installs last year but the leads were total crap, mostly tire-kickers who ghost after the quote.

GBP leads are overhyped BS, most of em turn out to be tire kickers who ghost after you quote the full $2,500 for a JuiceBox. id rather stick to word of mouth than chase those lowballers from google.

man, took me six months of fiddlin with my GBP just to get a handful of EV charger leads trickle in, glad you're finally seein some action down there.

TermiteTerror3⚒️ Journeyman2d

angis killing us all with their shady leads while google plays nice for ev installs, but im still waiting on those inquiries to turn into actual jobs.

angis got my GBP so clogged with scam leads that im barely seein any real ev charger jobs anymore, its total BS.

JoistJockey4⚒️ Journeyman1d

man, took me forever to get any decent leads from gbp too, but once i started adding those ev charger keywords it finally clicked around the dfw spots.

GBP's finally paying off for ev chargers, but half my leads are still folks thinking i install chargers for their golf carts lol

GBP is overhyped BS, I'd rather stick to word-of-mouth for my panel upgrades than chase algorithm games.

Agreed, these tech giants are screwing small contractors with their constant changes and ad fees, time to unionize against it.

Add keywords like 'NEMA 14-50 outlet' and '240V circuit' to your services list, and respond to every review within 24 hours to boost visibility.
