The Challenge

Seattle electrician had a slow website (8.3 second load time) and poor local SEO visibility. Their PageSpeed score was 42. Mobile conversion rate was only 18%.

Problem: Customers bounced before the site even loaded. They weren't ranking in Google Maps. Organic traffic was minimal (187 visits/month).

They needed a fast website and strong local SEO to compete in the Seattle market.
