Forge helps independent electricians get more Google reviews, respond to new leads in under 30 seconds, and rank higher on Google Maps — without hiring a marketing agency.
We analyzed the Google profiles of 513 independent Texas contractors. Electrical companies averaged 25.8 Google reviews at a 4.79 star rating. Industry guidance puts 40–75 reviews as the range associated with ranking well in competitive local search — so the typical independent electrical business sits well below the bar.
Every trade we measured averaged between 4.58 and 4.91 stars, which means rating isn't what separates businesses in the local pack. Review volume is.
Homeowners vet electricians harder than almost any trade — the work carries real safety risk, so they read more reviews before calling. A thin review profile fails that check regardless of how good your work is.
Summer load spikes and pre-storm generator demand both concentrate into short windows. Forge keeps your profile visible when those windows open.
Plans start at $49/month with a 14-day free trial and no contract. If you have at least 30 past customers to contact, we guarantee 10 new Google reviews in your first 30 days — or you don't pay.
