Photos that work

• Neat panels and DBs you've wired. A clean board shows your skill better than words.
• You at work with proper tools, gloves and a tester.
• Before-and-after of messy wiring you've tidied, with the owner's permission.
• Festival lighting jobs you've done, in the evening.
• Your vehicle and tool kit.
• A clear photo of yourself, so customers know who's coming.

What to post about

• Before summer, inverter and battery checks, when power cuts get common in many places.
• Before monsoon, earthing checks and safety tips about water near switches.
• Before Diwali, decorative lighting for homes and shops. Book early.
• A simple safety tip, like what to do when the MCB keeps tripping.
• New areas you now cover.

When and how to ask for reviews

Ask after you've switched everything back on and shown the customer each point works. Not while they're still without power.

1. 1

   Test with the customer watching

   Switch on each fan, light and point you worked on, and let them try them.

2. 2

   Ask before leaving

   Ask every customer the same simple line: a Google review helps you get more work.

3. 3

   Send the link with your number

   Send your contact and review link together on WhatsApp, so they also have your number saved for next time.

4. 4

   No discounts for reviews

   Don't reduce the bill in return for a review.

Whenever you ask, Google's rules apply: ask every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer anything in return for a review.

Mistakes to avoid

• Showing your home address

  If customers don't come to you, hide it. A visible home address for a service business can get the profile suspended.

• Brand names in the business name

  Don't add inverter or fan brand names to your name unless you are an authorised dealer or service partner for that brand.

• Unsafe-looking photos

  Photos of open wiring without safety gear make customers nervous. Show careful work.
