The client
Parker Service Company
A family-run electrical contractor based in Opelika, covering both residential and commercial work across Auburn, Opelika, and Lee County.
Their range is wide — new construction on both the commercial and residential side, home rewiring, panel upgrades, generators, home automation, outdoor and landscape lighting, pole lights, and general service work.
The challenge
Well regarded locally, hard to find online
A well-reviewed local electrician with a broken website of their own. Customers searching for an electrician in Lee County had no easy way to see what services were offered or request a quote outside of business hours.
The owner’s day is spent on job sites, calling customers and contractors, and managing a crew. Checking email consistently isn’t realistic, and when he does, new enquiries are mixed in with everything else in the inbox.
So the brief had two halves: give customers a clear picture of the work, and make sure a new lead reaches the owner without depending on him checking an inbox.
The strategy
Decisions behind the build
One page per service
Someone searching for a panel upgrade and someone searching for a generator install are different customers with different questions. Ten services got ten pages, each able to rank and answer on its own, rather than a single list buried on the homepage.
Show the work
Electrical work is largely invisible once the drywall goes back up, so the gallery carries a lot of weight. Photos of finished jobs prove competence faster than any paragraph describing it.
Be explicit about coverage
A homeowner's first question is often just whether you come out to where they live. Naming Auburn, Opelika, and the surrounding Lee County communities answers it before they have to ask.
Bring existing reviews forward
The business was already well reviewed, but that reputation lived on other platforms. Pulling it onto the site puts the proof where the decision gets made.
Build for the phone first
Most people looking for an electrician are on a phone, often standing next to the problem. Tappable phone numbers and a short quote form matter more than anything that only shows on a desktop.
Get the lead to the owner immediately
The single most important decision on the project, and the reason for everything in the lead flow below.
What was built
The finished site
- A homepage that leads with the services people search for most
- Ten individual service pages, each with its own URL and content
- A photo gallery of completed electrical work
- A service-area page covering Auburn, Opelika, and Lee County
- A reviews page collecting existing customer feedback in one place
- An FAQ answering the questions that otherwise become phone calls
- A resources section for longer explanations
- A quote form that sends the details straight to the owner's phone
Lead flow
From service page to the owner’s phone
The path is deliberately short. Nothing on the site asks a visitor to do more than necessary before they can get in touch.
- 01
They find a service
A search for a specific job lands on the page about that job, not a generic homepage.
- 02
They see proof
Gallery photos, reviews, and a clear service area answer the trust question.
- 03
They call or request a quote
A tappable number, or a short form that's realistic to finish on a phone.
- 04
The owner gets a text
Submissions are sent by SMS as soon as they arrive, so a lead doesn't sit unread in an inbox.
That last step is the one most small-business websites miss. A quote form is only worth having if somebody sees the submission while the customer is still deciding who to call.
Where it stands
A proper home base to send customers to
The business now has a site that explains the work clearly, shows real credibility, and captures quote requests around the clock — with each one arriving by text rather than waiting in an inbox.
You’ll notice there are no traffic charts or lead counts on this page. I’d rather show you the decisions and let you judge the work than quote numbers I haven’t measured.
This is the same approach I bring to custom business websites for other local companies.
