1. Paste this schema on your homepage

Add this JSON-LD inside your site head tag (or via your CMS schema field). It tells every AI engine exactly what Thunder Electric does and where. Replace the YOUR-DOMAIN, phone, and review-count placeholders, then validate at Google Rich Results Test.

2. Get listed on the sources AI actually reads

The first block is where the engines looked when answering about you. Fix those first - same name, address, phone everywhere. Then work the universal backbone.

Universal citation backbone
Google Business Profile · google.com/business
The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.
Yelp · biz.yelp.com
Heavily cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for local recommendations.
Bing Places · bingplaces.com
Feeds Copilot and is read by Perplexity. Most contractors skip it.
Apple Business Connect · businessconnect.apple.com
Powers Siri and is increasingly cited.
Better Business Bureau · bbb.org
High-trust signal AI engines weight heavily.
Angi · angi.com
Trade-intent directory engines pull from for who-to-call queries.
Facebook Business Page · facebook.com/business
Cited for reviews and service confirmation.
Nextdoor · business.nextdoor.com
Hyperlocal recommendations engines increasingly surface.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. List Thunder Electric on 9 directories now
+9 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% with no mentions across 9 queries, which is critical for local visibility.
Do this: Focus on key directories: Yelp, BBB, Angi, Houzz, and IBEW local directory. Create listings today to gain initial citations. Estimate 5 hours, minimal cost, and significant visibility increase in next 30 days.
2. Add Electrician schema with serviceType for 3 services
+7 pts
Why: Structured data health is at 10.0% — missing schema means AI engines struggle to categorize your business correctly.
Do this: Implement Electrician schema for panel upgrades, EV charger installation, and generator install. Use Google's structured data helper for JSON-LD markup. Plan for 3 hours of work to complete this by week's end.
3. Get 5 Google reviews mentioning EV charger installs
+12 pts
Why: No reviews mean you’re losing out; AI engines favor businesses with strong social proof, especially since citation rate is 0.
Do this: Initiate a request for reviews from clients who received EV charger installations. Use follow-up emails or texts; aim for 1 review per day over the next week.
4. Create 3 dedicated service pages for installations
+8 pts
Why: High potential queries like 'EV charger installation' aren’t being targeted; page creation is crucial to improve competitive position of 19.4.
Do this: Build dedicated service pages focusing on EV charger installs, panel upgrades, and generator installations. Allocate 7-10 hours for content creation and optimization to go live next week.
5. Claim and verify IBEW and NECA memberships on site
+3 pts
Why: Unlisted trade credentials undermine your authority; structured data health shows a clear need for improvement at 10.0%.
Do this: Update the website header to include IBEW and NECA credentials along with certification logos. Ensure you're linking to verification URLs. Anticipate a few hours for this update.
6. Add compliance language to all web pages
+4 pts
Why: Missing NEC code compliance language affects your credibility with AI engines; structured data shows low trust signals at 10.0% health.
Do this: Review existing website copy and incorporate NEC compliance language throughout. Allocate 5 hours to revise and implement the changes by the end of next week.
7. Monitor mentions of competitors weekly
+3 pts
Why: Universal Home Experts and Mister Sparky Houston appear twice; you need competitive insights to adjust your strategy effectively.
Do this: Set a weekly alert on Google for mentions of these competitors and their offered services. Allocate 1 hour weekly to assess findings and adapt strategies as required.
