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 Athens Electric does and where. Replace the YOUR-DOMAIN, phone, and review-count placeholders, then validate at Google Rich Results Test.

<script type="application/ld+json">

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.

The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.

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

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Add Electrician schema with serviceType to 9 pages
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is only 55.6%, missing schema signals AI engines depend on to identify your business type.
Do this: Use Google's structured data helper to generate JSON-LD for 'Electrician' with service types including panel upgrades and EV charger installation. Validate using Rich Results Test after adding to each page. Allocate 3 hours for implementation.
2. Get 5 Google reviews mentioning EV charger install
+2 pts
Why: Competitors like Meehan Electrical Services are mentioned 2 times and reviews are critical for ranking with AI engines.
Do this: Request reviews via email and in-person, specifically asking for mentions of EV charger installs. Leverage Google My Business to track the request status. Plan for 1 hour to send out requests this week.
3. List Generac and Tesla certifications in schema
+4 pts
Why: Lack of trade credential mentions affects technical authority signals, currently at 25% citation accuracy.
Do this: Update your schema to include Generac and Tesla certifications with logos and verification URLs. Review your existing structured data to add this information. Expect 2 hours to complete updates.
4. Create 3 dedicated service pages for high-intent queries
+3 pts
Why: No dedicated content for 'EV charger installation' and '200 amp panel upgrade' prevents capturing specific traffic.
Do this: Draft content for these service pages emphasizing your expertise and credentials. Use targeted keywords in headings and text. Schedule 4 hours for writing and publishing within the week.
5. Fix 5 citation inaccuracies across major directories
+2 pts
Why: Current citation accuracy is only 25%, which can cause ranking issues with AI engines and affect visibility.
Do this: Audit your listings on Yelp, BBB, Angi, IBEW, and NECA to identify inaccuracies. Correct NAP info and verify consistency. Allocate 3 hours for corrections and follow-ups.
6. Add NEC code compliance language to site copy
+2 pts
Why: Technical authority signals are missing, making it hard for AI engines to recognize your expertise.
Do this: Revise your website copy to include NEC compliance references. Integrate this language in service descriptions and about pages. Set aside 2 hours for edits and review.
7. Mention Miller Electric in 3 blog posts this month
+2 pts
Why: Miller Electric is a known competitor, leveraging their mentions can help position Athens Electric within searches.
Do this: Write 3 blog posts discussing industry trends, including Miller Electric as a comparison point. Aim to incorporate local insights to capture interest. Expect 6 hours total for writing and publishing.
