About Chief Electric

  • Industry: Commercial & Residential Electrical Services
  • Founded: January 2024 (≈ 1½ years old)
  • Client Since: December 2024 (results through 13 May 2025)
  • Package: Booster Website Program + Launch‑Pad SEO
  • Old Growth Model: 100 % referrals & on‑site networking
  • Goal: Keep the word‑of‑mouth buzz, but let the website fill the pipeline so the crew can stay on‑site—not at mixers.

The Challenge

  1. Zero online footprint. A single page with no rankings or conversion path.
