What We Found

Getting Confused With Olson & Sons Electric

Monticello has two independent "Olson" electricians: your company, founded in 2001, and Olson & Sons Electric, a separate, older business founded in 1959. Neither site currently makes that distinction clear online, so a search for "Olson electric Monticello" or a word-of-mouth referral can easily send a customer, or a review, to the wrong business.

Site Isn't Secure (No HTTPS)

Your current site loads over plain HTTP, not HTTPS. Modern browsers flag that as "Not Secure," and Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. It's a quiet trust killer for anyone who notices the warning.

25 Years in Business, Buried

Wes started this company in 2001 and is a master electrician with over 35 years of experience. That's real, verifiable trust. Right now it only shows up in a paragraph on the About page, not on the homepage where a new visitor actually decides whether to call.

Only 7 Google Reviews After 25 Years

Your Google Business Profile shows 4.3 stars, which is solid, but only 7 reviews total. For a business that's wired homes and businesses across Monticello for a quarter century, that's a thin signal compared to what a new customer sees when comparing options.

What We Built for You

Clear Distinction From Olson & Sons

A dedicated FAQ answer and on-page copy that makes the two companies unmistakably separate, so a customer or a review lands where it's supposed to.

25 Years and Chamber Membership, Above the Fold

"Serving Monticello Since 2001," Wes's master electrician credential, and your Monticello Chamber membership sit in the trust bar, the first thing a visitor sees.

Real Commercial Portfolio, Surfaced

Moon Motorsports, Dahlheimer Distributing, Taco John's, Sand Prairie Dental, and the City of Monticello Firehall generator system, work you've already done, now visible on the homepage instead of buried on a projects page nobody clicks.

Modern, Secure, Mobile-Ready Site

Fully responsive on phones, HTTPS-ready hosting, structured data (schema) so Google and AI tools understand exactly who you are and what you do, none of which the current site has.

New Customer Value $450+ Typical electrical service ticket for a panel upgrade or remodel job (industry estimate)
Just 1 New Job / Month Paid For One additional service call per month from better search visibility covers the monthly investment.
Your Investment $299 setup + $599/mo 3-month start, then month-to-month. Cancel after with 30 days notice, no penalty. Site, SEO, and ongoing updates included.

Questions you will probably ask us (and honest answers)
How long does SEO take to work?

Google ranking improvements take 90 to 180 days for local search terms. Google Business Profile changes show faster, sometimes within 30 to 60 days. We track movement monthly and show you the data.

Will this actually fix the Olson & Sons confusion?

It reduces it significantly. We can't control what other sites or directories say about a different business, but we can make sure your own site, your GBP listing, and your directory citations are unmistakably clear about who you are.

What about Google Ads?

Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) are the better starting point for electricians. They appear above regular search results, charge per verified lead rather than per click, and show a "Google Screened" badge that builds instant trust.

Can you help me get more Google reviews?

Yes. We build a simple, automated system that texts or emails a review request after each completed job, along with response templates so you can reply to every review that comes in.

What is the difference between this and my current website?

Your current site is a static, non-secure HTML site with no mobile layout. The site we built is fully custom, mobile-responsive, HTTPS-ready, and fully yours. You control everything.

What happens if I want to cancel?

We ask for a 3-month start, because that is how long real SEO movement takes. After that, 30 days written notice, no penalty, no hard feelings. You keep the website, the domain stays yours, and we hand off everything cleanly.
