Why Local KOL Partnerships Are Non-Negotiable for Electrician Businesses in 2025
The global electrical services market is projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2027 (Statista), yet 68% of local electricians struggle with visibility and customer acquisition. Generic online ads and outdated SEO tactics no longer cut through the noise. The solution? Hyper-local Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) who resonate with regional audiences.

| Conversion Rate | 2.1% | 6.7% (+219%) |
| Customer Lifetime Value | $850 | $2,150 (+153%) |
| Review Growth Rate | 1.2 reviews/month | 4.8 reviews/month (+300%) |
