Annual spend at this pace: $24,000. If your target CPL is outside the industry range, expect either auction inflation (you'll pay more per lead) or scale shortfall (you can't buy enough leads).

CPVD background is tier-based per delivery. Tunnels (1-mile road strips) and zones (1-square-mile areas) deliver hyper-local just-in-time messages and are priced higher. For electrical, the recommended mix usually includes one or both. Get a tier-specific quote for your route.
WilDi Maps is not a single flat-rate product. You pick the tier that matches how local you need to be. All three are GPS-verified per claim, with no auction, no exchange rake, no Middleman Tax.

Frequently asked questions
How much should an electrical contractor spend on advertising?
Electrical CAC runs $150-$300 across channels (FinancialModelsLab 2026). At $200 average CAC and a 30-customer-month goal, that's $6,000/month. Electrical has the lowest LSA CPL of any home-services vertical ($30-$95 per Blue Grid Media) because residential electrical service calls are high-intent + relatively standard.
Why is electrical CPL lower than HVAC or plumbing?
Lower auction inflation. Fewer multi-state chains aggressively bid electrical keywords compared to HVAC. Most electrical work is local-licensed. Florida § 489 electrical-contractor licenses are state-level, which thins out-of-state competitors. The bidding pool stays mostly local.
What's the right ad mix for panel-upgrade vs EV-charger work?
Panel upgrades and EV-charger installs are different audiences. Panel-upgrade leads come from older homes (1960s-1990s stock with FPE/Zinsco/Pushmatic panels at end-of-life) and insurance-driven discoveries. EV-charger leads come from new EV buyers (premium markets, Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, San Marco). Run them as separate campaigns with separate keyword sets and creative.
How does CPVD work for electrical?
Mix of zone (older-home clusters with aging panel stock: Avondale, San Marco, Mandarin) + tunnel (post-storm corridors needing service-drop replacements). Background (tier-based) for general brand awareness. Electrical-contractor recognition matters because the customer needs to trust a stranger with their home wiring. Local-licensed brand presence wins.
What's a healthy LTV:CAC for electrical?
3:1-5:1 standard for service-call electricians. Whole-house rewire and EV-charger work skews higher because the average ticket is higher. Solar+battery integrators have much higher LTV from referrals: the first install drives 0.5-1.0 additional installs in the same neighborhood within 18 months.
Federal Pacific (FPE), Zinsco, Pushmatic: why does this matter?
These are obsolete defective electrical panels that still exist in many 1960s-1980s Jacksonville homes. Florida insurance carriers are increasingly issuing non-renewal letters when homes have FPE/Zinsco/Pushmatic. That's an ad opportunity. Operators who explicitly mention "FPE/Zinsco/Pushmatic replacement" in their ad copy capture the insurance-driven panel-upgrade demand.
What is the difference between background, zone, and tunnel ads?
Background runs city-wide across every active driver in the metro. A zone is a neighborhood-sized area you hold exclusively: while it is yours, no competitor can run there. A tunnel is a one-mile stretch of road you can place anywhere, and it follows the road's contours, ideal for the approach to your shop or a route your customers already drive.
Do I have to bid in an auction?
No. Every tier has a fixed, published rate per verified delivery. The price you see is the price you pay, whether it is game day or a Tuesday morning. Higher tiers carry lower per-delivery rates.
Where is WilDi Maps available?
The pilot market is Jacksonville, Florida, live now. New metros open as the driver network expands. If you want your market next, talk to sales.
How much does it cost to start advertising on WilDi Maps?
The Starter tier opens with a $50 deposit, and that deposit becomes your ad budget. Background deliveries on Starter run $0.50 per verified delivery, so the first deposit buys 100 GPS-verified deliveries to real driver phones. There is no auction and no platform fee stacked on top.
