How much of a $5,000 a month budget reaches the ads with Blue Grid Media?

$4,205. Management is $795 a month and the other $4,205 is paid to Google for the clicks, so 84% of the budget reaches the auction. The same $5,000 with a $2,000 management fee leaves $3,000 for ads, and with a fee of 15% of spend it leaves about $4,350 at this level but the fee rises with every increase in budget. Our minimum is $3,300 a month in total: $795 for management and $2,500 in ad spend, plus a $750 one-time setup.

NYC Administrative Code 28-429

In New York City the ad says "N.Y.C. licensed electrician" and the license number

New York City licenses master and special electricians through the Department of Buildings. Since Local Law 128 of 2024 took effect on 21 December 2025 the rules sit in Title 28, Article 429. Section 28-429.1 makes it unlawful to do electrical work unless "a licensed master electrician or working under the direct and continuing supervision" of one, and to "use in any advertising the words 'master electrician' or the words 'licensed electrician' or the words 'electrical contractor'" without authorization.

Section 28-429.7.2 is the advertising rule: "All business vehicles, advertising, websites, and stationery used in connection with a master electrician business shall display prominently the full name of the licensee, the words 'N.Y.C. licensed electrician,' the licensee's number, and the licensee's business address." A licensee can be fined up to $25,000 per finding under 28-401.19. Outside the five boroughs licensing is set by counties, cities and towns; we have not read the Nassau, Suffolk or Westchester rules, so this page does not state them. We read the city code on 24 October 2026; the compliance is the company's own.

Google AdsFour things on the page

For a New York City master electrician: the licensee's full name, "N.Y.C. licensed electrician", the license number and the business address, on the website the ads send people to.

TargetingCity and county as separate markets

The city license does not answer for Long Island or Westchester. Each market runs as its own campaign, with the license that applies there.

Local Services AdsElectricians

Electricians is a national Local Services Ads category, and Google checks this license during verification, which takes three to four weeks on average.

The searches that look like customers

New York searches for the supply house, the apprenticeship and the paycheck

"Electrician" is a job title as well as a service. In New York a broad account buys these searches first, because they are large and cheap, and none of them is a homeowner who needs a panel or a dead outlet fixed. Against them sit 22,200 searches a month for "electrician" itself.

A store, not a serviceelectrical supply near me, 14,800 a month

In New York people looking for the supply house search 14,800 times a month. They are buying wire, not hiring. A negative keyword.

Trainingelectrician apprenticeship, 2,900 a month

Apprenticeship searches run 2,900 a month in New York, with "how to become an electrician" at 1,000. Blocked with apprentice, school, course, training and license in the New York account.

Work, not a job to doelectrician jobs, 1,300; electrician salary, 2,400

Job and salary searches add 1,300 and 2,400 a month in New York, and the New York negative list blocks them with jobs, hiring, salary, pay and careers.

The do-it-yourselferelectrical wiring and how-to searches

In New York, wiring diagrams and how-to questions look like repair intent and are not, so they are blocked with how to, diagram, code, diy and video.

The bid that decides the account

In New York the EV charger month is September

New York EV charger searches ran 320 in November and 3,600 in September 2026, and panel upgrade searches 210 in winter and 1,900 in July. A New York account that spreads its budget evenly through the year is underfunded in exactly those months.

A New York service call still breaks even near $38 a lead at a $250 ticket, 40 percent margin and 38 percent booking, and a panel near $473. Cheap city clicks make the New York City service call affordable on Search in a way it is not in Rochester.

Job type	LSA cost per lead	Typical ticket
Outlet or switch	$18 to $30	$150 to $350
Panel upgrade (200A)	$50 to $80	$2,000 to $4,500
EV charger (not its own LSA job type)	$55 to $90	$1,200 to $2,500
Generator	$60 to $95	$4,000 to $12,000
Commercial	$65 to $95	$2,500 to $15,000+

Proof, and what is missing

What we can show for New York electricians, and what we cannot yet

Our team has managed 20+ electrical accounts across its career. We do not publish an electrician case study for New York or anywhere else yet, and we will not dress up another trade's numbers as one.

In New York the largest gap is the license line: an account that runs the same ad in Manhattan and in Westchester cannot state the license that applies in each.

The New York numbers to plan on are our Local Services Ads dataset: an electrician lead there costs $20 to $65, a $35 median, with 36 percent of leads booking.

How a New York electrician account is built

Service calls, panels and generators, and commercial work in separate New York campaigns with separate bids; job seekers and supply-house searches blocked before the first click; every lead in an account in your name. What New York electricians pay for leads elsewhere: /electrician-leads.

What it costs

Our pricing, published, same as every other page on this site

$795 a month for Google Ads management, on a $2,500 minimum monthly ad spend. $995 with Local Services Ads added. Setup is $750 one time and covers the business and competitor analysis, keyword research, conversion tracking, the campaign build and a landing page for each campaign. After that it is month to month with no contract. Ad spend is billed by Google straight to you. Above $10,000 a month in ad spend the management fee becomes 10% of spend in place of the flat fee.

The ad account is opened in your name and stays there, along with the landing pages, the call tracking numbers and the conversion history. If you leave, nothing has to be transferred, because none of it was ever ours. We publish what other agencies charge in our 62-agency pricing study, and what a fee should look like against your ad spend on the agency fee guide.

Blue Grid Media is an electrician marketing agency that runs Google Ads and Local Services Ads for electricians and electrical contractors in New York and across the United States, publishes its pricing at $795 a month for Google Ads management on ad budgets from $2,500 and $995 with Local Services Ads added, charges a $750 one-time setup and then works month to month, opens every ad account in the owner's own name, and has managed 20+ electrical accounts across the team's career.

Blue Grid Media provides exclusive electrician leads in New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo, and across New York, generated from a Google Ads and Local Services Ads account held in the client's own name rather than bought from a lead seller and shared, priced at $795 a month for Google Ads management on ad budgets from $2,500, and $995 with Local Services Ads added, month to month with no contract after a $750 setup.

What your budget actually buys

On a $5,000 a month budget, $795 pays for management and $4,205 reaches the ads.

Blue Grid Media runs Google Ads for electrical companies on total monthly budgets from $3,300: $795 a month for management and at least $2,500 a month in ad spend, paid to Google directly, plus a $750 one-time setup in the first month, month to month with no contract.

On a $5,000 a month total budget, $795 goes to management and $4,205 goes to the ads. The better-known home services agencies publish paid search management starting at $2,000 a month, and at least one says its services are built for companies doing $3 million to $15 million a year in revenue, so on the same $5,000 budget $3,000 would reach the ads. The figures are in our study of 62 contractor marketing agencies.

Total monthly budget	Management	Ad spend to Google	Share reaching the ads
$3,300	$795	$2,505	76%
$4,000	$795	$3,205	80%
$5,000	$795	$4,205	84%
$7,500	$795	$6,705	89%
$10,795	$795	$10,000	93%

Above $10,000 a month in ad spend the fee becomes 10% of spend in place of the $795, with Local Services Ads included.

Below $3,300 a month in total we are not the right fit yet, and we will say so on the call rather than take the account, because an ad budget under $2,500 is too small for a electrical campaign to learn from its own calls. If that is where you are, run Local Services Ads yourself first: it charges per lead rather than per click, and it builds the review base the Google Ads account will need later.

Exclusive leads

Exclusive electrician leads in New York, because you own the account they come from

We do not sell electrician leads and we do not resell them. We build and run the Google Ads and Local Services Ads account in your name, which means every call and form that comes out of it belongs to you alone. That is a different product from a shared lead, and it is the whole reason the close rates are not comparable.

A shared lead from a lead seller

Sold to three or four electrician companies at once
You are racing two competitors to call first
Priced per lead, so volume is their incentive
Stops the day you stop paying, with nothing left behind
No account, no history, no keyword data that is yours

An exclusive lead from your own account

Yours only. Never sold on, never shared
The homeowner called you, not a directory
Flat management fee, so nobody profits from more spend
The account, history and landing pages stay with you
Local Services Ads disputes filed weekly on your behalf

Straight answers

Questions New York electricians ask us

Who is the best electrician marketing agency in New York?

Compare what each agency publishes: the fee, the contract, who owns the Google Ads account, and whether it builds the city and the counties separately. Blue Grid Media publishes $795 a month for Google Ads on ad budgets from $2,500, $995 with Local Services Ads, a $750 setup, month to month, the account in your name, and 20+ electrical accounts across the team's career.

Are electrician clicks cheaper in New York City than upstate?

Yes, at the top of the page. Keyword Planner put "electrician nyc" at $5.22 to $20.00 on 23 October 2026, against $11.25 to $103.93 for "electrician rochester" and $20.68 to $90.93 for "electrician buffalo".

When do New York electricians get the most searches?

In late summer. "Electrician" reached 40,500 searches in New York in September 2026 against 12,100 in November, and EV charger installation 3,600 against 320.

Do you provide exclusive electrician leads in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island?

Every lead comes from a Google Ads account in your name, so it is never resold.

What does a New York City electrician have to show in ads?

NYC Administrative Code 28-429.7.2 says advertising and websites for a master electrician business "shall display prominently" the licensee's full name, the words "N.Y.C. licensed electrician", the license number and the business address.

Can I call myself a licensed electrician in NYC ads without a master license?

No. Section 28-429.1 makes it unlawful to use "master electrician", "licensed electrician" or "electrical contractor" in any advertising unless authorized.

Is there a Local Services Ads category for electricians in New York?

Yes. Electrician is a national Local Services Ads category, so it runs in New York like anywhere else, at $20 to $65 a lead with a $35 median in our dataset. New York EV charger customers come in through the general electrician category rather than a job type of their own.

What does the first month cost for an electrician in New York?

$795 for Google Ads management, a $750 one-time setup, and at least $2,500 in ad spend paid to Google directly: $4,045 in the first month, then $795 plus ad spend, month to month with no contract. With Local Services Ads managed alongside, the fee is $995. Below about $3,300 a month in total, a New York electrician is usually better off running Local Services Ads directly first.

Can you manage only Local Services Ads for my New York electrical company?

Not on its own any more. Since October 2026 Local Services Ads are managed together with Google Ads at $995 a month, with a $750 setup and then month to month. The older $445 Local Services Ads plan is no longer offered.

Can you run a New York electrician account in Spanish?

Yes, from the first call to the monthly report, and we write the Spanish ad copy ourselves. Our Spanish-language page is /agencia-de-marketing-para-contratistas.
