A complete website rebuild from Wix to WordPress — giving a growing Wigan electrician a professional, SEO-optimised online presence built to generate leads across Greater Manchester.
Ben at B Energy Electrical Solutions had been running his electrician business across Wigan and Greater Manchester with a basic Wix template site. It looked generic, performed poorly on mobile, had almost no search visibility, and wasn't converting the enquiries his business deserved.
He needed a website that reflected the quality of his work — professional, fast, and built to rank locally. More importantly, he needed it to actually generate leads. Phone calls. Quote requests. Real business.
He came to Mako Digital to make it happen.
We audited the existing Wix site and mapped out the competitive landscape for electricians across Wigan, Bolton, Warrington and Greater Manchester. This informed our keyword strategy and site architecture — building dedicated landing pages for each core service.
We built a completely custom WordPress theme — no page builders, no bloat. A dark, professional design with video hero that stands out in a sea of generic electrician websites. Mobile-first from the ground up, with click-to-call buttons, prominent contact forms and clear service navigation.
We created dedicated service pages for commercial electrician, EV charger installation, EICR & landlord certificates, and emergency electrician — each targeting location-specific keywords with full structured data markup, FAQ schema, and local area coverage.
Domain migration from Wix, DNS configuration, SSL setup, Google Search Console and Analytics integration, sitemap submission, and ongoing performance monitoring. Everything a local business needs to hit the ground running on Google.
Moving from Wix to our new site was a game-changer. The rebuild was done in just three days, fully SEO-optimised, and the difference was immediate. Clients are commenting on it — and more importantly, we're winning more work because of it.
