How Brightside Electric Went From 8 To 31 EV Charger Jobs A Month
Brightside Electric had the technical expertise to install EV chargers and complete high-value panel upgrades — but virtually no digital marketing or electrician lead generation system. The business depended almost entirely on referrals, was missing after-hours electrical calls, and was invisible for some of Austin's fastest-growing EV-related searches.
Brightside Electric
EV Charger & Panel Upgrade Specialist
From $38K to $94K monthly revenue
Challenge & Our Solution
Brightside was 100% referral dependent with no Google Ads for electricians, Meta Ads, or Local Services Ads. Despite Austin's rapidly growing EV market, the company was completing only 8 EV charger jobs per month. After-hours electrical calls also went directly to voicemail once the office closed, leaving high-intent emergency jobs to competitors.
AICOADS built a complete electrical contractor marketing and lead generation system around Brightside's highest-margin services — dedicated EV charger and panel-upgrade Google Ads, an 11.3% converting landing page, Meta Ads, Local Services Ads, 24/7 AI call recovery, and targeted B2B outreach to Austin property managers through Apollo.io.
THE SYSTEM
What We Built
A connected electrician marketing and lead follow-up system designed around Brightside's highest-margin electrical services and Austin's growing EV demand.
EV Charger Google Ads
Dedicated campaigns targeted high-intent Austin searches for EV charger installation and EV charger leads instead of sending every service into one broad electrical campaign.
11.3% EV Landing Page
A mobile-first landing page featured Level 1 vs Level 2 charger comparisons, Tesla and Rivian charger visuals, state rebate information, and focused conversion paths.
Meta Ads For EV Owners
Meta campaigns targeted Austin homeowners with EV ownership or purchase intent. Retargeting followed site visitors for 30 days and generated 22% of EV charger leads at a $38 cost per lead.
AI Voice Agent
Go High LevelAI voice automation answered after-hours calls, identified active electrical hazards, dispatched emergencies, and booked non-urgent jobs directly into the calendar.
B2B Property Outreach
Apollo.io was used to build a list of 340 Austin property management companies. A six-step LinkedIn and cold email sequence generated three commercial contracts averaging $28,000 each.

In their own words.
“We knew Austin's EV market was growing but we had no way to reach those customers. AICOADS built us a system that generates EV charger jobs every single day — and the commercial property contracts they landed through outreach were completely unexpected. We've had to hire two more electricians to keep up.”
