Why Reviews Are the Highest-ROI Marketing Lever for EV Charger Installers
Compare reviews to Google Ads, leaflets, vans, or Checkatrade fees and the maths is not close. EV charging installation is a new and growing market. Customers are unfamiliar with the process and nervous about getting it right. Reviews that explain a smooth experience, correct installation, and grant handling are incredibly reassuring. Reviews are owned, permanent, and compound — paid advertising is rented and stops working the day you stop paying.

Questions From Growing Businesses
How much extra revenue can a EV charger installation business make from reviews?+
A typical ev charger installer climbing from outside the map pack into the top three sees enquiry volume roughly double. At £800 - £2,500 per installation, the maths compounds fast — and unlike paid ads, it doesn't stop when you stop paying.
How long does it take to see growth?+
Local ranking lift starts in 4-8 weeks of consistent review collection. The compounding effect — where reviews bring more customers who leave more reviews — kicks in around month 3-4.
What's the cheapest way to grow a EV charger installation business?+
Reviews. Per pound spent, nothing else comes close — and the asset you build is permanent, unlike ads or platform leads.
Should I still pay for ads or leaflets?+
Sometimes — but only after your review profile is doing its job. Paid traffic to a 12-review profile converts terribly. Paid traffic to a 60-review profile flies.
Compound growth, one review at a time.
£800 - £2,500 per installation × the extra customers that find you through better rankings = the only marketing channel that pays back forever.
