Electrician Schema
Schema.org `Electrician` structured data type — a LocalBusiness subtype extending HomeAndConstructionBusiness — used by electrical contractors to mark up their business type, services, geographic coverage, certification body membership, and ratings.
Definition
`Electrician` is a schema.org type within the LocalBusiness hierarchy: `LocalBusiness → HomeAndConstructionBusiness → Electrician`. Using the specific `Electrician` type rather than generic `LocalBusiness` provides greater semantic precision for Google\'s understanding of the business category. Key properties for electrician schema: (1) **`@type: "Electrician"`** — the specific type declaration; (2) **`hasOfferCatalog`** — `OfferCatalog` with `itemListElement` listing each electrical service as `Offer/Service` objects: consumer unit replacement, EV charger installation, EICR, emergency electrician, full rewiring, additional sockets/lighting, smart home wiring, PAT testing; (3) **`areaServed`** — array of `Place` objects with `name` properties for each geographic area covered; (4) **`memberOf`** — certification body memberships: `{"@type": "Organization", "name": "NICEIC Approved Contractor"}`, `{"@type": "Organization", "name": "NAPIT Registered Member"}`, `{"@type": "Organization", "name": "ELECSA Registered"}` — these are major E-E-A-T signals; (5) **`openingHoursSpecification`** — with 24/7 hours for emergency call-out if available; (6) **`aggregateRating`** — review aggregate from Google or third-party review sources; (7) **`address`** or **`areaServed`** — for mobile electricians without a walk-in premises, `areaServed` without a street address prevents incorrect local pack positioning. All electrician schema must be server-rendered in the initial HTML response — JavaScript-injected schema is not reliably processed by Google\'s HTML parser.
Why it matters for SEO
Electrician schema helps Google understand the business type, services offered, certification status, and geographic coverage — enabling rich results eligibility (business panel, knowledge panel, local pack rich results), semantic matching for specific service queries ("EV charger installer near me", "NICEIC registered electrician Leeds"), and AI Overview citation for electrician-topic queries.
