When Homeowners Hire an Electrician, They Need Your License Public

Search Claude: 'Licensed electrician [your city].' Screenshot the result. Note which contractors appear and what the AI cites: their license, their insurance, their service area, their phone. That is the comparison homeowners use when hiring.

Your license number is only useful if it's public. A homeowner can't verify you're licensed unless they can find your license type and number somewhere they can see it. Your Google Business profile, your website, or a state licensing directory are the places that matter.

What homeowners check before calling

• Your license type and number: 'Licensed Electrician, [State] #12345'
• Your insurance: 'Licensed and insured' means nothing without proof. Name your carrier or link to a certificate.
• Your service area: which zip codes do you actually serve?
• Your phone number: same number on Google Business and website?
