How to Track Desktop Traffic for Electricians

Here’s what happens: You run an electrical business. Your website generates leads but you don’t know where they come from. You analyze your desktop traffic and discover that visitors who view your “EV charger installation” page on desktop convert at 8% while mobile is only 2%. You create a dedicated ad campaign for that service and bookings increase.

Why Desktop Traffic Matters for Electricians

Electrical work ranges from simple repairs to complex installations. Desktop traffic matters because:

• Project research. Customers research EV chargers, solar panels, and rewiring projects on larger screens.
• Commercial awareness. Business owners use desktops to find licensed electricians for facilities.
• Credential checking. Desktop users verify licenses, insurance, and reviews more thoroughly.
• Higher intent. Desktop visitors often have specific projects in mind, not just browsing.

How to Check in GA4

Here’s how to access your desktop traffic information:

1. Log into GA4 and go to Reports > Acquisition
2. Click Traffic acquisition
3. Add Device category as a dimension
4. Review the desktop row for sessions and conversions
5. Create custom events for “contact_submitted” or “quote_requested”

To gain deeper insights:

1. Use Explore > Free form
