Split the inlet from the standby unit
A cord-and-interlock visit and a whole-home generator are different permits and different prices.
How a generator installer should write a website. City guides cover winter outages and hurricane, Texas, and Gulf Coast markets.

A generator page fails when it reads like a general electrician who added one sentence. A portable inlet with an interlock, and a whole-home standby unit with an automatic transfer switch, are different equipment, different permits, and different days. Split them. The standby job is a pad, a transfer switch, a load calculation, and usually a fuel line. The inlet is a smaller electrical visit. Publishing one price for both is how the quote falls apart in the driveway.
There is rarely a state license with the words generator installer on it. The wiring is electrical. The fuel line is often plumbing, gas fitting, or a mechanical classification. Read both boards. Say on the page which permit you pull and which licensed person pulls the other. Cities add a setback, a noise rule, and an inspection that runs the unit. A manufacturer dealer listing is a private agreement, not a license, and it is not something this site enrolls you in. Do not imply a brand trained you if it did not.
The search happens when an outage is in the forecast. In a cold market that is ice, wind, and a house whose furnace and sump are useless without power. On the Gulf and in Florida it is hurricane season and the weeks after the storm. The form should ask whether they want an inlet or a standby unit, what fuel is already at the house, and whether anyone in the house depends on power for medical equipment. You can size the unit after a load calculation. You cannot promise a next-week install from 'we lost power last year.' A free site will not pull the permit. It keeps the request, with the address, off a shared lead form.

Electrical for the switch. Fuel piping is often a second credential. Say which one you hold.
The pad, the setback, the transfer switch, and a test run are normal. Ask the permit counter before you print a date.
Natural gas, propane, and a house that needs power for medical equipment change whether you can take the job.

Start with the cities where a specific local page matters most, then use the full list. Each city guide covers the housing, the weather, and the jobs to name. The generator installation business still has to be true. The page cannot invent a license or a service area you do not drive.
