Ad spend with no mark-up

12 months

Minimum monthly term

You can spend a full day installing panels, then find your phone full of enquiries that go nowhere. Some callers want free advice. Others want a £200 repair when you need profitable installation work. Meanwhile, a competitor appears when a serious buyer searches for solar panels, batteries or commercial solar.

Google Ads puts your business in front of that buyer now. But clicks alone do not pay for scaffolding, labour or stock. We manage the adverts, search terms, locations, landing pages, calls and forms together, so your budget works towards jobs you actually want.

The problem

What is costing Solar Installers work right now

Clicks With No Solar Jobs

Your account may show visits and low cost per click, yet produce no surveys or quotes. DIY searches, battery advice and people outside your area can quietly consume the budget you meant for installation work.

Audit search terms and block unsuitable clicks immediately.

One Page For Everything

Sending every search to your homepage makes visitors hunt for answers. Someone searching for battery storage should not need to find it beside panel cleaning, repairs and commercial work.

Build focused pages for your highest-value solar services.

Missed Calls During Installations

A serious buyer may call while you are on a roof or testing an inverter. If they reach voicemail, they can contact the next installer before you finish the job.

Add an AI receptionist that answers and texts details.

The result

What changes once it is live

More Relevant Enquiries

Your adverts appear for the services you choose, in the places you cover. Searchers reach a page about their actual need, whether that is battery storage, PV installation or commercial solar.

Fewer Wasted Clicks

Exact keywords and negative keywords remove searches for courses, jobs, DIY kits and unsuitable areas. Your budget stays closer to people who could become customers.

Clearer Job Decisions

Call and form tracking shows what happened after the click. You can see which campaigns created surveys, quotes and completed work, rather than judging success by traffic alone.

One trade, the full picture

Everything we do for solar installers

The website, the search rankings and the paid clicks are one system, not three purchases. Each has its own page, written for solar installers.

01

Show your business when solar buyers are ready

Google Ads appears at the point someone searches for help. It reaches people looking for a solar PV installer, battery storage quote or EV charger integration, rather than people casually scrolling past a post.

That timing matters for urgent and planned work. A failed inverter or battery fault needs a fast response. A full solar installation may take weeks of research. We build campaigns around both types of search, then match each advert to the service requested. Start by listing the three jobs you most want more of.

  • Target searches for solar PV installation and battery storage quotes.
  • Create separate campaigns for solar thermal, EV chargers and monitoring.
  • Advertise commercial solar to businesses searching for larger systems.
  • Use local wording for Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Durham.
  • Show repair and maintenance adverts only when those jobs are profitable.
  • Write adverts around MCS Certified, RECC, NICEIC, HIES or TrustMark credentials.

02

Stop common Google Ads waste before it starts

Most wasted spend starts with loose targeting. An advert for solar installation can appear for training courses, jobs, DIY panels, cheap parts or people seeking a solar calculator. You pay for the visit, even though the searcher was never going to hire you.

We use exact keywords, clear locations and negative keywords. Negative keywords are words that block unsuitable searches. We also send every search to a relevant page, not a generic homepage. Review the services you do not want advertised before we build the account.

  • Use exact phrases such as "solar installer near me" where suitable.
  • Block searches for courses, jobs, DIY kits, used panels and spare parts.
  • Exclude towns outside your travel area and areas you cannot serve profitably.
  • Separate domestic, commercial and maintenance searches into clear campaigns.
  • Stop adverts for low-value panel cleaning if installation work is the priority.
  • Replace homepage links with pages that answer the searched service.

More detail

More on Google Ads for solar installers

The rest of what solar installers ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

A click is only useful when the visitor quickly sees that you handle their job, cover their area and can be trusted in their home. Our landing pages give each major service its own clear route to a quote. They remove guesswork before the customer fills in a form or calls.

The page can explain roof suitability, battery choices, MCS certification and the next step without forcing people to search your whole website. It also gives you useful information before the visit, such as postcode, property type, annual energy use and whether scaffolding may be needed. Send us your strongest proof and service priorities.

  • Show clear quote buttons for solar PV, batteries and commercial systems.
  • Display service areas, accreditations and genuine installation photographs.
  • Explain what affects price without promising an unsuitable fixed quote.
  • Ask for postcode, roof type, current system and preferred contact time.
  • Place click-to-call buttons where mobile visitors can use them quickly.
  • Create separate pages for high-value battery and commercial enquiries.

A report full of clicks cannot tell you whether an advert paid for itself. We track calls and forms from the first visit through to your sales notes. That shows which search terms produce enquiries, surveys, quotes and completed work.

Call tracking gives paid campaigns their own numbers, while form tracking records the source of each submission. You can mark a lead as unsuitable, quoted, won or lost. Use that information in our monthly review to put more budget behind the searches that create worthwhile work.

  • Record calls from Google Ads separately from normal website calls.
  • Track forms for battery storage, PV, commercial solar and EV chargers.
  • Capture the search term and advert that led to each enquiry.
  • Review missed calls, poor-fit leads, quotes and won jobs together.
  • Move budget away from clicks that create advice requests or poor leads.
  • Keep a simple job outcome record for useful monthly decisions.

Our solar installer Google Ads management costs £449 a month, excluding your advertising budget. We manage the account, test the adverts and protect the route from search to enquiry. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google. We never add a mark-up.

This is PPC for solar installers, meaning you pay Google when someone clicks an advert. The monthly fee covers the work around those clicks, including campaign decisions, landing page improvements and reporting. Ask for a quote with your target towns, services and realistic monthly budget.

  • Build and manage campaigns around profitable solar services.
  • Optimise bids and budgets as useful search data builds up.
  • Test advert wording, calls to action and landing page routes.
  • Add negative keywords to block unsuitable and wasteful searches.
  • Improve landing pages when visitors fail to call or enquire.
  • Hold a monthly reporting call focused on leads and job quality.

A paid lead is most useful when someone answers quickly. Solar installers often miss calls during roof surveys, cable runs and electrical work. The AI Receptionist answers in your business name, takes job details, checks what the caller needs and texts you straight away.

It costs £169 a month and works alongside Google Ads. It does not replace your judgement or quote work for you. It makes sure a serious battery, PV or commercial caller receives a response while you finish the job. Decide which questions the receptionist should ask before launch.

  • Answer missed calls 24/7 in your business name.
  • Ask for postcode, service needed and property or business type.
  • Qualify battery, PV, EV charger and commercial solar callers.
  • Send the call details to your mobile by text immediately.
  • Give callers clear next steps instead of leaving voicemail.
  • Add Care plus Receptionist for £199 a month, saving £29.

Directories such as Checkatrade and Bark can put you in front of people asking for work. The same request may also go to several other firms. You then compete before the first conversation, while fees or credits can continue whether the job suits you or not.

With Google Ads, your advert sends the searcher to your page and your phone number. That enquiry is yours to handle. You choose the towns, services and budget. Directories can still have a place, but paid search gives you a route you control. Compare your last directory lead with its final job value.

  • Send each paid searcher to your own branded service page.
  • Keep the enquiry details instead of sharing the lead with rivals.
  • Choose whether to advertise batteries, PV, commercial or maintenance work.
  • Control service areas from Newcastle to Blyth and nearby towns.
  • Pause campaigns when your installation diary is full.
  • Build a direct source of enquiries that does not depend on one directory.

We start with a planning call, your service priorities and the towns you cover. We check your current website, write the campaigns, build or improve landing pages, add tracking and launch once the route is ready. Leads can arrive within days of the account going live, not only after months.

This fits the ACCC Framework. Ads attract the right search. Landing pages convert visits into enquiries. Tracking captures what happened. Reviews, useful content and follow-up compound the results over time. To begin, send your service list, coverage area, accreditations and a recent example of a good job.

  • Days 1 to 5: agree profitable jobs, locations, budget and exclusions.
  • Days 6 to 15: build campaigns, adverts, pages and tracking.
  • Days 16 to 30: review search terms, calls, forms and early lead quality.
  • Use Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and nearby target towns.
  • Add reviews, case studies and useful pages as the account develops.
  • Request a quote with your preferred services and monthly ad budget today.

FAQ

Solar Installers ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a solar installer.

The £449 monthly fee covers campaign planning, advert writing, keyword targeting, location settings, negative keyword work, bid and budget optimisation, advert testing, landing page optimisation and monthly reporting. We also review calls and forms so decisions are based on lead quality. Your advertising budget is separate. You pay that directly to Google, and we never mark it up.
There is no useful figure for every installer. Your budget depends on the towns you cover, the services you want and the value of each job. A battery or full PV installation can justify more competition than a small maintenance visit. We help set a sensible starting budget, then adjust it using calls, forms, surveys and job outcomes. Every penny of ad spend goes directly to Google.
Leads can arrive within days once the account, adverts, landing pages and tracking are live. That does not mean every early enquiry will be a good job. The first weeks show which searches produce calls and forms, and which need blocking. We use that early information to protect the budget and improve the campaign. You do not need to wait months for search rankings before testing demand.
Not reliably. An advert can win the click, but a weak page can lose the customer. A general homepage may not show your battery service, qualifications, locations, proof or next step clearly enough. We build or improve focused landing pages for the services you advertise. They include useful price signals, trust points, clear calls and forms that ask for information you need.
We give paid campaigns their own call tracking numbers and record the source of form submissions. We can see the search and advert that started the enquiry. You then tell us whether the lead was unsuitable, quoted, won or lost. We review those outcomes with you. This connects advertising activity to real sales decisions, instead of treating clicks or page views as the final result.
Advertise jobs with enough value and demand to support your costs. These may include solar PV installation, battery storage, commercial solar and EV charger integration. Solar thermal can also suit the right area and customer type. Monitoring, export setup, maintenance and cleaning may be worth advertising when they lead to larger work. We separate campaigns so lower-value services do not consume the budget meant for installations.
Only if you want that work and can respond quickly. People searching for an inverter fault, battery problem or system failure often need help sooner than someone planning a new installation. Emergency searches can be more competitive and may produce smaller jobs. We can create a separate campaign with its own budget, call handling and service area. That keeps urgent work from confusing your planned installation campaigns.
Yes. Battery buyers often have a different reason for searching. They may already own panels, want more use from their generation or need help with changing energy use. A dedicated battery page can explain compatibility, storage size, export setup and the survey process. We can target battery storage searches separately and report whether they create suitable enquiries, rather than hiding them inside a general solar campaign.
Yes, but commercial campaigns need different wording and questions. A business may search for commercial solar panels, warehouse solar or a larger system quote. The landing page should explain your commercial experience, survey process, likely information needed and relevant qualifications. We can ask for premises type, location and approximate usage. That helps separate serious commercial opportunities from domestic searches and general research.
You should only claim qualifications you hold and can evidence. MCS Certified, RECC, NICEIC, HIES and TrustMark can help customers assess an installer, depending on the work and scheme involved. We can place genuine accreditations clearly in the advert and landing page. We will not invent or imply approval. Send us your current certificates, scheme details and any rules that affect your claims.
Checkatrade and Bark can send you requests, but a request may also reach several other businesses. Google Ads sends the searcher to your own page, phone number and enquiry form. You control the service, town and budget, and the lead is not automatically shared with three competitors. Directories may still support your marketing, but Ads gives you a separate route that you can track from click to job.
We inspect the actual searches, locations, adverts, calls and forms. We can add words that block unsuitable searches, remove poor towns, change advert wording and improve the landing page. If a service is attracting low-value work, we can reduce or pause it. You also need to mark lead outcomes accurately. That gives us evidence for budget changes instead of relying on guesswork.
Not always. If your current website has clear services, useful proof, working forms and good mobile pages, we may improve what is already there. If it sends every visitor to one vague homepage, we may recommend focused landing pages. We can build those pages as part of the work. A full website build is available separately, but it is not required for every Google Ads campaign.
Yes. We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne and can manage campaigns across the UK. Our North East service areas include Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. We only target places you can serve profitably. Tell us your travel limits, survey area and any towns where you already have strong demand.
The monthly services have a 12 month minimum term, then continue monthly. Website and related project work is 50% on signature and 50% on launch. Monthly billing starts at launch. Google ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google. Modules can be added at any time. All prices exclude VAT. We confirm the campaign scope, landing page work and payment details before starting.
