The real problem

WHY ARE YOUR SOLAR LEADS COSTING TOO MUCH AND CONVERTING TOO LITTLE?

01

Lead Aggregators Sell the Same Lead to Five Competitors

Third-party solar lead generation platforms sell each enquiry to multiple installers simultaneously. You compete on price with three or four other companies for a lead that was never specifically interested in your business. Owning your own digital marketing means owning your own leads — enquiries that come directly to you and are not shared with the competition.

02

Generic Ad Campaigns Attract Unqualified Enquiries

Broad solar search terms attract homeowners at every stage of consideration — from “what is solar” researchers to ready-to-install buyers. Running one generic campaign for both wastes budget on early-stage researchers. We build separate campaigns for different intent stages and use qualifying copy and landing pages to filter for homeowners who are genuinely close to a purchase decision.

03

Educational Content Is Your Highest-Leverage Channel

Solar has a 2 to 6 month consideration cycle. Homeowners research ROI, payback periods, system sizing, and battery options before requesting a quote. Content that answers those specific questions ranks for the searches they make during research — and keeps your brand visible and authoritative throughout the full decision journey before a competitor captures the quote request.

04

National Brands Leave Local Search Gaps

National solar brands target broad awareness campaigns. They leave significant gaps in specific local searches: “solar installer [city]”, “solar company [suburb]”, “solar installation [region]”. These hyper-local terms are where independent NZ installers consistently outperform national brands — because local presence, credentials, and genuine NZ installation experience matter to homeowners making a significant investment.

FAQ

Questions about solar digital marketing we get asked a lot

What digital marketing works best for NZ solar installers?
SEO for long-term organic leads, Google Ads for immediate qualified traffic, and educational content that keeps your brand visible throughout the 2 to 6 month consideration cycle. All three together produce the strongest consistent pipeline of qualified homeowner enquiries.
How do you qualify solar leads through digital marketing?
Through specific keyword targeting and qualifying copy. We target searches from homeowners actively considering solar — not renters or early-stage researchers. Ad copy and landing pages that reference system sizes and approximate investment levels naturally qualify serious buyers and filter out tyre-kickers before they reach your sales team.
How do you compete with national solar brands in Google Ads?
National brands target broad awareness. Local installers win on hyper-specific searches: “solar installation [city]”, “solar installer [suburb]”. We target those specific, high-intent local searches where national brands are less competitive and local trust signals — reviews, suburb presence, local credentials — convert better than national brand advertising.
How long does a homeowner take to make a solar decision?
Typically 2 to 6 months from initial research to purchase. This makes educational content and SEO particularly valuable — they keep your brand visible throughout the full consideration journey. We build remarketing alongside search campaigns so homeowners see your brand consistently during their decision process.
Do government solar incentives affect how we should market?
Yes. When incentive programmes are available, we update content and ad copy to feature them — they are powerful conversion drivers. We also build evergreen educational content around ROI and energy savings that converts independently of incentive cycles, so your marketing remains effective when schemes change.
