FAQ
Questions about solar installer Google Ads we get asked a lot
Is Google Ads worth it for a solar installation business?+
Yes. A residential solar installation is worth $8,000 to $25,000. A campaign that costs $150 to $300 to generate a qualified quote request is a strong return, especially when those quote requests convert to signed installations at a high rate.
How quickly will Google Ads produce quote requests?+
Days from launch. When a homeowner is ready to get solar quotes and your ad appears, they request a quote immediately if the landing page builds trust and makes the process easy. Most NZ solar installers see qualified quote requests within the first week.
What budget do I need for Google Ads as a solar installer?+
Solar installation keywords can be moderately competitive in NZ. We give a specific, honest budget recommendation based on your service area and installation targets. Book a free audit for a realistic number.
Can Google Ads help me get direct leads instead of going through aggregators?+
Yes, this is one of the strongest arguments for solar installers running Google Ads. Direct leads cost less than aggregator fees and convert at higher rates because the homeowner chose your business specifically.
Should I run Google Ads or SEO first for my solar installation business?+
SEO is critical for capturing homeowners during their long research phase. Google Ads captures homeowners at the bottom of the funnel, ready to quote right now. Both together dominate the full buyer journey from first research to signed contract.
