WHAT IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN OUR SEO FOR SOLAR INSTALLERS?
Installation Keyword Strategy
We map every high-intent search term in your area — from “solar installation auckland” to “solar installer [suburb]” to “solar company nz”. Commercial-intent terms targeting homeowners who are researching installation, not just curious about solar technology generally.
Educational Content Hub
Content targeting the research questions homeowners search during the consideration cycle: “solar panel payback period nz”, “how much does solar cost nz”, “best time to install solar nz”. Ranks for long-tail queries, builds your authority as an expert, and keeps your brand visible throughout the full journey.
Google Business Profile Optimisation
Full GBP optimisation for local solar installation searches. Installation types listed, completed project photos added, accreditations and installer credentials featured, reviews managed. Your GBP captures homeowners searching for a local solar installer in your service area.
City + Region Landing Pages
Dedicated pages for each city and region you install in — “Solar Installation Auckland”, “Solar Installer Wellington”, “Solar Company Christchurch”. Each targets the specific local searches that national brands underperform in, and where local presence and installer credentials are decisive conversion factors.
System + Service Pages
Dedicated pages for your key system types and services — residential solar, commercial solar, battery storage, solar hot water. Each targets the specific search terms homeowners use when researching their specific installation need, not generic “solar panels nz” terms.
Transparent Reporting
Monthly reports on GBP calls, organic enquiries, content performance, and keyword rankings. Tied to qualified lead volume and estimated installation pipeline value — not impressions graphs that do not connect to your business.

Keyword Map + Content Strategy

GBP + On-Page Execution
Full GBP optimisation and on-page SEO across your installation and city pages. Installer credentials, accreditations, and completed project photos featured prominently. Every page designed to build the trust that converts a homeowner researching online into a genuine quote request.
Educational Content Production + Authority Building
Educational articles and guides targeting the research-phase queries homeowners search during the consideration cycle. Authority building from relevant NZ energy and property publications. Each piece compounds your brand visibility and authority throughout the full decision journey.
