Should I run ads before my website is finished?
No. Solar buyers compare equipment, warranties, financing and process before they call, and a paid click cannot survive a site that skips all of that. We build the site and the education pages first, then add ads once there are real pages to send traffic to.
Do solar installers qualify for Google Local Services Ads?
Local Services Ads cover a specific list of home trades and solar is not offered in every market. We check your market and license type instead of assuming. If you qualify, we handle the screening and profile. If not, the budget goes into search and Meta campaigns.
Who pays for the ad spend?
You do, on your own card, straight to the platform. You see exactly what was spent and you can raise, lower or stop it. We manage the campaigns, the keywords and the landing pages. Local ads are an optional add-on, not a required part of the work.
How fast will I know if the ads are working?
Clicks and calls show up quickly. Signed systems do not, because solar shopping runs long. We watch call and form volume in the first weeks, then look at booked consultations and contracts over a longer window before deciding what to keep running.
Can you guarantee a number of solar leads?
No, and nobody honestly can. Ad results move with utility rates, program changes, outages and how many installers are bidding in your area. Rankings cannot be guaranteed either. What we control is targeting, ad copy, landing pages and tracking, and we adjust them every week.
Are Meta ads worth it for solar?
They work best for two jobs: showing finished installs in specific neighborhoods, and reaching people who already read your how-solar-works or incentives pages. That second group is warm. For someone with a dead inverter today, search ads are the better place for the money.
Should I buy shared leads instead?
Shared leads arrive already sold to other installers, so you are racing to the phone on a homeowner who never chose you. Ads pointed at your own pages bring people who read your warranty terms and your project photos first. Those consultations are easier conversations.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
We build a demo of your new solar site before we talk, using your service area, your install photos if we can find them and the pages your buyers need. On the call we walk through it, then talk about whether local ads make sense for your market.
