What we found

Four things cost you quotes.

  1. 01 · Paid clicks

    You pay for the click. The page loses it.

    What we found

    A Google Ads click for searches like solar Adelaide costs $20 to $27. 96 of the 246 firms we checked run Google Ads, and their sites are the slower ones, averaging 56 for mobile speed against 66 for everyone else. The median site took 7.2 seconds to show its main content on a phone. Only 8 of 244 managed Google's 2.5 seconds.

    What we build instead

    A site that scores 90 or more on a phone, so the people you pay for actually see your offer. You see the score on every preview before anything goes live.

  2. 02 · Look

    Everyone looks the same.

    What we found

    Most sites are the same template, with the same panels on the same roof and the same row of brand logos, and 102 of 246 call themselves the best, leading or most trusted. Only one in five shows its own jobs or crew on the first screen, and only 26 say their installers are their own staff.

    What we build instead

    Your installs, your vans and your people, with a design idea that's yours alone. If your own crews do the work, the site says so on the first screen.

  3. 03 · First screen

    The first screen shouts.

    What we found

    On a phone, 31 sites open with a deal, a giveaway or a rebate countdown, and 32 cover the page with a chat pop-up. Sites with a chat widget average 53 for speed against 65 without one.

    What we build instead

    One clear message and one action, Request a quote, with your phone number and reviews close by. Rebates and finance get explained properly, not shouted.

  4. 04 · Questions

    Buyers ask what it costs. Most sites make them wait.

    What we found

    South Australians search what a solar battery costs about 1,900 times a month, and ask about the battery rebate another 590 times. Fewer than a third of these sites have a savings or payback calculator. Most answer every question with Get a free quote.

    What we build instead

    Straight answers on cost, payback, rebates and which battery suits which home, written for SA and kept current, so buyers arrive at your quote form already convinced.

The first screen

Same solar firm. Different welcome.

Your platform stays

Keep your quoting, finance and review tools.

Most firms we tested already rely on tools that work, from Google reviews and SolarQuotes to finance partners and the CRM behind their quote form. We keep them. Your quote form still lands where your sales team works, finance applications still go to your partner, and your reviews keep showing, just on a site that loads before the buyer gives up.

What the site has to do

Built around how you sell.

Questions

Questions solar and batteries ask.

Straight answers on quotes, ads, rebates and rankings.
Damian HodgkissFounder

Yes. Quote requests can go to the CRM, inbox or sales tool you use today, so nothing changes for your team except getting more of them.

A faster page means more of the people you pay for see your offer instead of a loading screen. Google also rewards fast, relevant landing pages with better ad quality, which can lower what you pay per click.

Show honest guides, such as what a typical battery system costs and what changes the price, rather than countdown timers and giveaways. Buyers comparing three quotes trust firms that explain things.

Only for the ones you fit often and recommend. A few honest, detailed pages do more for buyers and for Google than a wall of logos.

Yes. Rebate and pricing pages are built so they're easy to update, and on our Care and Grow plans we keep them current for you when the rules change.

Usually about four weeks from kickoff to live, and about four hours of your time. Your homepage comes first, and you see every page on a private link before anything changes.

Not if it's done properly. We keep the pages that already bring you visitors, point every old address at its closest new page, and check nothing breaks on launch day.
