How long before Local SEO brings in leads?
First movement usually shows inside
6 to 12 weeks: better map positions, more calls from your listing. Meaningful, steady lead flow typically builds over
3 to 6 months and keeps
compounding after that. If you need leads straight away, start with
paid ads alongside it.
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the work of getting your business showing up on Google Maps and in the local results when homeowners near you search. It's your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your local listings all working together.
It covers the regular side too: getting your website ranking in Google's standard results.
For an installer, the map layer is where most of the calls come from, and our content work feeds both.
Do I need a new website first?
No. We work with the site you have, fix what the audit finds, and only recommend bigger changes if really needed.
Which areas can I show up in?
Map rankings are strongest near your base and build outward through reviews and area pages for the towns you want work in. On the call we'll look at your patch and your competitors and tell you honestly where you can win first.
I already have a Google Business Profile. Isn't that enough?
Having a listing and having a listing that wins the map are different things. Most installer profiles were set up once and never touched again: a few old photos, half the services missing, questions unanswered. Google rewards active, complete, review-rich profiles, which is exactly why an untouched one is beatable.
Can't I just optimise my Google Business Profile myself?
The basics, absolutely, and we'd encourage it. But winning a competitive map is ongoing work: keeping the profile active, photos and posts going up, reviews coming in and replied to, and the website and listings behind it all pulling the same way. It's a monthly discipline, not a Saturday job, and that's the part we take off your plate.
What does it cost?
Every solar installation company is different, so the price depends on how much work your situation actually needs: how many
new pages,
rewrites,
citations and
backlinks it takes to win your area.
We scope that on a
free consultation, but usually it's a minimum of
€[X] a month.
No lock-in contracts, so you can cancel anytime.
I've been burned by an SEO agency before. What makes SolarScale Digital different?
We genuinely care about the relationship with every client, because we understand what local businesses mean in Ireland. The three things that make us different are:
1. We work with solar installers only.
2. We focus on making you more revenue, not getting you more web traffic.
3. You talk directly to the person doing the work, not an account manager.
