AI visibility for solar installers

When a homeowner asks AI which solar installer to trust, be the name it gives.

Panels, batteries, rebates, who’s legit. Homeowners now ask ChatGPT and Gemini, and it names one or two installers, as fact. We find out whether that’s you, do the work that makes it you, and turn the attention into booked site assessments.

Measured across
01The stakes

Solar buyers have stopped searching. They’ve started asking.

Solar buyers are wary. They’ve heard about the cowboys and the cold callers. So they ask AI who’s reputable, and it gives them one name. The installer it leaves out never gets the chance to quote.

One answer, not ten quotes.

The engine names an installer, not a page. Everyone else in your area is silent.

It compounds.

The installer AI trusts this quarter is the one it recommends next quarter.

It’s invisible to you.

The system sold by someone else never shows up in your reports.

02The problem

You’ve got the accreditation and the reviews. So why doesn’t AI mention you?

Ranking for “solar installer near me” isn’t the same as being the answer. If the model doesn’t know your business well enough to name it with confidence, it names someone else.

It’s an uncomfortable position: paying for visibility and not knowing whether you’re visible where it now counts.

A good installer shouldn’t disappear because a machine hasn’t been told they exist. That’s fixable, and it’s what we do.

04What you get

What changes when AI knows your name

Named in the answer.

When a homeowner nearby asks who to trust, the AI names you, and says why.

Buyers who arrive already trusting you.

They’ve been told you’re the reputable one. The quote is a confirmation, not a race to the bottom on price.

Assessments that book themselves.

An AI assistant on your site answers questions about systems, batteries and the process, takes the details and books the site assessment. Including at nine at night, with the power bill open.

Reporting you can read.

Mentions, citations and booked calls. Not a spreadsheet of positions.

05Who you’ll work with

We’ve spent twenty years getting businesses found. Then the rules changed.

We know what it’s like to pay for marketing and not be sure what it’s doing. So we do the work before we meet: your business goes through the engines before the call, and you see exactly what came back. Nick has done search for twenty years, back to the early web. Terry has spent more than twenty years in media and communications. Between us we’ve watched every shift in how people find a business. This is the biggest one.

06The plan
Found to booked

The Found-to-Booked Method

Four steps. Getting found is the first half. We’re judged on booked assessments.

Step 01

Audit

Where you appear and where you vanish, engine by engine, on the questions homeowners ask before choosing an installer.

Step 02

Plan

A short, ordered list of fixes, ranked by what each is worth rather than by what is quickest to invoice.

Step 03

Get found

Entity work, structure, sources and corroboration, so a model is comfortable stating your name as fact.

Step 04

Convert

Pages, offers and an AI assistant that answers, qualifies and books, so enquiries land in your diary instead of with the next installer.

What we ask of you

About an hour at the start, and a yes or no on each fix. We handle the rest.

Our commitment

Whatever you decide after the audit, the findings are yours to keep.

08Two versions of next year
Version A

If nothing changes

AI keeps naming the same big installer. Each answer makes the next one more likely. Your lead costs creep up, and your reports keep saying everything is fine.

Version B

If AI knows your name

Homeowners arrive having already chosen you. The diary fills without more ad spend. You know, engine by engine, where you stand.

The difference is a few months of the right work. The audit shows you which.

11FAQ

Questions

Isn’t it early to worry about AI search?

Around a third of searches now go through an AI assistant, and the share rises every month. Early isn’t the risk. Late is: the businesses cited now are the ones the models keep recommending.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. Thirty minutes, no obligation, and the findings are yours whether or not we work together. There’s no hard pitch at the end. If you’re already the named answer, we’ll tell you. Rather look first on your own? Run the free AI visibility checker.

We already pay for SEO. Does this replace it?

No. It sits on top. Traditional SEO climbs a page of ten links; generative engines write an answer and cite a handful of sources. Different mechanics, and your existing foundations help. If those foundations need work, that’s what our SEO agency in Vancouver does.

What does it cost?

Every business is different, so we set pricing after your free audit, once we’ve looked at your site and your market. Plans are month to month with no lock-in, and the audit is yours to keep either way.

How long until we see a difference?

Some fixes show within weeks. Consistent, durable citation across engines usually takes two to three months of steady work.

What do I need for the call?

Your website address, and one or two phrases a customer might type into ChatGPT to find a business like yours.

What if I need to reschedule?

The confirmation email has a link. It takes about twenty seconds.
