Challenges & Goals

UK Solar Services had previously relied heavily on direct sales as a means to grow its sales channel, so had not previously tried a digital marketing approach.

 

Maple Forest would need to start from scratch with a new Google Ads account and conduct extensive keyword research into the top search terms that their target market would be searching for;

> Inverter replacements
> Air source heat pumps
> Service and maintenance
> Solar battery storage

 

Our goals were to quickly learn this landscape and achieve low-cost targeted lead generation activity, which resulted in website enquiries, new projects and revenue for the business.

Our Strategy

First, we created their Google Ads and Google Analytics accounts and implemented the relevant tracking codes. We performed extensive keyword research based on UK Solar Services Ltd’s core services and structured the campaigns by service.

 

We tested the website form submissions and the tracking tags so that we could clearly attribute the lead enquiries and quickly determine which of our campaigns and keywords brought them in.

 

As the campaigns completed their learning phases and the bid strategy settled we began to receive our first lead enquiries through the UK Solar Services website. The initial cost-per-lead (CPL) was high, however, we optimised the keyword bids and keyword match-types to both increase the website equities and also to improve and reduce the cost-per-lead.
