The ad competes on price alone
If your creative says the same thing as every other installer, the only thing left for a homeowner to compare is the number at the bottom of the quote. You end up in a race you cannot win.
What we do: put the real post-rebate figure and what is actually included into the ad, so the enquiry starts from value rather than from price.
Nobody explains the rebate properly
Between STCs and the state programs, most households have no idea what they would actually pay. That confusion is the single biggest thing stopping them enquiring.
What we do: lead with the rebate maths in plain language, and use the genuine fact that these programs step down over time as a real reason to move now.
Batteries get bolted onto the panel ads
A battery buyer usually already has solar and is watching their bill. Showing them a panel-install ad wastes the impression and drags your whole account average down.
What we do: run batteries as their own campaign with their own creative, audiences and exclusions.
The follow-up stops after one call
Solar has a long consideration window. One unanswered call on day one and the lead is written off, while they are still actively shopping for two more weeks.
What we do: route leads instantly and keep an SMS and email sequence running across the whole window they are actually deciding in.
