Choosing a marketing agency for a solar or renewable energy company
What to ask a marketing agency before hiring them for a solar or renewable energy company, and why understanding subsidy schemes and payback math matters.
4 min read
A solar sales team benefits most from automation at the two highest-leverage points: getting a new enquiry into a scheduled survey quickly, and following up systematically on quotes that have gone quiet rather than letting them fade unattended.
What to automate first
- Instant notification to a local surveyor when a new enquiry or booking comes in.
- A tracked follow-up schedule for quotes sent but not yet accepted or declined.
- Tagging enquiries by source (Google Ads, referral, organic) for later reporting.
Seasonal capacity planning
Since enquiry volume spikes seasonally, use automation to flag when survey booking slots are filling up, so marketing spend can be adjusted rather than generating more leads than the team can actually survey promptly.
A quote that goes quiet for three weeks without a tracked follow-up is very often a quote lost to whichever installer followed up more consistently.
Reporting that connects to actual installs
A monthly view connecting enquiry source to survey completion, quote acceptance and actual installation shows which channels bring real business, not just cheap leads that never convert.
The takeaway
Automate the handoff from web enquiry to a scheduled site survey first — this single step often has the biggest impact on how many leads actually convert.
