The challenge
A Colorado solar, roofing, and battery contractor competes in one of the most crowded solar markets in the country. The goal: more qualified leads, without cost per lead climbing as spend scaled.
What we did
- Rebuilt tracking (form plus call tracking) so every lead was attributed correctly.
- Concentrated budget on Colorado and paused the out-of-state tests.
- Segmented ad groups (solar, detach-and-reset, battery) and kept a 433-term negative list on real buyers.
- Reactivated and grew Local Services Ads.
Results
In one quarter, leads grew 64% (about 75 to 122) while cost per lead dropped 17% ($121 to $101). Search impression share nearly tripled to 37.8%, making them the number one solar advertiser in their market.
This was a defined engagement, and the numbers reflect that period. The takeaway holds either way: concentrate the budget, clean the tracking, and the leads go up as the cost comes down.
