Growth Review
This review is about what your website brings in, and what stops it. The business itself has real proof: Best Commercial Solar PV Company for three years running, genuine named projects for Circle K, Gerry McGrath Tyres and Ballinakill Community Sportsfield among others. None of that reaches Google. The site's front door currently loads a page titled "Solar Success Stories" with a Projects blog feed, not a homepage built to sell solar installation. It's all detailed below, with what to do about each one.
18 searches are tracked against this site. 33 visits a month total, and every single one of them comes from someone typing your own name, or a search that happens to overlap with it. Not one real buying search produces a measurable visit.
| What people Google | People / month | Your situation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| solgrid (your name) | 210 | 2nd, 27 visits, 82% of all traffic. | 2nd |
| solar grid (name overlap) | 170 | 4th, 6 visits, 18% of all traffic. Not a buying search. | 4th |
| solar panels galway | 880 | 27th. Your home county's biggest search. 0 visits. | 27th |
| pv solar panels | 590 | 74th. 0 visits. | 74th |
| solar pv ireland | 170 | 30th. 0 visits. | 30th |
| commercial solar panels | 110 | 25th, the exact service your industry award is for. 0 visits. | 25th |
33 total visits a month, 100% of it either your own name or a coincidental overlap with it. Given three straight years of a genuine industry award and a real, documented project history, that's a striking gap between the business's real standing and what Google currently shows for it.
This isn't a case of thin content. It's a site with real material that Google currently has little reason to trust as a proper business homepage.
Price both options: patch the current setup, or build once. A site with a genuinely strong real-world reputation showing almost nothing for it in search usually points to the platform itself, not the content, holding the business back. It's worth pricing what fixing the current site costs against building it once, properly, around the projects you've already done.
Each fix below is ready to hand to whoever manages the site.
Start at the top. This month's block is the decision that matters most.
1,750 searches every month across the four real buying searches above.
0 visits a month currently arriving from any of them.
Zero confirmed rankings anywhere in the top 20 for a real buying search.
1,750 people a month are searching for exactly what Solgrid does, solar panels in Galway, commercial solar, PV installation, and none of it currently reaches a business with a genuine three-year industry award behind it. You know how many of those searches turn into a job for you, and what a job is worth. That's the sum worth doing on your side.
With only 18 tracked keywords and every visit coming from your own name, there's essentially no search presence protecting this business from a competitor building proper county pages and picking up the searches Solgrid's own reputation should be winning.
