Solar Panel SEO Case Study – From Zero to Search Rankings Leader

The Client

Wizer Energy, a Solar PV installation company, came to Digital Funnel with a major challenge — they had no online presence. In a competitive market, they knew they needed to establish themselves online, but they required expert help to do so. Our goal was clear: create a robust digital footprint and generate consistent leads through a sustainable, cost-effective strategy.


The Challenge

  • Zero Online Presence – A completely new market entrant. 
  • Competitive Landscape – The Solar PV and EV installation sectors are crowded with aggressive competitors. 
  • Limited Budget for Ads – Wizer Energy sought a sustainable, cost-effective approach instead of relying on expensive paid advertising. 

The Strategy   

  • Website Development – Design and develop a highly visual but lead-generating website 
  • Keyword Research – Identify high-value keywords that would attract potential customers. 
  • On-Page SEO – Optimise meta titles, descriptions, headings, and use internal linking and schema markup. 
  • Content Strategy – Creating informative, value-driven landing pages and articles. 
  • Link Building – Backlinks from industry-relevant websites, local news, and blogs. 

The Results – Solar Panel SEO

  • #1 position in Google

Wizer Energy achieved the #1 spot on Google for key terms like “Commercial PV Systems”, “Solar Panels Dublin” and “Solar Panels Cork”. (…and still there today)

Those results boosted their visibility and credibility. This top ranking placed them ahead of competitors and consistently attracted highly targeted, local traffic.
