Read how to attract customers in the photovoltaic industry, using the potential of all possible channels – search engine and Google Ads campaigns, social media, Google My Business card.
Advertising photovoltaics on the Internet – how to get started?
The huge interest in photovoltaics is driving the industry. There are many established players, but there are also constantly new companies trying to make a name for themselves. And that’s where the main challenges come from – especially advertising. Promotion on the Internet is essential in this case, because it is the fastest way to become known, develop a reputation as an expert and attract new customers. However, in such a competitive market, a good strategy is necessary to achieve the goals and fit within the budget. Based on the experience of more than a dozen campaigns carried out for photovoltaic companies (from all over the country and with different scope of operation), I recommend Google Ads campaigns as the fastest and most effective. However, this is definitely not all. It is also worth taking care of other opportunities to reach customers and build brand awareness. The most benefits, including profits, come from activities in all possible marketing channels. The following are the most effective areas for action.

Promotion of photovoltaic company on the Web – 6 areas of action:
Competing on advertising budgets, with giants such as industry forerunner Columbus Energy or very popular brands – such as Ikea with its partner E.ON and SOLSTRÅLE panels or Esoleo from the Polsat Group – would be a battle with windmills. Do you want advertising that is effective but tailor-made for your business and budget? In Google Ads, you will set up a reasonable budget and choose activities that will bring the fastest results.
- Positioning
Surely you already know that a Google Ads campaign will give you instant access to customers. Positioning, on the other hand, brings results a little later, as it takes time to develop top search engine positions. However, their achievement pays off in the long term, resulting in continued visibility to potential customers and strengthening the image of an important player in the industry. Positioning a photovoltaic company makes sense and is cost-effective. However, it is worth sticking to the following tips.
With both Google Ads campaigns and SEO, it is the choice of phrases that will be key. The ambition of many companies is to achieve visibility for the most generic phrases like “photovoltaic,” “renewable energy” or “oze.” However, you need to know that – using Google ads as an example – clicks on them are very expensive, and they themselves have little sales. Fighting with recognizable companies will consume huge budgets and not necessarily produce sales results. The best way to get customers quickly is to target phrases that people looking for a vendor and installation contractor may type into Google:
– In a particular city, that is, in a particular location, such as. “photovoltaics Bydgoszcz”, “photovoltaics Lublin”, “photovoltaics kujawsko-pomorskie”. You increase your chances of getting orders in your region, in addition to gaining local recognition;
– through more precise terms, such as “5 kw photovoltaic installation”, “10 kw photovoltaic installation”, “10 kw photovoltaic installation price with installation”. They characterize customers already versed in the subject, perhaps looking for quotes that compete with those they already have.
- Good website
It is necessary, because only a good site can be effectively positioned. But more importantly, the website must be user-friendly and thematically comprehensive. Only then will Internet users who already hit the site want to get in touch and use your services specifically.
- Content and blog
This point is related to the previous one, as it is about the substantive content of your website, the texts on it should be unique and valuable to users. Only such attract attention, inspire confidence and convince people to take up the offer. A mandatory point is to maintain a blog with news from the industry, company life, realizations.
