Exclusive leads for solar and heat pump installers

Solar panel, battery and heat pump enquiries from your own campaigns, with landing pages and instant follow-up that turn clicks into surveys.

How do solar installers get good leads?

Solar installers get good leads by running their own Google Ads for installation searches, sending clicks to landing pages that answer cost and savings questions honestly, and calling every enquiry within minutes. Lead Gems builds this for UK solar, battery and heat pump installers, so you stop buying shared leads that several firms are chasing.

The demand

What your clients search for every month.

Huge interest, but much of it is early research. Installation searches cost more and convert better, so landing pages and follow-up decide your cost per survey.

The problem

Where solar installers lose clients.

We see the same gaps again and again. Each one is fixable, and most cost more than the marketing that fixes them.

  • Shared leads

    Bought solar leads go to several installers at once.

  • Expensive, unconverted clicks

    Traffic lands on a homepage and leaves without asking for a quote.

  • Slow follow-up

    Homeowners book the first installer who calls.

  • Savings claims that cause trouble

    Overstated savings put off careful buyers and break advertising rules.

What works

The services that work for solar installers.

We start with the one or two that fix your biggest gap, then add the rest once those are paying back.

Honest claims, certified installs

Savings and payback claims must be evidenced under the CAP Code, and the ASA has ruled against solar ads that overstated them. We keep every figure honest, which also builds trust with buyers.

MCS certification matters to homeowners, because the Smart Export Guarantee and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme depend on it. We show your certification clearly.

Are bought solar leads worth it?
