How We Got the Client
SolarPeak Energy came to us as a growing solar installation company with strong technical expertise and a clear value proposition for homeowners, but without a consistent system for generating qualified leads. Their existing efforts relied on sporadic advertising and basic website forms that produced low-quality inquiries and high cost per lead. Competitors with structured lead generation programs were capturing more of the homeowners actively researching solar options.
We conducted a full lead generation audit that reviewed their current traffic sources, landing page performance, ad campaigns, lead quality, and cost efficiency. We mapped out how a focused system combining optimized landing pages, targeted Google and Meta campaigns, and automated nurturing could deliver a steady flow of qualified homeowners at a lower cost. That audit became the foundation of the engagement, and SolarPeak Energy signed on to build the lead generation system.
What We Ensure in the Client Meeting
Before starting any lead generation project, we run a structured discovery session to align on goals, audience, and success metrics. For SolarPeak Energy, this meeting covered:
- ✓ A deep dive into SolarPeak Energy’s service offerings, ideal homeowner profile, sales process, and the types of leads that convert into installations
- ✓ Full audit of existing lead sources: current advertising performance, landing page conversion rates, lead quality, and cost per lead
- ✓ Identifying the highest-value channels and messaging for reaching homeowners interested in solar installations
- ✓ Defining lead qualification criteria, CRM requirements, and the handoff process between marketing and sales
- ✓ Agreeing on campaign structure, landing page approach, tracking setup, and the review and approval process with the SolarPeak Energy team
- ✓ Setting clear KPIs: qualified leads generated, cost per lead, conversion rate from lead to consultation, and overall campaign ROI
Lead generation succeeds only when strategy, creative, targeting, and follow-up work together. Getting complete alignment on ideal customer profile, lead quality standards, and success metrics before campaigns launched is what made the entire program effective from the first month.
Project Overview
SolarPeak Energy is a solar installation company focused on helping homeowners reduce energy costs and transition to clean power. The company had strong technical capability and competitive offerings, but its lead generation was inconsistent and inefficient, resulting in high costs and uneven lead quality.
The goal of the project was to build a complete, high-performing lead generation system that combined clear strategy, optimized landing pages, targeted Google and Meta advertising, lead qualification, CRM integration, and ongoing reporting. Every element was designed to attract qualified homeowners, lower cost per lead, and increase the number of leads that converted into consultations and installations.
Before Performance: Where They Started
Here is a snapshot of SolarPeak Energy’s lead generation performance in the period before we began working together.

At this stage, SolarPeak Energy had some advertising activity and a basic website contact form, but no structured lead generation system. Landing pages were not optimized, campaigns lacked precise targeting, lead qualification was limited, and there was little automated nurturing. As a result, lead volume was inconsistent, cost per lead was high, and too many inquiries failed to convert into real opportunities.
The Challenge
Before working together, SolarPeak Energy faced a set of challenges common to solar and home services companies trying to build a reliable pipeline of qualified leads:
- ✓ No clear lead generation strategy, resulting in inconsistent campaigns and unpredictable lead volume
- ✓ Landing pages that were not optimized for conversion and failed to turn traffic into qualified inquiries
- ✓ Advertising campaigns that lacked precise targeting and produced high cost per lead with mixed quality
- ✓ Limited lead qualification and no CRM integration, making it hard for the sales team to prioritize and follow up effectively
- ✓ Weak conversion funnel and minimal nurturing, so many leads went cold before becoming consultations
Our Strategy
We built a complete lead generation system for SolarPeak Energy that combined clear strategy, optimized landing pages, targeted Google and Meta campaigns, lead qualification with CRM integration, conversion funnel improvements, and monthly performance reporting so results could keep improving over time.

1. Lead Generation Strategy
We built a full lead generation strategy around SolarPeak Energy’s ideal homeowner profile and sales process. This included channel prioritization, messaging frameworks, offer structure, and the specific role each campaign would play in attracting qualified prospects. Every recommendation was tied to measurable lead volume, quality, and cost goals.
2. Landing Page Optimization
We designed and optimized dedicated landing pages focused on converting ad traffic into qualified leads. Clear value propositions, strong calls to action, simplified forms, and trust elements were used to maximize conversion rates while maintaining lead quality.
3. Google & Meta Lead Campaigns
We launched and managed targeted campaigns on Google and Meta designed to reach homeowners actively researching or open to solar installations. Precise audience targeting, compelling ad creative, and continuous optimization lowered cost per lead while increasing the volume of qualified inquiries.
4. Lead Qualification & CRM Integration
We implemented lead qualification criteria and integrated form submissions with the SolarPeak Energy CRM. This ensured that only higher-intent leads reached the sales team and that follow-up could happen quickly and consistently.
5. Conversion Funnel Optimization
We refined the full conversion funnel from ad click through landing page to form submission and sales handoff. Friction points were removed, messaging was aligned across stages, and automated nurturing was added to keep leads warm until they were ready for a consultation.
6. Monthly Lead Performance Reporting
Every month SolarPeak Energy received a clear performance report covering qualified leads generated, cost per lead, conversion rates, channel performance, and recommendations for the month ahead. The strategy was adjusted continuously based on what the data showed was driving the strongest results.
The Results: Before vs After
Within the engagement period, SolarPeak Energy saw significant, measurable growth across all key lead generation performance metrics. Here is the direct before and after comparison.
| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualified Leads | Low volume | 3.8K leads | 3.8K qualified leads generated |
| Cost Per Lead | High | 62% lower | 62% lower cost per lead |
| Conversions | Baseline | 184% increase | 184% increase in conversions |
“We were spending money on ads but not getting enough quality leads. The new system changed that completely. We now have a steady flow of qualified homeowners, our cost per lead has dropped significantly, and more of those leads are converting into consultations. It has given our sales team a much more reliable pipeline.” – SolarPeak Energy
