Most installer ads fail
after the click.
You can buy the perfect click — someone searching “heat pump grant” in your town, right now — and still lose them, because the page they land on cannot answer the thing they just typed into Google. We fix the landing, then we run the ads.
InstallerHQ builds and runs Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads for UK renewable energy installers. Campaigns are pointed at a GrantCheck or SolarCheck tool on the installer’s own website rather than at a contact form, so a visitor gets an answer in about thirty seconds and the installer gets a named enquiry. We do not sell leads; every enquiry belongs to the installer alone.
The click is not the hard part.
“Heat pump grant” → your homepage → a contact form.
They searched a specific question and got a general page. So they go back to Google and try the next installer. You paid for that click either way.
“Heat pump grant” → your checker → £7,500.
The ad promised an answer and the page gave one, in about thirty seconds. Then it asks for a name — which is an easy yes once someone has seen a real figure.
Two platforms, two jobs.
They are not interchangeable, and running the same campaign on both is how budgets get wasted.
Google — the people already looking
Search is where grant and solar intent actually shows up. Somebody typing “boiler upgrade scheme eligibility” has decided they want it and is checking whether they can have it. That is the warmest a homeowner gets before they pick up the phone, and it is the whole reason the landing page matters more than the bid.
Meta — the people who have not started
Facebook and Instagram reach the homeowner who has not searched anything yet. Nobody scrolls Instagram looking for a heat pump, so the job is different: interrupt well, and give them somewhere worth going. A checker does that far better than a brochure page does.
Retargeting the half-finished
Plenty of people start a checker and stop — the phone rings, the kettle boils. Those are the most recoverable people you have, because they have already shown you exactly what they want. Meta is the cheapest way to go back and get them.
Your area, not a national spray
Campaigns are built around the patch you actually travel to. An enquiry ninety minutes away is not a win, and we would rather spend the budget twice in your own county.
What we will not tell you.
- A cost per enquiry
Not before we have seen your trade, your area and your budget. Anyone quoting you one on a first call is quoting an average from somebody else’s business.
- A guaranteed volume
We do not control how many people search for a heat pump grant in your town this month.
- That ads fix a weak site
They do not. They send more people to it faster. If the landing page cannot answer the question, paid traffic makes the problem more expensive, not smaller — which is why the checker goes in first.
You keep ownership of the ad accounts and the data. If you leave, they go with you.

Stop paying for clicks
that land on a dead end.
Fifteen minutes. We look at what you are running now, and at the page it points to.
