How much does a solar lead cost with RankMeHi?

We have not set a fixed price for solar leads yet. It follows our published rule: no more than 5% of your average installed system, and never above the lowest price a lead marketplace charges for solar. The exact price is worked out from your own job sizes and written into the agreement before you sign. Before any lead there is a $490 founding-partner setup, which covers the design and build of a five-page fast site, and $99 a month for hosting, the tracking number and your lead ledger. Your first three approved leads are free, and you set a monthly cap before we start.

What counts as a billable solar lead?

A new customer, in your service area, asking about a system or service you offer, on a call over 60 seconds or through a form or text that describes a real project, such as a quote request with a bill attached. Lead vendors, existing customers, robocalls, out-of-area forms and repeat contacts within 90 days are never billed, and you can reject any lead within seven days with one tap.

Are these leads sold to other installers too?

No. The enquiries come from your own website and your own tracking number, so nobody else receives them, and we take one solar partner per city. That is the main difference from comparison sites that pass one form to several companies.

Do you work with more than one solar installer in my city?

No. Leads are exclusive, so we take one partner per trade in each city. If your city is already taken we will tell you on the first call, and the fixed-price website project is still open to you.

Why solar installers lose calls

What a solar installer's site has to do differently.

In one lineSolar marketing from RankMeHi is a site, local SEO and a Business Profile built at cost, billed at a price set by the 5% rule per lead the solar installer approves.

Solar is the longest decision on this list. The homeowner reads for weeks, compares quotes from several installers and asks about the roof, financing, batteries and what the utility pays for extra power. Some have already filled in a comparison form and been called by companies they never chose.

So the site we build for a solar installer is there to earn trust, not to chase clicks: your own installs, how purchase, loan and lease options work, what happens with permits and the utility connection, and a quote form that takes a photo of the electric bill. Every enquiry it creates goes to you alone.

What we build

Six things every solar installer site gets, written for your jobs.

The same build as our fixed-price project: designed in Figma, shipped as a fast static site, edited in a CMS your team can use. These are the parts specific to your trade.

01
A quote form that takes the electric bill
The homeowner uploads a bill and the address. You size a system before the first call and the enquiry lands in your ledger.
02
Purchase, loan and lease explained
How each option works, who owns the system and what happens if the house is sold, in plain words.
03
A permits and utility connection page
Who handles the permit, the inspection and the utility paperwork, and what the homeowner has to sign along the way.
04
Battery and backup pages
Batteries, backup during outages and adding storage to an existing system, for the customers who search that first.
05
A gallery of your own installs
Roof and ground mounts with the town and the panel and inverter brands, so the work is real and checkable.
06
Licence, warranty and HOA notes
Your contractor licence, workmanship and product warranties, and how you handle HOA approval, in the page text for Google and AI search.

What you pay for

What counts as a solar lead, and what never does.

The rule is the same for every trade: a new customer, in your service area, asking about a service you offer, on a call over 60 seconds or through a form or text describing a real job. Here is what that looks like for you.

Billed at your written price

A homeowner in your area submits the quote form with last month’s electric bill attached
A new customer calls about solar with battery backup and the call runs over a minute

Never billed

A lead vendor or panel distributor calling to sell you something
A customer you installed for calling about their monitoring app
A form from a homeowner outside the area you install in
Anything you reject within seven days, one tap, no reason needed
Your first three approved leads

Cost of a lead
