105 searches tracked. Your own solar sales pages don't appear in a single one

This review is about who your website brings in. The site is genuinely solar-first, "Solar PV Galway Installers" on the homepage, real SEAI and RECI badges, dedicated commercial and grant pages. Despite that, "solar panels galway," your own core search, only shows up from an EV charger page and a grants page, never from the solar page itself. It's all detailed below, with what to do about each one.

01 The rankings

105 searches, and almost all of them are EV chargers, not solar

A single page, /ev-chargers-galway-3/, carries the overwhelming majority of the site's tracked searches, including EV searches worth thousands a month in volume. Solar, the business's own stated specialty, barely appears.

solar panels westmeath39076th, from the homepage.76th
solar pv grant11055th, from the grants page.55th

Not one of the 105 tracked searches comes from the site's own solar PV or commercial solar pages, the pages that actually sell the core business. The content that does rank is aimed at EV chargers, a real service, but not the one the homepage leads with.

Bottom line: The site is built to sell solar. Google currently only sees it as an EV charger business.
02 The specifics

Three things keeping solar out of the results

The trust and credibility work is already done. These are the checkable reasons the solar side of the business doesn't show up for it.

Missing
The solar PV sales pages have no ranking at all
/solar-pv/ and /solar-pv-commercial/ are both live, real pages, and neither appears anywhere in the 105-row keyword table, at any position, for any search.
Wrong
Your core search comes from the wrong two pages
"Solar panels galway," 390 searches a month, is the term the whole business is named around, and the only two pages that rank for it are an EV charger page and a grants page. Neither one is built to sell solar installation.
Weak
One EV charger page carries the entire site's search visibility
Over 50 of the 105 tracked searches, including several worth thousands of monthly searches, all point at a single page. That page absorbing everything means solar has almost nothing left pointing at it.
Worth noticing

This is not a design problem, it is steady monthly work. The trust badges, the branding, the SEAI and RECI credentials are all already there. What's missing is aim: the solar pages need to be pointed at the searches homeowners actually type.

Bottom line: The credibility is built. It just isn't attached to the pages that are supposed to sell solar.

Fix 3 · The remaining quick fixes
Small, checkable, no design work involved.

05 What it adds up to

Run your own numbers on it

The searches in this report add up to

890 searches every month across the solar terms above.

0 visits a month currently arriving from any of them.

Zero confirmed rankings anywhere from the site's actual solar sales pages.

890 people a month are searching for exactly what this business does, solar in Galway and Westmeath, plus the SEAI grant that funds it, and the pages built to answer them aren't ranking at all. You know how many of those searches turn into a job for you, and what a job is worth. That's the sum worth doing on your side.

Bottom line: The demand and the trust are both real. They're just not connected to each other yet.
Why sooner beats later

Your tracked keyword count grew 18% over the last month, which means Google is actively re-evaluating this site right now. Re-aiming the solar pages while that's happening gets the benefit faster than waiting for the next crawl cycle.
