theStacc
AI-powered managed SEO for solar installers · from $749/mo · month-to-month
theStacc pairs an AI content engine with a real SEO team, so it ships what a solar agency ships — service pages, state and city pages, incentive explainers, Google Business Profile work, technical SEO, AI-search optimization — at roughly five times the volume for a fraction of the retainer. That volume matters more in solar than in any other trade, because the buyer's questions multiply: panel cost by system size, payback by state, net metering rules, battery add-ons, financing versus cash, what the tax credit is worth this year. Heaven Green Energy, a solar installer running theStacc, went from zero search visits to 19,700 in three months, with Google quoting their pages inside AI answers. The full Search Console and Semrush data is further down this page.
Strengths
- 30+ solar pages published every month
- Ranks in Google and AI search (GEO/AEO)
- Covers incentives, payback and financing questions by state
- Month-to-month — every page stays yours
Good to know
- Proven in solar: 0 to 19.7k visits in three months for Heaven Green Energy
- A human SEO manager reviews every page before publishing

RELLO
Clean-energy marketing · custom pricing
The most concentrated solar practice on this list, with a client roster that includes national installers and regional EPCs. RELLO knows the difference between marketing a residential PPA and a commercial rooftop project, and the brand work is genuinely good. It is priced as a strategic partner, not a monthly service, and the organic content output reflects a human team.
Strengths
- Deepest solar-specific client experience
- Understands residential and commercial motion
- Strong brand and creative work
Consider
- Priced as a strategic partner
- Human-capped content volume
- Better fit for larger installers
Pricing: CustomBest for: Larger solar brands and EPCs
theStacc vs RELLO: theStacc will not out-brand RELLO, but it publishes far more of the incentive and cost content a homeowner reads before requesting a quote.

Focus Digital
Solar SEO · custom pricing
A search-first agency with a real residential solar focus and a good grasp of how homeowners actually research panels — long, comparison-heavy, incentive-driven journeys rather than single-visit conversions. Solid technical SEO. Pricing is quote-only and monthly page volume is modest for what solar's keyword surface demands.
Strengths
- Search-first, not paid-first
- Understands the long residential consideration cycle
- Sound technical SEO
Consider
- Quote-only pricing
- Modest publishing volume
- Limited AI-search work
Pricing: CustomBest for: Residential solar SEO
theStacc vs Focus Digital: Same search-first thinking, but theStacc covers every state incentive and every system-size question instead of the top twenty keywords.

WebFX
Large full-service agency · published price ranges
Big, technical, and unusually transparent about pricing for an agency this size, with a renewable-energy practice serving installers nationally. If you want a large bench and clear reporting, it works. Solar is one vertical among many, so nobody there is losing sleep over the 30% federal credit changing.
Strengths
- Publishes pricing ranges
- Serious technical SEO bench
- National coverage and tooling
Consider
- Solar is one of many verticals
- Four-figure monthly plans
- Twelve-month terms common
Pricing: Published ranges, $$$Best for: Larger installers
theStacc vs WebFX: theStacc publishes its price too — $749, no term — and treats incentive changes as a content trigger rather than a footnote.

Atilus
Solar energy marketing · custom pricing
Notable for one commitment that matters in this industry: leads generated for you are yours alone, not resold across three installers in your county the way marketplace leads are. That alone puts them ahead of most lead vendors solar companies get burned by. Organic content depth is moderate and pricing is quote-only.
Strengths
- Exclusive leads, not shared marketplace leads
- Full-service across search and paid
- Long client history
Consider
- Moderate organic content depth
- Quote-only pricing
- No AI-search focus
Pricing: CustomBest for: Installers burned by shared leads
theStacc vs Atilus: theStacc goes one step further — the pages are yours permanently, so the pipeline does not stop when the invoice does.

Hook Agency
Home services & solar SEO · from ~$2,000/mo
Best known in roofing and HVAC, with growing solar work, and the local search execution carries over well — solar is still a neighbourhood-referral business at heart. Straightforward team, good websites. Content is written on a retainer, so a handful of pages a month is the realistic output.
Strengths
- Strong local search execution
- Good websites for quote requests
- Honest, accessible team
Consider
- Solar is newer for them than roofing
- Handful of pages per month
- Around $2,000/mo to start
Pricing: from ~$2,000/moBest for: Local installers wanting a new site
theStacc vs Hook Agency: theStacc costs under half Hook’s entry retainer and publishes the long-cycle research content solar buyers actually read.

Timmermann Group
Digital marketing with a solar practice · custom pricing
A twenty-plus year agency running a defined SEO process with a dedicated solar practice attached. Process-driven and stable, which suits installers who want predictable reporting more than fast experimentation. The flip side is a conventional pace and little AI-search work.

Consider

- No AI-search focus
- Custom pricing and terms
Pricing: CustomBest for: Installers who want process

SEO, PPC & web design · custom pricing

First Page Sage
Thought-leadership SEO · custom pricing
Content-heavy SEO aimed at long, high-consideration sales cycles, which describes commercial solar well. If you sell megawatt projects to facility owners and need authority content that survives a procurement review, they fit. For a residential installer chasing quote requests this month, the model is slow and expensive.
Strengths
- Built for long consideration cycles
- Strong authority content
- Good fit for commercial solar
Consider
- Slow to show results
- Expensive for residential installers
- Low page volume
Pricing: CustomBest for: Commercial and utility-scale solar
theStacc vs First Page Sage: theStacc covers the same long cycle but publishes weekly, so residential and commercial content build at the same time.
