01 · The challenge

A great engineering team. Zero inbound pipeline.

Solar Engineering Services designs and engineers solar plants for EPC firms across India. The technical work was world-class. The website was not.

Before theStacc, the team ranked for 12 keywords total and the contact form sat quiet for weeks. Every project came from referrals or cold outbound. The founder was spending 25 hours every week writing blog drafts, chasing a freelancer agency, and editing copy that never shipped on time.

They needed three things at once: more keywords ranked, more qualified inbound leads, and most of those 25 hours back so the team could go back to engineering.

02 · What got automated

The entire SEO workflow. Running on autopilot.

theStacc replaced every manual step — from keyword discovery to published article — with a system that runs continuously.

01

Keyword research

Continuous discovery of high-intent solar engineering keywords, mapped by search volume, competition, and commercial intent. No more spreadsheets.

  • 240+ commercial-intent queries mapped
  • Auto-surfaced long-tail opportunities
  • Competitor gap analysis every week
02

Content generation

AI writes SEO-optimized articles with proper structure, internal links, meta tags, and a brand voice trained on the firm's existing case studies.

  • Brand voice trained on 12 case studies
  • Article + FAQPage schema on every post
  • 92+ internal SEO grade before publish
03

Auto-publishing

Articles publish directly to WordPress on a set schedule — formatted, optimized, and live without a single manual upload.

  • 4 articles per week, every week
  • No missed deadlines or publishing bursts
  • CMS formatting handled automatically
04

Internal linking

The system builds intelligent links between related articles, creating topic clusters that strengthen domain authority and rankings.

  • 80+ pages interlinked automatically
  • Pillar-cluster architecture built over time
  • Authority distributed to money pages
03 · The SEO audit

What the audit uncovered

Before automation could work, we had to understand why the site was not generating leads — and what needed to change.

0

Organic leads / week

Website traffic existed but converted poorly. No dedicated landing pages, no clear conversion paths, no lead magnets.

12

Total blog posts

Published sporadically over 2 years. Most were outdated, thin, or targeting low-intent keywords with no search volume.

0%

Publishing automation

Every step was manual — from keyword research in spreadsheets to uploading in WordPress. Zero workflow automation.

4

Competitors outranking

Four direct competitors dominated high-intent solar engineering keywords. The firm was invisible for terms their buyers searched.

3.8s

Average page load

Unoptimized images, no caching strategy, and bloated scripts hurt Core Web Vitals and rankings before content had a chance.

0

Internal link structure

Blog posts existed in isolation. No topic clusters, no pillar pages, no strategic internal linking to distribute authority.

04 · The plan

4-phase growth strategy

01

Foundation + audit

Fixed technical issues, implemented schema markup, optimized page speed, and built a conversion-focused landing page structure.

02

Content engine activation

Deployed automated keyword research and began publishing 30+ SEO-optimized articles per month targeting solar engineering intent.

03

Topic cluster build

Organized content into pillar-cluster structures around core services: residential design, commercial engineering, permitting, and utility-scale PV.

04

Conversion optimization

Added lead capture forms, service-specific CTAs, and consultation booking flows to convert rising traffic into qualified leads.

05 · The approach

Two modules. One growth engine.

We mapped every commercial-intent keyword a solar EPC buyer types into Google — then handed Content SEO and Local SEO the keys.

01

Content SEO

3,000-word pillar articles on solar plant design, single-line diagrams, structural calculations, and grid-tie studies — the queries Solar Engineering Services' buyers actually search.

  • 4 articles per week, auto-published to the live site
  • Brand-voice trained on 12 existing case studies
  • Internal linking auto-built across 80+ pages
  • Schema markup on every article — Article + FAQPage

02

Local SEO

  • GBP profile rebuilt with service-area coverage
  • 38 directory citations cleaned in 14 days
  • Auto-responses on every Google review within 1h
  • Map Pack rank tracking for 14 queries weekly
