Challenge

Captain Green wanted to increase traffic and drive organic enquiries for solar panels in every major city in Australia. When they approached us, Captain Green had a basic SEO framework with thin location and product pages for the locations that they wanted to rank in.

Approach

Our approach included a mix of transactional content for search terms such as:

  • “Solar Panels + Location
  • X-kW Solar System”

Across individual product and location landing pages. These pages were the key breadwinners for the campaign and would drive high-value traffic nationwide. Although Captain Green had some of these pages, none were strong enough to compete in a highly competitive industry. All pages were rewritten with a uniform structure that highlighted key product information and delivered genuine value to users.

In addition to these “transactional” pages, we also created a series of mid-funnel blog posts that addressed users in the decision-making phase of the buying cycle. The goal of these posts was to build trust and brand awareness with a short funnel to conversion.
