You say all the right things to Google. Google just doesn't trust the site yet.

This review is about who your website brings in. We went through the site, your search rankings and your reviews. Unlike most sites we review, every one of your 19 tracked searches is genuinely about solar, and your homepage title correctly says "Solar Panels Dublin." The aim is right. None of it produces a single visit, because Google's trust score for the domain sits at 2 out of 100, by Semrush's own scale. It's all detailed below, with what to do about each one.

01 The rankings

Nineteen solar searches, none inside 40 places of page one

Every one of the 19 searches Google tracks for this site is a real solar search: installers, panels, Dublin, grants. That's rare, most sites we review have unaimed or unrelated keywords mixed in. Yours doesn't. The problem isn't aim, it's that none of the 19 gets anywhere near the front page.

What people GooglePeople / monthYour situation
solar installation21041st. Your best ranking anywhere.41st
solar panels dublin48043rd. Your home market, correctly titled for it, still page five.43rd
solar panel installers near me11046th.46th
solar panel installers ireland72065th, your largest search by volume.65th
solar panel company ireland17085th, your weakest ranking.85th

This is a different problem from most sites we review. The homepage title, the headings and the page content already say the right things. What's missing is the weight Google gives a domain before it will show it for competitive searches at all, built from links from other real websites and time in operation.

Bottom line: The words on the page are right. The domain hasn't earned enough trust to be shown for them yet.
02 The specifics

Three things worth fixing while the trust builds

The site is genuinely well built: a clear 4-step process, real service icons, a correctly Dublin-aimed homepage. These are the specific gaps, none of them a reason to rebuild.

Stale
The grant figure on the homepage is out of date
The Grants section states "official financial support up to €2,400." The real SEAI solar PV grant cap in 2026 is €1,800. Worth fixing before it reaches anyone.
Dated
The footer says 2025
Small, but it's the kind of detail that quietly signals the site isn't being kept current, worth a one-line fix.
Thin
The site has very little backing it up yet
133 sites link to solar-works.ie, but Google's trust score for the domain is still just 2 out of 100. That combination usually means the site is young or the links behind it are weak. Either way, it's the main reason correctly aimed pages still don't show up.
Worth noticing

This isn't a design or aim problem, the site already does both correctly. Building Google's trust in the domain is steady work: real reviews, real mentions from other websites, and a body of content that keeps growing, not a redesign.

Bottom line: The site is ready. It needs Google's trust to catch up to what's already built.
03 Done for you

The fixes, already written out

Each fix below is ready to hand to whoever manages the site.

Fix 1 · Correct the grant figure
This is what the Grants section says today, next to the correct figure.
"official financial support up to €2,400" → change to €1,800, the real 2026 SEAI solar PV cap
"Copyright © 2025" → update to 2026
Fix 2 · What actually builds domain trust
These are the things that move a trust score this low, roughly in order of effect.
Ask past customers for Google reviews → owner: whoever handles customer follow-up, real reviews from real jobs are one of the strongest trust signals available
Get listed on trade and supplier directories you're eligible for → owner: whoever manages the site, SEAI-registered installer directories, local business directories
Publish one real project write-up a month → owner: same, a finished job with photos and the county it was in, not a generic blog post
Fix 3 · Where the aim already works, protect it
"solar installation" and "solar panels dublin" are your best two rankings. Don't change these pages while the fixes above take effect.
/ , keep as is, currently 41st for "solar installation"
/ , keep as is, currently 43rd for "solar panels dublin," 480 searches a month
Bottom line: Fix the two small errors, then focus everything else on earning trust, not rewriting pages that are already aimed right.

05 What it adds up to

Run your own numbers on it

The size of it

0 visits a month arrive from Google today.

19 of 19 tracked searches are genuinely solar-related and correctly aimed.

"Solar panels dublin" alone is 480 searches a month, and the page for it already exists.

Once the domain earns enough trust to move from 41st-85th into the top 20, the pages that are already built and already aimed correctly start earning visits without any further rewriting. What that becomes in enquiries and signed jobs depends on your close rate and your job values, and you know those numbers better than anyone. That's the sum worth doing on your side.

Bottom line: The pages are ready. The floor is zero until the trust score moves.
Why sooner beats later

Other Dublin solar installers with older, more established domains are already holding the positions above yours for these same searches. Trust compounds with time, the sooner the reviews and real content start, the sooner the gap closes.
