The one search worth the most to you sits at the top of page two

This review is about who your website brings in. We went through the site, your search rankings and your reviews. The main findings: "solar panels cork", the search 880 people in Cork type every month, has you at 13th, which is the top of page two where almost nobody clicks. Three of your own pages are chasing that same search, so Google splits the credit and none of them wins. And a set of blank template pages, filler text and test pages, are still live and showing up on Google under your name. Your whole site brings in about 15 visits a month from search. It's all detailed below, with what to do about each one.

01 The rankings

Everything sits just below where the clicks are

Your site shows up for 67 searches. Almost none of them send anyone to you: about 15 visits a month in total. The reason is that your solar searches all land in the same narrow band, the bottom of page one and the top of page two, where people rarely look. Here is what that looks like search by search.

The pattern is clear. You are not missing from Google, you are sitting a few places too low on all the searches that matter, and the gap between 13th and the top of page one is where nearly every phone call is. The single biggest thing holding "solar panels cork" down is that three of your pages are fighting each other for it. Fix that one thing and it has the most room to climb.

02 The specifics

Four things holding the numbers down

Duplicate
Three of your pages chase one search
For "solar panels cork" your homepage ranks 13th, your home solar page ranks 67th and your commercial page ranks 100th. All three are aiming at the same words. When that happens, Google isn't sure which of your pages to put forward, so it splits the credit between them and pushes all three down instead of lifting one up.
Live junk
Template filler pages are still on Google
Eight blog posts written in dummy Latin, the placeholder text every website template ships with, are live on your site, along with pages titled "Hello world!", "TEST" and "Demo design system". They are all listed on Google under your name. It doesn't cost you a customer directly, but it is the clearest sign the site was set up from a template and never tidied up, and Google reads that too.
Missing
Your homepage has no main heading
Every page is meant to have one main heading that tells Google, in plain words, what the page is about. Your homepage has none. So the page that should shout "Solar Panels in Cork" the loudest is the one saying it the most quietly, and that is part of why it only reaches 13th.
Hidden
Your 5.0 rating is nowhere on the site as a number
You have a 5.0 rating from 53 Google reviews. That is as high as it goes, and it is one of the strongest things you have. The site shows three review quotes, but never the number itself. The "5.0 from 53 reviews" line is exactly what makes a homeowner pick up the phone, and right now they never see it.
Worth noticing

None of this is a design problem. The site already has a real photo of one of your installs, real reviews and the services laid out clearly. These are structure and content problems, and this is not a redesign job. It is steady monthly work on the pages and the links between them, the sort of upkeep a site needs to climb and then hold its place.

05 What it adds up to

Run your own numbers on it

Here is the sum in its plain parts. The Cork solar searches in this report, "solar panels cork", "pv generation cork", the "near me" searches and the rest, add up to around 1,900 people a month typing those words into Google. Right now your site collects about 15 visits a month from all of them, because you sit just below where people click. Getting onto page one on the main searches is the difference between those two numbers. You know how many of those searches turn into a job, and what a job in Cork is worth to you. That is the sum worth doing on your side.

Why sooner beats later

Every month those three pages keep fighting over "solar panels cork", Google trusts all three of them a little less, which makes 13th harder to climb from, not easier. And every month the template junk stays live is another month Google sees a site that looks half-finished. Both are cheap to fix now and get more stubborn the longer they sit.
