Your site's own title says "Solar Services in Galway", and Google tracks zero solar searches for it

This review is about who your website brings in. Your homepage has a real dedicated "Trusted solar contractor" section with its own call to action, and real photos of a solar installation. None of it shows up in search. Google tracks exactly two searches for the whole domain, and neither is solar. It's all detailed below, with what to do about it.

01 The rankings

This is everything Google tracks for the domain

Two searches, total. One is a real local competitor's business name, and the other is a generic electrician search. Neither mentions solar.

What people GooglePeople / monthYour situation
electricians galway17031st, on the homepage. Zero visits.31st
parkmore electrical17041st. A different company's name.41st

The site's own title tag reads "MDE Electrical and Solar | Domestic, Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Electrical and Solar Services in Galway". That's a genuine, deliberate solar positioning, backed by a real homepage section built specifically to sell it. Google has currently matched none of it to a single solar search.

Bottom line: The site says solar clearly. Google hasn't connected that to a single search yet.
02 The specifics

Three things holding the solar side back

The electrical side of the business ranks, thinly, for its own trade. These are the specific reasons the solar side doesn't rank at all.

Missing
No dedicated solar page exists
The homepage's "Trusted solar contractor" section and the "Solar" services tile both point at a "Find out more" click-through, but there is no standalone page built and aimed at a solar search on its own. Everything currently funnels through the homepage, which is tracked for zero solar searches.
Missing
No sitemap.xml, the list of pages you give Google
No file telling Google exactly which pages exist on the site, confirmed by the digest check. A real gap on a site with a genuine 34-site link base to put to work.
Weak
Galway isn't named on the solar section itself
The homepage does name Galway and the west of Ireland elsewhere, but the solar section and CTA don't repeat it directly, so the page that's meant to sell solar doesn't carry the area name into its own heading.
Worth noticing

None of this is a design problem. The real content and the real 25 years of trust are already there. What's missing is a standalone solar page with Galway built into it, and a sitemap to help Google find it.

Bottom line: The electrical side has a track record. The solar side needs its own page to build one.

Fix 2 · Build the page the homepage is already selling
The homepage's own "Trusted solar contractor" section already has the pitch written. This turns it into a page Google can rank.
/solar/ → owner: build using the homepage's existing solar copy and photo, name Galway in the heading
Fix 3 · Give Google a full list of your pages
A quick technical fix that helps the new solar page, and every existing page, get found faster.

the growth work
Add a few real solar job photos. The bird-on-a-panel photo is genuine but generic; photos of your own crew's Galway installs carry more weight.

Ask recent solar customers for a Google review. A real signal the 25-year electrical reputation doesn't automatically carry over to.

05 What it adds up to

Run your own numbers on it

Where the site stands today

0 of the domain's 2 tracked keywords are solar searches.

34 real sites already link to the domain, currently unused for solar visibility.

0 monthly visits currently reach the site through any search at all.

There's no solar traffic number worth projecting yet, because no page currently targets a solar search. What's already true is the harder part, 25 years of real local trust and a 34-site link base, exists. You know your close rate and your average solar job value. Once the dedicated page exists, that's the point this becomes a numbers conversation.

Bottom line: The reputation is real. It just hasn't been given a solar page to attach to yet.
Why sooner beats later

Every month without a dedicated solar page is a month a competitor electrician who adds one first gets the head start on ranking for it, in the same Galway market this business already has 25 years of trust in.
