Outrank the big solar brands in your own backyard
A homeowner researching solar spends weeks comparing installers before they request a quote. Retriever Score tracks where you show up in local searches, how your reviews stack up against the national brands and local shops competing for the same rooftops, and what to fix first.

Solar installation is one of the highest-stakes decisions a homeowner makes - a $25,000 to $40,000 commitment they will live with for decades. That means an unusually long research phase: three to five Google searches, review comparisons across multiple companies, and careful scrutiny of what past customers say about timelines, permits, and performance. The companies that win the most quotes are the ones that appear in the map pack for every relevant search and have the review count to make a stranger feel confident. Retriever Score monitors every signal that determines that visibility and shows you, in plain language, where you stand.
Show up in the map pack before national brands crowd you out
National solar companies spend heavily to dominate local search. We scan your entire service area for every "solar installation near me" and "solar company" search, so you can see where you hold your ground and where a national competitor or a larger local rival is taking the lead.
A $30,000 decision takes more than a handful of reviews
Homeowners making a major energy investment read every recent review - they are looking for permit delays, post-install support, and whether the savings matched the promise. We monitor your rating, flag low reviews the day they appear, and track your response rate.
Rank for cost and comparison searches that start the conversation
"How much does solar cost in California" and "best solar companies near me" are the research searches that happen before any quote request. We track where you land for those terms each week and show you when a competitor or an AI answer is intercepting that traffic.
See how your review count and rank stack up against every local installer
We put every solar company in your market in one table - their rating, their review count, and their map-pack position - then surface the searches where they beat you. In a market where review count is the biggest differentiator, that table tells you exactly how far you need to go.
Solar questions, answered
We also install EV chargers and battery backup - can I track those too?
Yes. You can add keyword groups for EV charging and battery storage searches alongside your solar keywords, so you see your full service line in one score.
The national installers have huge ad budgets - can we really compete?
Local businesses consistently outperform national brands in the Google map pack because the map pack favors proximity, reviews, and a complete local profile over ad spend. Your Retriever Score shows you exactly where your local advantage is strongest and where to double down.
