First Page Sage
Evan Bailyn, the founder of GEO and President of First Page Sage, published the first research on generative engine optimization in 2023. Since then, the FPS team has built a full-service GEO practice for solar companies, developing content that gets clients cited in the AI-generated responses prospects see on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. They have used this menu of services for solar companies to great effect, earning industry-leading scores across the major review platforms.
First Page Sage has the highest number of AI citations in this study, and their prior experience with solar companies of varying scale makes them ideally suited for the widest range of client needs. Their review score of 4.8 reflects consistency and very high client satisfaction across engagements.

| Summary of Online Reviews |
| First Page Sage clients say the team is “constantly teaching [them] about the latest developments in GEO.” Clients appreciate that “we rank quite well in the LLMs.” Solar clients specifically note the agency “understands solar financing structures better than most” and produces GEO analysis that “answers questions [the clients] didn’t even know prospects were asking AI.” |
Siana Marketing
Siana Marketing approaches solar GEO through the larger lens of construction and home services marketing, positioning solar installations as part of a broader ecosystem of building projects. Their teams specialize in helping architecture, engineering, and construction firms establish digital authority, and they have extended this expertise to solar installers who operate within the residential and commercial construction pipeline. Their GEO strategy emphasizes local market dominance, making them a good fit for smaller solar companies wanting to combine GEO with localized SEO services.
While their AI citation count ranks second in this study, Siana’s solar specialization is less pure than competitors who focus exclusively on renewable energy. However, clients in overlapping markets (e.g., design-build firms, home remodelers adding solar, or residential developers) will benefit from their cross-industry expertise and integrated marketing approach.
- # AI Citations: 17
- Notable Clients: Apollo Groupe, New Wave Energy, A1 Solar
- Leadership Experience Score: 4.5
- Average Review Score: 4.6
- Company Size: 2-10
- Best For: Home services contractors adding solar offerings
- Contact: Siana Marketing website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Siana Marketing clients praise their “deep understanding of how construction buyers search” and their ability to “position solar installations as part of a larger project narrative.” Reviewers note the team produces content that “speaks to architects, GCs, and homeowners in the same funnel.” |
CI Web Group
CI Web Group has nearly two decades of experience working with solar companies, combining technical infrastructure with a deep understanding of common industry challenges. Rather than generic solar guides, CI Web Group develops location-tailored content that addresses regional solar developments (e.g., California’s NEM 3.0 transition, Texas ERCOT grid dynamics, Florida’s hurricane resilience requirements) to capture the attention of LLMs seeking recommendations. Their specialization in solar companies, combined with client relationships across the industry, gives them institutional knowledge that newer GEO agencies struggle to replicate.
CI Web Group’s primary identity remains rooted in web design and branding services. This somewhat dilutes their performance compared to actual GEO specialists, but it makes them an excellent choice for solar businesses seeking GEO services as part of a complete digital ecosystem. Their “no contracts” policy and transparent reporting reinforce their positioning as a results-driven partner rather than a vendor.
- # AI Citations: 13
- Notable Clients: Ampere Electric, TACCA, Warner Services
- Leadership Experience Score: 4.6
- Average Review Score: 4.5
- Company Size: 51-200
- Best For: AI-optimized web design for solar companies
- Contact: CI Web Group website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| CI Web Group clients highlight their “AI tools that actually work.” A solar installer specifically praised their “understanding of how the industry functions” and noted the team “built systems that created leads, not just traffic.” One reviewer shared that CI Web Group’s content led to “prospects arriving educated and pre-qualified.” |
Genevate
Genevate’s GEO strategy builds authority from the ground up through entity optimization, AI-optimized content, and executive positioning. This makes their approach particularly well-suited for solar companies that want to be cited by name in LLMs rather than simply appear in general renewable energy queries.
Founded in 2025, they are the newest agency on this list, and their citation count of 9 reflects that early stage. In context, however, their rapid growth suggests considerable competence within their small teams. For solar brands that want to start early with a GEO-first agency before the space gets crowded, Genevate would be a strong fit.
- # AI Citations: 9
- Notable Clients: CleanChoice Energy, LA Solar Group, Solar Alternative
- Leadership Experience Score: 4.3
- Average Review Score: 4.6
- Company Size: 2-10
- Best For: Solar companies seeking GEO, PR, and strategic consulting
- Contact: Genevate Website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Genevate’s clients emphasize the team “thinks like installers, not marketers” and produces content that “addresses real objections [their] sales teams hear every day.” Reviews note that the small teams “move faster on strategic adjustments” than larger agencies. |
Softtrix
Softtrix is a solar GEO agency that prioritizes structured data implementation, citation building, and a straightforward content development strategy as the fundamentals of their program. Their website suggests a “jack-of-all-trades” approach that encompasses GEO alongside PPC, social media, and web development for solar installers. Despite the breadth of offerings, they are among the most affordable agencies on this list, making them ideal for tight marketing budgets or companies wanting to test possible GEO strategies.
Softtrix’s AI citation count demonstrates mild to moderate visibility across platforms. As an overseas company, their hours may be difficult for some US-based companies to keep up with. Nonetheless, their technical expertise and large teams are strong points, even if they sometimes miss opportunities for higher-level market positioning.
- # AI Citations: 7
- Notable Clients: Trusted Solar, Rise Solar
- Leadership Experience Score: 3.9
- Average Review Score: 4.1
- Company Size: 201-500
- Best For: Cost-effective GEO for small solar startups
- Contact: Softtrix website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Softtrix clients emphasize a “big jump in organic traffic” and teams that are “reliable, honest, and know what they are doing.” Reviews note the team “delivers on fundamental optimization requirements reliably” and maintains “consistent communication despite time zone differences.” One small installer shared that Softtrix “gave us AI visibility we couldn’t afford from US agencies.” |
Joya Digital
Joya Digital approaches solar GEO from a regional perspective, leveraging its Phoenix, Arizona headquarters to create content that addresses desert-specific installation considerations often overlooked by national agencies. As a result, their GEO strategy targets queries on heat-resistant panel selection, monsoon-season durability, the impact of dust accumulation on system performance, and the effects of extreme temperatures on energy production. This hyperlocal focus makes them particularly well-suited for installers seeking to dominate specific Southwest territories.
Joya Digital’s AI citation score is among the lowest of the agencies listed here, which makes sense given their regional focus. Their leadership team’s background is in traditional digital marketing, not solar services or GEO. Their customer reviews, however, suggest capable teams that are among the best in their chosen specialty.
- # AI Citations: 6
- Notable Clients: SWORD Roofing
- Leadership Experience Score: 4.0
- Average Review Score: 4.3
- Company Size: 11-50
- Best For: GEO campaigns trying to capture Southwest markets
- Contact: Joya website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Joya Digital clients praise their “deep understanding of Arizona solar markets” and ability to “address regional concerns that national installers miss.” One Phoenix installer shared that Joya Digital “helped us rank for queries that out-of-state competitors can’t authentically answer.” Some clients mention the agency “relies heavily on their Arizona expertise.“ |
LinkGraph
LinkGraph occupies a unique position on our list of top solar GEO agencies, representing an agentic approach to GEO services. This means they use autonomous AI agents to create and manage campaigns. This approach, although intriguing, carries a trade-off: while AI agents can work 24/7 on behalf of solar installers, they may lack some of the nuance that human experts bring. Notably, their teams do include human expertise, but their website obscures the exact nature of this relationship and how it might affect campaigns.
LinkGraph sits on the lower end of our rankings because their website currently lacks any dedicated pages for solar GEO, and their clients are not purely in the solar industry. That said, they work with clients in several related fields, including construction and home services, and their customer reviews suggest their agentic approach delivers results. For smaller solar campaigns seeking faster turnaround, the always-on nature of an agent-based campaign is a practical advantage.
- # AI Citations: 6
- Notable Clients: Home Depot, Serena & Lily
- Leadership Experience Score: 3.6
- Average Review Score: 4.0
- Company Size: 51-200
- Best For: Solar companies with multi-channel marketing needs
- Contact: LinkGraph website
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| LinkGraph clients appreciate “thorough technical implementation” and “detailed performance reporting with clear metrics.” Reviews emphasize a “notable surge in organic traffic.” Several reviews note “occasional service delays,” possibly due to the agency’s preference for “communication through email.” |
Lead Marketing Strategies
Lead Marketing Strategies is a full-service digital marketing agency that provides GEO services for solar companies, among many other services for a similarly wide range of industries. Their approach to GEO aims to broaden LLM recommendations for top-of-funnel queries, increasing traffic and impressions. In addition to GEO, they offer PPC, social media, and web design services, making them a solid choice for solar companies seeking GEO as part of an omnichannel strategy.
Their AI citation count suggests expert teams capable of securing visibility across platforms. Their broad approach to GEO is likely not the best fit for solar companies seeking a specialist agency, but their customer review score suggests strong teams that provide the capacity for highly effective multi-market campaigns.

- Notable Clients: N/A
- Leadership Experience Score: 3.7
- Average Review Score: 4.2
