THE NUMBERS
Where Tampa Bay solar sites are leaking trust and leads.
Across 26 reachable sites. Same checker as the free report.
WHY IT MATTERS
Homeowners compare quotes. Spoofed email and dead websites lose jobs.
- Email without DMARC is easy to spoof. Since 2024, Gmail and Yahoo expect SPF, DKIM and DMARC — quotes and invoices can land in spam or get rejected.
- 96% with no booking force every lead through a form or phone tag. After hours and weekends, that traffic goes elsewhere.
- 88% with no chat means the site cannot answer “What’s a ballpark for my roof?” when the crew is on a job.
- Thin schema and missing social links make it harder for Google and AI assistants to identify the business as a real local installer.
Method: automated checks from the GoPilot free report stack on 30 candidate domains (26 reachable). Company names withheld on purpose.
