Industry showcase · Finance, funding & complex B2B offers

If your buyer can't understand the offer, they don't buy it

When what you sell has four different structures, each landing differently on a balance sheet, confusion is your real competitor — not the other firms. Making the hard decision feel simple is what wins the enquiry. Here's a build that does exactly that, shown on the right.

The 30-second version

The client
PPA Funding — helps UK businesses fund commercial solar and battery storage, connecting them with funders who install the system, often at no upfront cost. An independent introducer, not the installer or the funder.
The problem
Solar funding is confusing. A power purchase agreement, a lease, hire purchase and outright purchase all behave completely differently on a balance sheet, and most businesses don't know which suits them. The old site sat on a generic template that explained none of it and earned no visibility.
What we built
A clean rebuild with a single comparison at its heart, laying the four funding routes side by side. Around it, a 13-guide library, a pillar explainer and 9 industry pages, written to be found by Google and quoted by AI assistants, with enquiry tracking built in from the start.
The outcome
A genuinely helpful funding site that explains a hard decision clearly, is built to earn visibility rather than rent it, and can attribute every enquiry to its source the moment paid campaigns switch on.

The start: an offer nobody could confidently compare

PPA Funding helps UK businesses fund commercial solar and battery storage. As an independent introducer, it connects a company with funders who install the system, often at no upfront cost, and explains the different ways to pay for it.

That last part is where the whole business lives, and it’s genuinely hard.

A power purchase agreement, a lease, hire purchase and outright purchase all behave completely differently. Who owns the asset, what it costs upfront, how it appears on the balance sheet, what happens at the end — all different. Most businesses looking at solar do not know which suits them, and nobody signs something they don’t understand.

Meanwhile the old site sat on a generic template that neither explained the options well nor earned any visibility. And research in this market increasingly starts with a search engine or an AI assistant, neither of which had much to work with.

So there were two problems stacked on each other: the offer was confusing, and nobody was finding the explanation anyway.

The middle: what we actually built

1. One comparison, doing most of the work

The centrepiece of the site is a single view laying the four funding routes side by side: what each costs upfront, who owns the system, and how it lands in the accounts.

That’s not decoration. When the decision itself is the obstacle, making it feel manageable is the most persuasive thing you can do — and it’s a design job as much as a writing one.

2. Answer the questions properly, thirteen times over

Real visibility comes from genuinely answering questions, so we built a proper library: thirteen educational guides, a pillar explainer on what a power purchase agreement actually is, and nine industry pages for the sectors that benefit most — manufacturing, warehousing, agriculture, cold storage, data centres and more.

Thirty-eight pages in total, each with its own title, description and share preview, each telling search engines exactly what the business is, all tied together with a clean sitemap. Unglamorous groundwork that the old template simply never had.

3. Be in the answer when someone asks an assistant

We left the AI assistants a plain-English file explaining exactly what the business does, and explicitly invited their crawlers in rather than blocking them, alongside clear business details and direct, quotable answers.

So when a finance director asks an assistant how to fund a solar installation without capital outlay, PPA Funding is written to be part of the reply rather than absent from it.

4. Know where every enquiry came from, from day one

Every enquiry posts through a protected form, and the campaign source is captured alongside it.

That ordering matters. Wire the tracking first, and the moment paid campaigns switch on, every enquiry is attributable. Do it the other way round and you spend for months, then argue about what worked.

The end: what it left them with

  • A confusing product made comparable, in one clear view.
  • 38 pages that Google and AI assistants can find them on.
  • 13 guides and 9 industry pages, answering what buyers actually ask.
  • Attribution ready before the spending starts, so paid growth can scale on evidence.
  • An honest position, clearly stated: an independent introducer, educating rather than advising.

If what you sell needs explaining before anyone can buy it, tell us what you need and Harry will come back to you personally. It sits alongside our work for its parent, DVC Group, as part of how we help the renewables and solar sector turn complex offers into clear, findable, high-converting websites.

What a site like this includes

Everything below is either live on this build today, or a popular add-on we build for this industry. Nothing theoretical.

In this build

One comparison that does the explaining

All four funding routes side by side: what each costs upfront, who owns the system, and how it lands in the accounts. When the decision is confusing, the clearest explanation usually wins the business.

In this build

A guide for every real question

Thirteen guides plus a pillar explainer on what a power purchase agreement actually is. Buyers research this heavily before speaking to anyone, and you want to be what they read.

In this build

Pages aimed at specific industries

Nine pages for the sectors that benefit most — manufacturing, warehousing, agriculture, cold storage, data centres. A warehouse operator wants to read about warehouses, not about business in general.

In this build

Built to be quoted by AI assistants

A plain-English file explaining exactly what the business does, their crawlers invited in rather than blocked, and direct answers they can lift. When a finance director asks an assistant how to fund solar without capital outlay, you want to be in the reply.

In this build

Every page properly set up

Its own title, description and share preview, telling search engines exactly what the business is, all tied together with a clean sitemap. Groundwork that most template sites simply never had.

In this build

Honest about what you are

An independent introducer, clearly stated, with content that's educational rather than posing as financial advice. In finance, being straight about your role is a trust asset, not a weakness.

In this build

Enquiries traced to their source

Where each enquiry came from is captured with it. The day paid campaigns switch on you already know which source produces real business, instead of guessing for three months.

In this build

A design that suits the audience

Calm and considered rather than loud. Finance directors are not persuaded by the same things as consumers, and a site that looks like a consumer funnel gets discounted immediately.

In this build

Fast, so the research doesn't stall

Built to load quickly on any connection, because a buyer comparing four funding structures will not wait for a slow page to think about it.

Popular add-on

Interactive savings or payback calculator

Let a buyer model their own payback from their own consumption. It turns an abstract proposition into a number they can put in front of a board.

Popular add-on

AI assistant for qualification

Handles the early questions about site suitability, consumption and funding routes at any hour, then hands over an enquiry with the detail already gathered.

Popular add-on

Long-cycle nurture

Commercial energy decisions run over budget cycles. Automated, genuinely useful follow-up keeps you present rather than forgotten between conversations.

Popular add-on

Paid media on proven tracking

With attribution already wired in, paid campaigns can scale on evidence of real enquiries rather than on clicks.

Questions from businesses like this

My product is complicated. How do I explain it without losing people?

Put the comparison first. This site's centrepiece is one view of all four funding routes side by side — cost upfront, who owns the asset, how it's treated in the accounts. When a decision is genuinely confusing, whoever makes it feel simple usually gets the enquiry, and that's a design job as much as a copy job.

Do industry-specific pages actually work?

Yes, when they're genuinely specific. A cold storage operator has different consumption patterns and different economics from a data centre. Nine real industry pages produce far better enquiries than one generic page, because the reader recognises their own situation immediately.

How do I get quoted by ChatGPT or Google's AI answers?

Explain what you do in plain, factual, quotable statements rather than marketing language, make sure the AI crawlers aren't blocked, and leave them a clear description of the business. This site does all three deliberately, which is why it's written to be part of the answer when someone asks how to fund solar without capital outlay.

Should I set up tracking before or after I start advertising?

Before, always. Here the enquiry source is captured from day one, so the moment paid campaigns start, every enquiry is attributable. Doing it the other way round means spending for months and then arguing about what worked, which is how budgets get wasted.

We're an introducer, not the provider. Should we say so?

Yes, plainly. Being straight about your role — independent introducer, educational content, not financial advice — protects you and builds more trust than blurring it. Buyers in finance are experienced at spotting an unclear relationship, and it costs you more when they find it themselves.

Does this approach work outside solar funding?

Yes. Asset and equipment finance, commercial lending, energy consultancy and any B2B offer with several pricing or ownership structures share the same problem: the buyer can't compare options confidently. Solve the comparison and the rest of the marketing gets much easier.
