A Meta lead-form pipeline and 30-day nurture for residential solar

For a residential solar installer we built an opt-in pipeline in GoHighLevel (GHL) that a Meta lead form feeds, and a nurture that follows each homeowner for 30 days before passing them to the installer's newsletter. The ads that feed it are live, and we changed the setting that was letting leads in from outside the service area.

The job

From a tap on an ad to a consultation

A homeowner scrolling Facebook sees a solar ad, taps it, and fills in a Meta lead form without leaving the app. Ten minutes later they are back to their feed, and the form is the only trace they leave. The installer has to reach that person while the ad is still in their head, then keep showing up until they are ready to sit down for a consultation.

In the build, each lead-form submission becomes a contact and lands in an Opt-In Pipeline with five stages: New Lead, Contacted, Consultation, Wrap Up and Closed. Each stage name says what has already happened to the lead. Anyone on the sales team can open the pipeline and see who still needs a first conversation and who is waiting on a decision.

Behind the pipeline sits the opt-in nurture: seven sets of messages spread across 30 days. When the 30 days run out, the lead moves to the long-term newsletter the installer already sends, so the first month after the form is the nurture's job and everything after it belongs to the newsletter.

We built the pipeline and the automations, moved the whole build into the installer's own HighLevel agency account, and recorded one walkthrough of the setup and another of the automations. The installer owns the account, the contacts and the history.

The ads are part of the same job. They lead with a power purchase agreement (PPA), and the video ad we made for this installer is running. When leads started arriving from outside the service area, we switched Advantage+ audience off on the ad set and limited the location to people who live in the area. That kind of change is made ad set by ad set, so each ad gets checked on its own.

What we set up

What the residential build includes

  • Meta lead-form submissions arriving in HighLevel as contacts with an opportunity
  • The Opt-In Pipeline: New Lead, Contacted, Consultation, Wrap Up, Closed
  • A 30-day opt-in nurture in seven sets, every message written out in the plan before it was built
  • A hand-off to the installer's long-term newsletter once the 30 days end
  • A knowledge base written from a digest of the installer's website
  • Meta ads with a PPA angle, including a video ad we produced
  • Ad set location tightened so leads come from the area the installer serves
  • Recorded walkthroughs of the setup and of the automations

How a setup runs

How the residential build comes together

  1. A 1:1 with Rob

    Thirty minutes on your lead form, your ad account and what happens today after a homeowner presses Submit. Rob works from your real account, not a slide.

  2. Every message on paper first

    The plan document lists each nurture text and email, each AI prompt and each knowledge-base entry in its final wording. The build starts when you approve it.

  3. Build, then walk through it

    We connect the form, set the pipeline stages and build the nurture, then record walkthroughs so your team knows how each piece behaves.

  4. Handover with proof

    The QA report shows evidence for every part of the residential build, with screenshots, so you can check it yourself.

  5. Changes after launch

    Ask for a change and you hear first whether it fits the agreed scope or is new scope. Work starts after that answer.

What you bring

What we need from you

Ad account and pixel access

Access to the Meta ad account and the pixel. Your Facebook Page can stay with your own Page admin; we do not need it.

Your service area

The towns and counties you install in, so the ad set's location and the knowledge base match where you work.

Your newsletter

Where your long-term email list lives, so the 30-day nurture has somewhere to send leads when it finishes.

One approver

The person who signs off the plan document. Their approval is what starts the build.

Where it stops

No AI calls go out to your Facebook leads. Chat is set to suggest replies on text and social messages, and a person on your team decides what gets sent. The build carries a lead to the consultation; the sale is your team's.

Questions

What installers ask about this build

Will an AI call our Facebook leads?
No. This build places no AI calls to Facebook leads, and if AI calls are ever added, they go only to leads who gave explicit consent to them. The FCC said in February 2024 that AI-generated voices count as "artificial" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which holds them to the same consent rules as other robocalls. This is not legal advice.
Does the AI answer our leads' texts on its own?
No. Chat in this build is set to suggest replies on text and social messages, and someone on your team chooses what to send. The scheduled follow-up comes from the nurture, which is written and approved before it runs.
Why were we getting leads from outside our service area?
On the installer's account, leads were arriving from outside the area the ads were meant for. We switched Advantage+ audience off and limited the ad set's location to people who live in the area. We check each ad set separately, because the setting lives on each one.
What happens to a lead after the 30 days?
The lead moves to the long-term newsletter you already send. The opt-in nurture covers the first month after the form, and the newsletter keeps in touch after that.
Who owns the HighLevel account when you are done?
You do. We built this pipeline and nurture and then moved the build into the installer's own HighLevel agency account, so the workflows, contacts and history stay with the business.
Can the nurture match the offer in our ads?
Yes. Every nurture message is written out in the plan document before it is built, so the offer in your ads, a PPA or a purchase, is in the copy you approve.
