Roofing · United States
SEO, Google Ads and Local Services Ads built for roofers, and tracked from the first click to the signed job. You see which marketing books inspections, and which just burns budget.
What’s included
Quick answer
A roofing marketing agency helps roofing contractors get found and chosen by homeowners who need a repair or a new roof. That usually means local SEO and your Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Local Services Ads, and landing pages that turn visits into calls. A good agency also tracks which leads become signed jobs, so your budget follows revenue, not clicks.
Sound familiar?
Most roofers who call us have been burned before. If any of these are familiar, you’re in the right place.
By the time you call, the homeowner has already heard four pitches.
You pay the same for a tire-kicker as for a real replacement job.
Clicks go up. The schedule doesn’t. Nobody can tell you which calls became signed roofs.
Leaving means losing money you already spent.
Evening storm calls go to voicemail, and then to the next roofer on the page.
What we do
We build the marketing roofing jobs actually come from, and connect every piece to the same tracking.
Service and city pages for the work you want, a complete Google Business Profile and a steady flow of reviews, so you show up in the map pack beyond your own street.
Separate campaigns for repair, replacement and storm work, tight negative keywords, and ads that run when someone can answer the phone.
Setup and verification for the Google Verified badge, then ongoing work on reviews, response times and budget, so you get pay-per-lead calls at the very top of Google.
Before-and-after jobs, reviews and storm-season offers shown to homeowners in your area, plus retargeting for people who asked for an estimate but haven’t signed.
Tracked phone numbers, form and call conversions, and signed jobs sent back to Google Ads from your CRM.
Fast, mobile-first pages for each service, with the phone number above the fold and a short estimate form.
Google Ads & Local Services Ads
Roofing demand comes in two kinds. An active leak after a storm is urgent and goes to the first roofer who answers. A planned replacement is researched for weeks, compared on price and often involves financing or an insurance claim. Mixing them in one campaign lets the researchers spend the budget meant for emergencies.
Keywords
Half of good roofing PPC is what you don’t pay for. These examples come from US search data for roofing.
We don’t block cost searches like “roof replacement cost”: tens of thousands of US homeowners search it every month as they get ready to buy. “GAF certified roofers near me” is a buyer too, so we block GAF product searches, never the brand on its own.
Benchmarks
Roofing is one of the most expensive trades on Google, so your budget has to be planned around cost per signed job, not cost per click.

Your numbers will differ.
Three replacement jobs a month usually pay for the budget many times over. That’s why we measure cost per signed job, and why the speed of your callback matters as much as the ads.
Try your own numbers in the budget calculator| Market | Population | Monthly ad spend |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 200,000 | $2,000–$4,000 |
| Mid-size | 200,000–1 million | $4,000–$6,000 |
| Large metro | Over 1 million | $6,000–$8,000+ |
Ad spend only, before management fees. Smaller markets can start lower; the split by market size is our starting guidance.
Tracking
Google happily reports “conversions” while your schedule stays empty. We track every lead through to the job, so the ads learn from real revenue.
Tracked phone numbers show which campaign and keyword made each call, and short calls or spam are filtered out.
Qualified, wrong service, out of area or spam, so you see lead quality, not just lead count.
From tools like JobNimbus or AccuLynx, or a simple sheet if that’s what you use.
Once enough jobs are recorded, bidding optimizes for the leads that actually become roofs.
Before you hire
Ask any agency these five questions before you sign. The answers tell you more than their sales deck.
If you leave, you should keep everything.
Shared leads sold to several roofers close far less often.
A flat fee keeps the agency focused on your results. A percentage of ad spend rewards them for spending more.
If they can’t track it, they can’t improve it.
Long lock-ins protect the agency, not you.

FAQ
Most roofing companies starting with Google Ads spend $2,000–$8,000 a month on ads, plus a management fee, depending on market size. The right number depends on how many jobs your crews can take and your close rate. Start with enough budget to get about 100 clicks a month in your main service, then scale what books jobs.
The roofing and gutters average is about $228 per lead from search ads (LocaliQ, 2025). Well-run campaigns in smaller markets often get below that, while big metros and storm seasons push it higher. Cost per signed job matters more: a $300 lead that closes often beats a $60 shared lead that doesn’t.
Yes, when campaigns target repair and replacement searches, block DIY and job-seeker searches, and track calls to signed jobs. A single replacement is often worth more than a month of ad spend, so a few extra signed jobs usually cover the cost. The losses come from broad keywords, missed calls and no tracking.
Start with Google Ads and Local Services Ads if you need jobs in the next 30 days, and build SEO at the same time. Ads bring leads within days, while SEO and Maps rankings usually take 3–9 months but keep working without a cost per click. Most roofers end up running both.
Yes. They appear above regular Google Ads and you pay per lead, not per click. Google now shows a single Google Verified badge and credits invalid leads automatically, so the work is in reviews, fast responses and accurate service and area settings. They work best alongside Search campaigns.
Usually not as your main source. Shared leads are sold to several roofers at once, so you compete on speed and price before you’ve seen the roof. Leads from your own ads and SEO cost more to build but belong only to you.
Use tracked phone numbers, record every lead in a CRM or sheet, and mark inspections and signed jobs. Sending those results back to Google Ads lets the platform bid toward leads that become jobs. We set this up in the first weeks of every roofing account.
Paid campaigns usually bring the first leads within 1–2 weeks and settle in around 90 days. SEO and Google Maps rankings usually show clear movement in 3–6 months, and longer in competitive metros. Anyone promising a full schedule in 30 days is usually selling shared leads.
