Lead generation for roofers
You know what you spent last month. Do you know how many roofs it sold?
Most roofing companies run five or six channels at once - aggregator leads, yard signs, truck wraps, door hangers, a Google campaign, maybe a mailer after a storm - and can only tell you what the whole pile cost. We put tracking on all of it, then move the money to whatever is actually producing signed contracts.
We will tell you what to stop paying for. Even if that is us.
The channel and measurement layer for roofing companies: Local Services Ads, Google Ads, storm campaigns, offline tracking, and the follow-up that converts a lead into an estimate.
Roofers already spending on leads or advertising who cannot say which channel produced last quarter's jobs.
Roofing is bought in bursts driven by weather. The budget has to flex with the season instead of running flat all year.
Untracked spend, leads that go cold in an inbox, and paying aggregators for calls that three competitors got at the same time.
Roofing marketing fails quietly, and usually not for the reason owners think.
It is rarely that you are spending too little. It is that nobody can see which part of the spend is doing the work.
Everything gets credited to nothing
A homeowner sees your truck in the neighborhood, notices a yard sign, searches your name a week later, and calls. Your analytics files that under "direct" and you conclude the wrap was a waste.
Leads sit while crews are on roofs
A form comes in at 11am, the owner sees it at 6pm, calls at 7pm. The homeowner signed with the roofer who called back in four minutes. That is not a lead quality problem - it is a response time problem, and buying more leads makes it worse.
Flat budget, seasonal business
Spending the same in April as in October ignores how this trade works. The money should surge when storms drive demand and pull back when nobody is thinking about their roof.
Channels that fit how roofing actually sells.
Local Services Ads
The Google Guaranteed badge above every other result, charged per lead rather than per click. Roofing is a core LSA category and for most contractors it is the strongest channel available.
Google Ads
Search campaigns for emergency and replacement terms, with tight negatives so you stop paying for "roofing jobs hiring" and DIY searches.
Storm response campaigns
Pre-built campaigns targeting affected ZIP codes that we activate within hours of a storm, instead of building them while the phones are ringing.
Call tracking on everything
Separate numbers for the truck wrap, the yard signs, the door hangers, and each ad campaign - so every one of them either proves itself or gets cut.
Speed-to-lead follow-up
Instant text and email the moment a form lands, missed-call text-back when crews cannot answer, and reminders until someone actually connects.
One plain dashboard
Spend, leads, cost per lead, and closed contract value by channel. One screen, real numbers, no impressions.
Local Services Ads sit above everything, and you pay per lead.
LSA puts a Google Guaranteed badge and your review score above the regular ads and above the map pack. You are charged for a lead, not a click, and you can dispute leads that were plainly not roofing work. It requires license and insurance verification and a background check, which is exactly why it works - the storm chasers and the fly-by-night operations largely cannot get in. For a licensed South Florida roofer, this is usually the fastest legitimate route to consistent inbound calls.
- ✓Verification handled - license, insurance, background check
- ✓Bad leads disputed and credited rather than absorbed
- ✓Review score feeds placement, so it compounds with your reputation
Spend like a roofer, not like a retailer.
Roofing demand in South Florida is not smooth. It is quiet through spring, builds with the season, and explodes for two weeks after any storm that makes landfall anywhere near the county. Running a flat monthly budget across that curve means overspending in the dead months and being outbid in the only weeks that genuinely matter. We build campaigns that sit ready and scale hard on trigger - storm passes, budget goes up, affected ZIP codes get targeted, and the emergency copy swaps in automatically.
- ✓Budget that scales with demand instead of running flat
- ✓Storm campaigns staged in advance, activated in hours
- ✓Quiet-season spend redirected toward maintenance and inspection offers
Yard signs and truck wraps work. Untracked, you will never prove it.
Roofing is one of the trades where old-school marketing genuinely still produces - a sign in the yard of a finished job, a wrapped truck parked in the neighborhood for a week, door hangers on the surrounding streets, a mailer to a storm-hit subdivision. The problem has never been that these do not work. It is that they are invisible in reporting, so owners either cut them on a hunch or keep paying on faith. Give each one its own tracking number and the argument ends - after a few months you know which placements earned their keep and which were donations.
- ✓Unique tracking numbers for signs, wraps, hangers, and mailers
- ✓Neighborhood saturation around completed jobs, measured properly
- ✓Direct mail to storm-affected ZIPs with its own attribution
Ads buy this month. Rankings buy the next five years.
Everything on this page stops the moment you stop paying. That is not an argument against it - cash flow is real and roofs need selling now. But it is the reason the strongest roofing companies run paid channels while organic search builds underneath. A page that reaches the map pack keeps producing exclusive calls for years at no cost per lead, which steadily drops your blended cost per job. Paid gets you through this season. Search rankings are what make next season cheaper.
- ✓Paid channels for immediate, controllable lead flow
- ✓Organic rankings as the asset that lowers cost per lead over time
- ✓Both measured in the same dashboard so the comparison is honest

Roofing Marketing FAQs
What does roofing marketing cost?
A flat monthly management fee plus whatever you choose to put into ad spend, which goes directly to Google and stays in your account. We never take a percentage of spend - that model rewards an agency for spending more of your money.
Do Local Services Ads work for roofers in South Florida?
For licensed contractors, they are usually the strongest channel available. You pay per lead, you sit above the map pack, and the verification requirements keep out most of the operations that would otherwise undercut you. We handle the application and the dispute process for bad leads.
Should I keep buying Angi and HomeAdvisor leads?
Often yes at first, then progressively less. Those leads are non-exclusive and expensive, but they produce volume while your own channels build. The goal is shifting spend toward channels where the lead is exclusively yours - LSA now, rankings over time.
Can you really track a truck wrap?
Yes. The wrap gets its own phone number that forwards to your main line. Every call to that number is attributable to the wrap. Same approach for yard signs, door hangers, and mailers - each placement gets its own number.
My problem might be closing, not leads. Will you say so?
Yes, and we would rather find that in the audit than sell you leads that go nowhere. If your close rate is low or callbacks are slow, more spend just makes the leak more expensive. Fixing follow-up is almost always cheaper than buying more leads.
Do I own the ad accounts?
Yes - accounts, data, tracking, and history all in your name. If you leave, the account and its full optimization history go with you.
