Industries · Roofing
Homeowners don't browse for roofers. They search when there's a leak, storm damage or an insurance claim, and they call one of the first few names they see. My job is to make sure one of those names is yours.
Figures from client Google Search Console data
Roofing is one of the most competitive local searches there is. These are the gaps I see on most roofers' sites.
Storm-damage and emergency repair pages built after the storm are too late. They need history and links before demand spikes.
A 150-word "Roof Repair" page can't beat a competitor's page that explains materials, costs, timescales and warranties.
Homeowners search "does insurance cover roof replacement" long before they call. Roofers who answer it earn the trust and the job.
Either one page for a whole region or forty copied city pages. Neither works. Areas need real local substance.
"Great job!" helps less than "replaced our shingle roof in Fresno after hail damage". Review requests can be shaped to help rankings.
Hundreds of photos with no captions, locations or job details. Each finished roof is a chance to show Google where and what you build.

$0Ask ChatGPT or Google's AI Mode "how much does a new roof cost" and you get an answer built from a handful of websites. Ask "who's a good roofer in my area" and it pulls from reviews, directories and Business Profiles.
I make your cost and insurance guides the kind of source these tools quote, keep your details consistent everywhere they look, and help your reviews mention the services and towns you want to be known for. It's the same work that wins the Map Pack, aimed at the next place homeowners are starting their search.

Lara's site moved from page 3 to page 1 in about four months. Sites with some history usually move faster than brand new ones, and competition in your area makes a big difference.
Only where you genuinely work and can show it: finished jobs in that area, local weather and building issues, the permits involved. Copied city pages with the name swapped tend to drag a site down.
Yes, if the work is done before the season. Storm and emergency pages need time to build history and rankings. I plan roofing SEO around your local weather calendar.
They work well alongside it. Local Services Ads charge per lead and sit above everything else; organic and Map Pack rankings bring in calls you don't pay for each time. Most roofers do best with both.
You need answers more than a blog. Cost, insurance, materials and maintenance guides that homeowners actually search for. A few excellent guides beat a hundred thin posts.
Traffic fell in August after a strong summer. Instead of changing direction, I reworked the pages that dropped most, and by March impressions were above 20,000 a day. The full story is in the case study.
