Booked roof inspections, timed to when homeowners decide.

Roofing demand is not steady. It spikes after hail and wind, and it builds ahead of the wet season. We project what a booked inspection should cost, then move budget toward the moments homeowners actually call.

The short answer

What is the best way to get roofing leads?

The best roofing leads come from homeowners searching for a roofer right now, through Google Search and Local Services Ads, with spend that increases quickly after storms in your service area. Meta and video build name recognition so you are the company they remember when they need one.

Roofing leads are expensive because each job is worth thousands. The measure that matters is cost per booked inspection compared with your inspection-to-contract rate.

We filter out repair-only, DIY and job searches when you want replacement work, and we keep retail and insurance-claim campaigns separate so each is measured on its own terms.

The number we manage to

Cost per booked inspection, against what a roof is worth.

A roofing lead is only worth something once it becomes an inspection on the calendar. We project and report cost per booked inspection, then contracts signed.

Because a replacement can be worth $12,000 or more, a disciplined account can afford a higher cost per inspection than most roofers expect, as long as callbacks are fast.

Example roofing math
Average replacement value$14,000
Inspection-to-contract rate30%
Revenue per booked inspection$4,200
Target cost per booked inspection≤ $200
Inspections from $4,000 ad spend~20

Where budgets leak

Where roofing budgets leak.

Roofing accounts lose money when they run the same way in a storm week as in a quiet week, and when nobody answers the phone.

What we fix first

  • Flat budgets that miss storm demand
  • Repair, DIY and supplier searches mixed into replacement campaigns
  • Missed or slow callbacks on high-value leads
  • No call tracking, so phone leads are invisible
  • Paying for invalid Local Services leads without disputing them
Call handling

Most roofing leads call. Answer them.

A roofing campaign can be profitable on paper and still lose money if calls go to voicemail during busy weeks.

We review call outcomes before changing ads, because the fix is often on the phone, not in the account.

Our call checklist for roofers

  • Tracked numbers on every ad and page
  • Calls under 60 seconds reviewed, not counted
  • After-hours calls routed to a person or a fast callback
  • Outcome logged: inspection booked or not
  • Weekly review of missed calls by time of day
Roofing marketing questions

Roofing advertising, answered plainly.

How much do roofing leads cost?

It varies widely by market and season. The more useful number is cost per booked inspection compared with your inspection-to-contract rate and average job value. Our projection calculates the most you can afford to pay.

Should roofers use Local Services Ads?

For most residential roofers, yes. Local Services Ads appear above regular search ads, charge per lead and carry the Google Guaranteed badge. They work best alongside Google Search campaigns.

How do roofers get storm damage leads?

Have campaigns and creative ready before a storm, then raise budgets quickly in affected ZIP codes. Speed to call back matters most, because homeowners contact several roofers after a storm.

Do you track phone calls for roofers?

Yes. We track calls from ads and landing pages, count calls over a set length as leads, and connect them to booked inspections so you can see which campaigns produce jobs.

Should roofers run ads for insurance claim work?

If you handle claims, yes, in separate campaigns with accurate messaging about inspections and help with the process. Keep them apart from retail replacement so each is measured on its own.

How fast do roofers need to respond after a storm?

As fast as possible. Homeowners contact several roofers after a storm, and the first to call back and book an inspection usually wins.
