ROOFING MARKETING THAT WINS THE REPLACEMENT QUOTE AGAINST STORM CHASERS

A roofing job is won on trust before the crew arrives. Homeowners with three estimates in hand Google each company name and compare license, reviews, and photos. Lovell Media Group sets up your Google Business Profile and Local Services Ads, a trust page with your license, insurance, and warranty, Google Ads for repair and replacement, and tracking from first call to signed job.

// HOW A ROOFING JOB IS WON

The Estimate Is Won Before You Arrive

Most homeowners compare more than one estimate before they pick a roofer. The comparison usually includes a search for each company name, so the first things a homeowner sees about you are your license, insurance, reviews, and photos of local jobs.

A canvasser from out of state can undercut a price in one visit. A local company with a clear license block, a real address, and years of local photos gives a homeowner a reason to pick the safer name.

Retail Work and Storm Work Need Different Marketing

Retail replacement and repair come from referrals, realtors, inspectors, and search. Storm-driven work arrives in bursts after hail or wind, and the phones go quiet again when the weather clears.

The mix varies by company, and your own job list shows it. Referrals, yard signs, Angi and HomeAdvisor, manufacturer contractor locators, and Local Services Ads each play a part. We build around the sources you can measure.

Your Numbers

REPLACEMENT

Your average replacement ticket

REPAIR

Your average repair ticket

CLOSE RATE

Inspections booked and share that sign

The audit uses these figures, plus the share of your work that is storm-driven, to decide how to split the budget among repair, replacement, and a reserve for after a weather event.

// WHERE ROOFING COMPANIES LOSE JOBS

Storm Chasers on the Other Estimate

A canvasser can undercut you and disappear by fall. Homeowners want proof that you will still be here.

What we do: We build a trust page with your MHIC license, insurance, local address, crew and warranty details, and photos of local jobs.

Shared Leads on a Five-Figure Job

Angi and HomeAdvisor sell one lead to several roofers. The price per lead rarely matches the close rate.

What we do: We compare each platform's cost per signed job with calls from your own profile and ads.

Inspections That No-Show

A booked inspection that no one attends costs a half-day. Homeowners forget appointments made days earlier.

What we do: We add text and calendar reminders and a confirm-by-text step before each inspection.

Estimates That Go Cold

The estimate goes out and the line goes quiet. A five-figure decision rarely happens in one visit.

What we do: We set up follow-up at days 2, 7, 14, and 30, by text and email, in your voice.

The Storm Spike

A hail event lights up the phone for two weeks, then it stops. Companies without a plan scramble to answer.

What we do: We agree a storm budget and a landing page with you in advance, so both can go live quickly. Ad copy never says you will handle an insurance claim.

Financing Decides the Sale

A homeowner who cannot see monthly payments often delays. Lender rules also govern what you can say.

What we do: If you offer financing, we build a financing page that includes the lender's required disclosures.

Reviews on Weather Days

Rain delays move a start date and annoy a customer. A delay with no explanation becomes a one-star review.

What we do: We write a plan for explaining delays and send a review request after completion.

Name Confusion

A company name close to a canvasser's gets mistaken for it. Mixed-up listings make the confusion worse.

What we do: We use a consistent business name, address, and profile across directories, so homeowners find you and not a lookalike.

// HOW WE WORK WITH ROOFING COMPANIES

License and Insurance Where Homeowners Look

Your MHIC license number and insurance go on the site and the profile. We show only credentials you hold.

No Claim Advice in Your Ads

We do not write copy that says you will handle or negotiate an insurance claim. Your counsel decides what your company says on that topic.

Fee and Ad Spend Stay Separate

You see what goes to Google and what goes to Lovell Media Group as two lines, every month.

Reports Down to the Signed Job

We track calls through inspections and estimates to signatures, so the report goes past lead counts.

Conflicts Disclosed Up Front

If we already work with a roofing company in your service area, we tell you before you sign.

A Clear Way to Cancel

We explain how to end the engagement in writing before work begins.

// Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing Marketing

How much does roofing marketing cost?

Pricing depends on your service area, your mix of repair and replacement work, and your ad budget. Our management fee and your ad spend are separate lines, so you see where each dollar goes. We quote after looking at your market.

How fast will calls start?

Google Ads can start producing calls within weeks of launch, once tracking and your profile are ready. Local Services Ads depend on verification, and organic search takes months. We tell you which stage you are in each month.

Can you help me compete with storm chasers?

Yes, by making your local proof easy to see. We build a trust page with your license, insurance, local address, warranty, and photos of nearby jobs, and we grow your review count. Homeowners who check three names then find yours first.

Can you market insurance-funded work?

We market your roofing services. We do not write copy that says you will handle, file, or negotiate an insurance claim, because that touches licensing rules your counsel should review. We can publish plain pages about your repair and replacement process.

Do Local Services Ads work for roofers?

They can. Local Services Ads place your reviews and a call button at the top of search, and you pay per lead. Eligibility depends on verification of your license and insurance, so we check your status in the audit before any budget is set.

Do I still need Angi or HomeAdvisor?

That depends on your invoices. We compare what each platform costs per signed job against calls from your own profile and ads. Some roofers keep one for slow weeks, and some drop both once their own sources book enough.

Do you work with other roofers near me?

If we already work with a roofing company in your service area, we tell you before you sign. Ask during the free audit and we answer directly.
