Structure
Campaign Architecture
We split residential, commercial, and storm damage into separate campaigns so each has its own budget, messaging, and bidding strategy instead of competing against each other internally.
Roofing - PPC
PPC for Roofing Contractors
Roofing CPCs run $10-$40 on Google Search, and storm damage terms push higher in active weather markets. That's not cheap traffic, so broad match keywords and generic landing pages waste budget fast. We build tight campaign architecture and landing pages designed to convert at 4-8%, so the clicks you're paying for turn into scheduled estimates.
Why PPC Works for Roofing Contractors
Organic rankings take months to build, but PPC gets you in front of a homeowner the moment they search "roof leak repair near me" or "storm damage roofer." For a category with sales cycles as short as 1-30 days on the residential side, that speed matters. A well-run campaign fills the gap while your SEO program builds toward long-term rankings.
Approach
Our Roofing PPC Approach
Targeting
Keyword Strategy
Tight match types and consistent negative keyword work keep spend focused on searches that actually convert, instead of leaking budget to broad, low-intent traffic.
Messaging
Ad Copy
Ad copy built around your certifications, response time, and financing options, tested and refined against what actually gets clicks and calls in your market.
Conversion
Landing Pages
Dedicated landing pages matched to ad intent, built to convert at 4-8%, with fast load times and lead forms short enough to actually get filled out.
Local ads
LSA Management
Google Local Services Ads carry a verified badge that builds trust before a homeowner even clicks. We manage LSA alongside your search campaigns so budget and messaging stay coordinated.
Roofing-Specific PPC Considerations
Storm seasonality and surge
Storm events can spike demand overnight. We build campaigns that can scale up quickly when a weather event hits your market, without losing efficiency the rest of the year.
Geography precision
Roofing is hyper-local. We use tight geographic targeting and location-specific ad copy so budget isn't wasted on searches outside your actual service area.
Competitor conquest terms
Bidding on competitor brand terms can be effective in roofing, where homeowners often compare 3+ contractors. We approach this carefully and within Google's policies.
Commercial as a separate process
Commercial roofing buyers research longer and convert through a different process than residential homeowners. We build separate campaigns and landing pages so neither audience gets a generic experience.

FAQ
How much should a roofing company spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your market size, competition, and how many leads per month you need. Roofing CPCs run $10-$40, so a single-market residential program often starts around $2,000-$5,000/mo in ad spend, with multi-market or residential+commercial coverage running higher. We'll recommend a specific starting budget once we understand your market and goals.
Can PPC handle storm-driven demand spikes?
Yes, and it's one of the strongest use cases for PPC in roofing. We build campaigns that can scale up quickly when a weather event drives sudden demand, with landing pages and ad copy already prepared for storm damage and insurance claim searches.
Do you manage Google Local Services Ads?
We do. LSA's verified badge is a real trust signal for homeowners deciding who to let on their roof, and we manage it alongside your search campaigns so budget and messaging stay coordinated across both.
How do you separate residential and commercial campaigns?
Residential and commercial roofing buyers search differently and move through a different sales process, so we run them as separate campaigns with their own keywords, ad copy, and landing pages. That keeps each audience getting a message built for them instead of a generic one.
How soon will I see leads after launching a campaign?
Paid search can generate leads within days of launch, though the first few weeks typically involve tuning as we gather real performance data. We monitor closely early on and make adjustments to keyword targeting, bids, and ad copy as the data comes in.
