Digital Marketing for Roofers That Wins Bigger Roofs
Leak repairs keep the phone ringing. Re-roofs, restorations and builder, strata and commercial work are where the margin is. We market each one separately and send every enquiry to a page built for that job.
Not every roofing job is found the same way
Digital marketing for roofers starts by splitting the work. A leak at 9pm and a full re-roof are different searches, different buyers and very different margins. One campaign for all of it wastes money on both.
Leaks & storm repairs
Searched on Google and Maps, on a phone, often while it’s raining. Whoever looks trustworthy and answers first gets the job. Click-to-call goes at the top of the page.
Roof restorations
Owners research for weeks. Before-and-after video and a plain explanation of what a restoration includes, from repairs to repointing to coating, does more than a discount.
Re-roofs & metal replacement
The biggest domestic jobs. Owners weigh tile against metal, warranties and timing. A photo-first quote form lets you judge the roof before you drive out.
Builder, strata & commercial
Usually not searched for at all. These buyers already have roofers they call. Getting onto that list takes targeting by role, not keywords.
Where roofing marketing budgets leak
Small jobs at big-job prices
In one broad campaign, a gutter clean can cost the same click as a full re-roof. Without separate campaigns you can’t see which work you’re actually paying for.
Every quote starts with a ladder
An enquiry with no roof type, no storey count and no photos means a drive and a climb before you know if the job is worth pricing.
The weather runs the business
Storms flood the phone and dry months go quiet. Without builder, strata or commercial work underneath, the whole year rides on the forecast.
The roofing work nobody searches for
Builders, strata committees and insurance repairers rarely Google for a roofer. They call someone they know. We use 3rd party B2B data to reach them by role and industry, with creative about how you work on their kind of job.
Residential & multi-unit builders
Need the roof on to program so the next trades can get in. They care about crew availability, how you handle flashings and roof plumbing, and the state you leave the site in.
Strata committees & their managers
A re-roof or major repair on a complex usually goes to a committee vote. A clear scope, photos and a report the manager can forward are what win the vote.
Insurance repair builders
After a storm, the builders who handle insurance repairs need roofers who attend quickly, document the damage properly and finish to the approved scope.
Commercial & industrial owners
Warehouses and factories with ageing metal roofs. Large areas, long lead times and strict site safety, sold to owners and directors rather than homeowners.
From roof photo to booked inspection
The aim is fewer wasted climbs. By the time you head out, you should already know the roof, the problem and whether the job fits.
The job-type ad
Separate campaigns for leaks, restorations and re-roofs, so a re-roof search sees a re-roof ad with re-roof proof.
The job page
Your licence, insurance, warranty, reviews and before-and-after shots of that type of job, beside one clear call to action.
The photo-first form
Roof type, storeys, rough age, the problem and a few phone photos from the ground. Short enough to finish, enough to triage from the office.
The fast callback
The lead goes to your phone straight away and the customer gets an automatic SMS. Restoration enquiries that aren’t ready go into CRM follow-up.
40 leads a week for a business with several product lines
We haven’t published a roofing case study yet. Noble Balustrades is the closest match: it sells balustrades and railings across several product lines, each with its own campaign and page. A roofer with repairs, restorations and re-roofs has the same shape.
What we built for Noble
The roofing version
Roofing ads built from what you see up there
Examples only, not past campaigns. Your real angles come from your crew, your past jobs and the questions customers ask while you’re on their roof.
Roofing marketing questions
What roofers ask us before a strategy call.
What does digital marketing for roofers actually include?
For most roofing businesses: local Google Maps rankings, Google Ads and SEO for repair, restoration and re-roof searches, a landing page for each job type, call and form tracking, and CRM follow-up. On top of that, 3rd party B2B data campaigns reach builders and strata managers, and we shoot 4K video of your crews on real jobs.
Should roofers advertise all year or only after storms?
All year, with budgets that move. Repair searches spike after storms, so those campaigns need room to scale quickly. Restorations and re-roofs are planned purchases, so you can push them in quieter months. Builder and strata campaigns should run steadily, because those relationships take time to build.
How do roofers get work from builders and strata?
By being familiar to them before they need a new roofer. We target builders, strata managers and insurance repair builders by role with 3rd party B2B data, show them your crews and paperwork, and give them a small first step, such as sending plans for pricing or requesting a roof condition report.
Can we price roofing jobs from photos?
Often well enough to qualify the job and give a ballpark, though you’ll still inspect before a final price. A form that asks for roof type, storeys, age and a few phone photos tells you which enquiries deserve a site visit this week.
How do we stop paying for gutter-clean leads?
Give each job type its own campaign and budget, exclude search terms for work you don’t do, and track calls and forms by campaign. Then you can see what a re-roof enquiry costs against a repair enquiry and put the money where the margin is.
What should a roofing landing page show?
Your licence and insurance, warranty terms, real before-and-after photos of that type of job, reviews from local customers and one obvious next step: click-to-call for urgent work, a photo quote form for planned work. For more on how this fits a wider trade business, see trade business marketing.
