Local SEO for Map Pack Wins
 

Google Business Profile (GBP) checklist

  • Primary category: Roofing Contractor; add service types (roof repair, leak detection, tile, asphalt, flat).

  • Add service areas you actually serve (don’t overreach).

  • Review velocity goal: ~10/month/location with photos; ask clients to mention service + city (“roof leak repair Fresno”).

  • Weekly photo cadence: teams, trucks, before/after; answer GBP Q&A.

  • Add Products/Services to GBP with clear descriptions.
     

On-site local pages

  • One service × city page (e.g., “Roof Repair in Fresno”).

  • Above-the-fold: outcome headline, proof badges, tap-to-call, short form (name/phone/city/issue).

  • Add LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema.

  • Internal links: service pages ↔ case studies ↔ blog guides.
     

PPC That Filters Price-Shoppers

Account structure

  • Start with Exact/Phrase on: roof repair + city, roof leak + city, roof inspection + city.

  • Add symptom keywords: “ceiling stain”, “leak in attic”, “missing shingles”.
     

Negatives you need

  • Price shoppers: cheap, free, discount, coupon, groupon, low cost.

  • DIY/info: how to, DIY, guide pdf, youtube.

  • Jobs/education: jobs, hiring, salary, apprenticeship, training, classes.

  • Parts/retailers: parts, supplies, ferguson, home depot, lowe’s, ace, amazon.

  • Out-of-area cities (populate your exclusion list).
     

Ad extensions

  • Call, location, structured snippets (Services), promotion (financing/inspection).

  • Callout examples: Same-day leak response • Licensed & insured • Review-backed.
     

Landing pages

  • 1 service × 1 city per page; financing and after-hours notes; proof badges; short form.

  • Mobile: sticky call button; load fast (compress hero image, lazy-load below).
     

Bidding

  • +20–40% bid adjustments for micro-zips that book.

  • After 40 leads, trim low-book zips 20–30%.
     

LSA Management for Roofers

  • Ensure license/insurance, categories, hours (turn on after-hours if applicable).

  • Reviews with keywords (“emergency roof repair Clovis”).

  • Dispute spam; request credits.

  • Daypart for rain/wind events; route to on-call closer.

 Micro-Zip Strategy

  • Use past jobs + census (older homes + higher HHI) to pick 8–15 core zips.

  • Publish neighborhood case studies (photo + problem + timeline + testimonial).

  • Re-evaluate monthly; rotate 2–3 test zips.
     

Speed-to-Lead & Call Scoring
