Roofer SEO & PPC 2026 Guide

🚀 Key Takeaways: Roofing SEO Strategy

  • Target "Emergency" Intent First: Prioritize keywords like “emergency roof repair $$City$$” and “leak fix” over generic terms like “roofer” to capture high-conversion leads immediately.
     

  • Dominate the Local Map Pack: Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is your primary storefront. Verification, "Near Me" signals, and review velocity are critical for ranking in the top 3.
     

  • Storm Season Strategy: Switch your budget and content focus during storm season. Use specific "Hail Damage" landing pages and increase Local Service Ads (LSA) spend when weather hits.
     

  • Commercial vs. Residential Silos: Do not mix these services. Google views Commercial TPO and Residential Shingle as different entities; they require separate pages to rank.
     

  • Speed-to-Lead: Ranking #1 is useless if you don't answer. Implement SMS automation for missed calls to stop leads from calling the next roofer on the list.

Who is this for: California Roofing owners, GMs and marketing managers who want booked inspections (not just clicks) across their best neighborhoods.

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

  • SLA: ≤60s first call; ≤5m SMS backup; 5 touches in 24h; 12 in 7 days.

  • Score every call: ready-to-buy / quote only / out of area / spam.

  • Feed scores back into negatives and service areas.
     

45-Day Sprint Timeline

  • Week 1: intent & zip map, tracking.

  • Week 2: landing & GBP tune-up.

  • Weeks 3–4: PPC/LSA relaunch, negatives, extensions.

  • Weeks 5–6: review burst; bid rules by zip; call-score loop.
