SEO for roofers: more roofing jobs from Google

How it starts

How people search for a roofer

  • After a storm: "roof leaking", "emergency roof repair", "storm damage roof". Searches jump after bad weather, and people call fast.
  • Planned work: "roof restoration", "re-roofing cost", "gutter replacement". They compare photos and reviews first.
  • By area: "roofer Robina", "roof repairs northern suburbs".

For most of these, Google shows the local pack first: the map and three businesses Google shows above the normal results for local searches. Roofer SEO works on the map and the normal results.

From our experience

What we usually find on roofing websites and profiles

  • Few or no photos on the Google Business Profile, when roofing is sold on photos.

  • All services on one page, so restorations and leak repairs don't rank separately.

  • Copied suburb pages with the wrong suburb left in.

  • No tracking, so a busy storm week can't be traced to the website.
