Web design & search · Roofing
Roofing marketing that gets you the re-roofs, not just the repairs.
Nobody buys a roof off the page. The job is being findable when the search happens, getting an enquiry detailed enough to price, and knowing which search produced it.
01 Why roofing companies work with us
The enquiry has to arrive priceable
An enquiry that says "need a quote" is a site visit before you know whether it is a slipped tile or a full strip and re-cover. We build the form, and the web development behind it, around what you actually price from: property type, roof age, what has gone wrong, photographs attached.
One team for the site, the ads and the search
A roofing firm does not want three suppliers to referee. We build the site, run the Google and Meta ads, and do the search work behind it, so the click the ads paid for lands on a page built to convert, wired into the CRM you already run so a lead is tracked rather than retyped. Built to hold as you scale it, across the UK and the US.
See that workStorm demand cannot be won during the storm
Ranking takes months and a storm lasts a weekend. The firms that clear up in a spike are the ones already ranking when the wind got up, which is an argument for starting in the quiet part of the year, usually the exact point at which nobody wants to spend.
How that works02 How a leak and a re-roof reach you by different routes
A roof is bought twice: once in a hurry while water is coming in, and once slowly when somebody has finally accepted that the whole thing needs doing. Nothing here is a lead you buy from us. It is a machine you own: a site that can be found in the hour after a gale, search that holds through the quiet months, and an enquiry detailed enough to price without a ladder.
The storm hour is won by whoever is findable and open
The night a gale goes through, a few hundred people search the same three words within an hour. Whoever loads fast, states the area covered and puts a number where a wet thumb can hit it takes that work. There is no considered comparison in it, which is why the page has to be ready rather than persuasive.
A re-roof is a slow decision made while looking at other roofs
Full replacements are decided over weeks against two other quotes, and the deciding is done looking at finished work. Streets and house types they recognise, scaffolding and access explained, guarantees stated plainly. That is what a second and third visit needs, and most roofing sites do not carry it.
Insurance work arrives through a different door
Storm damage handled through an insurer is a different conversation from a homeowner paying directly: reports, photographs, timescales and a firm the loss adjuster will accept. If you want that work, saying so on the site is most of the job, because almost nobody in the trade does.
Search holds the ground between the storms
Roofing demand is weather-shaped, and paid media follows it up in price. Local terms plus specific ones, a roof covering or a repair plus a place, keep producing in the flat weeks. They are the reason a quiet January is not a dead one.
The enquiry has to be priceable without a ladder
A quote costs you a visit and often a scaffold estimate. Property type, roof covering, roughly how old, what can be seen from the ground and a photograph, asked on the form, is the difference between a diary of surveys and a diary of jobs.
Flat roofing is searched separately and priced completely differently
Pitched work arrives from storm damage and age. Flat roofing arrives from a leak over a kitchen extension and a homeowner who has already been told three different things by three different people. Flat roofing marketing has to name the systems, because the customer has been handed a system name by somebody else and is searching that. Flat roofing SEO is largely making sure those words exist on the page.

Roofing marketing questions, answered
What experience do you have with roofing companies?
The work a roofing firm needs is the work we do: a site whose job is the enquiry rather than a checkout, ads that have to pay for themselves, and search that keeps the right work coming in. What we do is the whole engine: Google Ads and Meta for the enquiries you need this month, SEO for the ones that keep arriving without a media budget behind them, and a funnel between the two that brings the cost per lead down and qualifies what reaches your team. It connects to the CRM you already run, so a lead is tracked rather than retyped, and it is built as a foundation you can scale on rather than something that breaks at three times the volume. Founder-led, 100+ builds across the UK and the US. Tell us how your jobs and storm call-outs arrive today and we will show you where the site, the ads and the search move first.
How much does roofing marketing cost?
It depends which half is actually broken. A site that converts badly wastes every click you buy, so that usually goes first; if the site is sound and nothing is finding it, the money goes into search instead. We scope it after looking at what you have, and we will say so if the honest answer is that you do not need us yet.
How do roofing companies get more leads?
Three routes, in the order they usually pay back. Make the site turn the visits you already get into enquiries, which is the cheapest and the one most firms skip. Rank for the jobs you want in the towns you cover, which is slow and compounds. Buy the searches you cannot rank for yet, which is fast and stops the day you stop paying.
Do you do roofing SEO as well as build the site?
Yes, and on roofing the two are hard to separate. A page that ranks and then reads like a brochure has cost you the click for nothing, so the build and the search get planned together rather than handed between two suppliers. The guide below is the long version of how we would approach the search half.
How long does it take a roofing website to rank?
Months rather than weeks, and longer in a competitive city than a quiet county. What moves sooner is the conversion side: the same traffic producing more enquiries is usually visible within a few weeks, which is why we do that part first rather than asking you to wait two quarters for any signal at all.
Do you work with storm damage and insurance work?
Yes, though it belongs on its own page and often speaks to a different buyer. Insurance and storm work carries its own search behaviour, its own objections and a different urgency, and it rarely converts on the same page as a planned re-roof. It gets written separately or it gets written badly.
Can you run Google Ads for roofers as well as the organic side?
Yes, that is one of the services we sell. It matters more here than on most terms: ads, the map pack and directories take a large share of the clicks above the first organic result, so treating roofing search as an organic-only problem hands away the top of the page.
How much photography does a roofing site need, and is drone footage worth it?
Photography, a lot; drone footage, sometimes. Finished roofs shot from the ground sell the work perfectly well, and the drone earns its place in the survey rather than the marketing, where a customer seeing their own roof close up is what closes the job. If you are already flying for surveys the footage is free, and then yes, use it.
We want commercial and new-build work as well as domestic. One site or two?
One site, two clear routes. A main contractor wants your accreditations, your insurance, your capacity and your programme; a homeowner wants to know what a re-roof costs and whether you turn up. They read nothing in common, which is a reason for separate sections rather than separate domains.
Should we put prices on the site?
Ranges, yes. Nobody can price a re-roof from a photograph and customers know that, but a page that explains what moves the number, access, pitch, tile type, scaffolding, and gives a bracket, filters out the enquiries you did not want and warms up the rest. A single headline price is the version that causes arguments later.
Is roofing web design included, or just the marketing?
Both, one project rather than two. Marketing for roofing companies without a site built to convert the traffic is money left on the table, so roofing company marketing here always includes the build. Roofing lead generation is the actual thing we are optimising for throughout, not visits or rankings on their own.
Can you remarket to people who requested a quote but never booked?
Yes, and on a re-roof it usually matters more than the first ad did. Most homeowners get two or three quotes before deciding, so we set up remarketing to the people who already enquired rather than only chasing new ones, which is normally the cheaper click of the two.
