Hail hits at four in the afternoon. Who moves budget by six?

Storm demand does not build. It arrives, peaks inside seventy-two hours, and is gone in three weeks. Cost per click doubles while it lasts and every out-of-state crew in a two-state radius shows up with a laptop and a budget.

The roofing companies that win those weeks are not the ones with the best evergreen campaign. They are the ones whose account can be restructured and refunded the same afternoon.

That is an operational capability, not a campaign setting, and it is the single biggest difference between roofing accounts that work and roofing accounts that do not.

We own trade businesses. We run our own accounts before we run yours.

Roofing is three businesses in one account

Cost per lead in this trade splits cleanly, and almost nobody separates it.

Work typeTypical cost per leadTypical job
Roof repair$120 to $180$500 to $2,000
Retail replacement$250 to $350$10,000 to $30,000
Storm and insurance$350 to $500$10,000 to $40,000, insurer funded

Three completely different economics. A repair lead that costs $150 is expensive against a $700 job. A storm lead at $450 is cheap against an insurance-funded full replacement where the homeowner pays a deductible.

Run them in one campaign and Google optimizes toward the cheapest lead, which is the repair work with the worst margin.

What the click prices actually look like

KeywordVolumeDifficultyCPC
roof inspection27,0000$11.00
roof repair near me83,00048$8.00
roof replacement110,0000$3.00
metal roof installation13,0000$0.80
storm damage roof repair14,0000$0.30

Roof inspection costs $11 a click, for something most roofers give away. Roof replacement costs $3 on a hundred and ten thousand monthly searches for jobs worth ten to thirty thousand dollars.

Metal roof installation is eighty cents. Storm damage roof repair is thirty.

Competitive metros push the headline terms much higher, with reported ranges of $20 to $35 and up, and $35 to $95 during storm windows. The relative gaps hold regardless.

What breaks in a roofing Google Ads account

No storm playbook

Budget stays flat while a hail event doubles demand and doubles cost per click. By the time anyone logs in, the three weeks are over.

Storm-only accounts with no baseline

The opposite failure. Some roofers only advertise after events, which means every campaign starts cold with no conversion history and no Quality Score, at the exact moment competition is fiercest and clicks are most expensive.

Repair, replacement, and insurance work blended

Google optimizes toward cheap conversions. Blend the three and the algorithm reliably finds you the lowest-value work in the trade.

Bidding inspections at $11 a click

Roof inspection is the most expensive keyword in roofing and it is usually a free service. It can work as a top-of-funnel play, but only if you know what percentage of inspections become jobs. Most accounts do not.

Ads running when nobody answers

Roofing runs on the phone. Unless you have staff dedicated to emergency calls, running ads outside the hours you pick up is buying voicemail.

Broad match on “roofing”

The word pulls DIY, materials, shingle prices, and people researching how to fix a leak themselves. Broad match on it burns budget faster than anything else in the account.

Geography set to a metro instead of a service area

Roofing crews have a real radius. Twenty to thirty miles is the practical limit for most companies, and going wider buys leads you dispatch at a loss or turn down.

How we build a roofing account

A storm protocol, agreed before the season

Pre-authorized budget

We agree the ceiling in advance so nothing waits on approval when a hail map lands.

Standing storm campaigns, paused

Built, tested, and sitting paused with landing pages live. Turning them on takes minutes rather than days, and they carry conversion history from the last event.

Geographic targeting by hail map

Turned on for the affected zip codes specifically, not your whole service area.

Campaigns split by work type

Storm and insurance restoration

Storm damage, hail damage, wind damage, insurance claim assistance. Highest cost per lead, highest job value, and cheapest click prices outside of event windows.

Retail replacement

Roof replacement, new roof cost, metal roof installation, shingle replacement. Longer consideration, financing relevant, and dramatically underpriced relative to job value.

Repair

Roof leak repair, emergency roof repair, missing shingles. Fast close, small ticket, and the entry point to replacement conversations.

Commercial and flat roof

TPO, EPDM, coatings, maintenance contracts. Property manager buyer, procurement timeline, repeat relationship.

Inspection

Run deliberately or not at all, depending on your inspection-to-job conversion rate.

Campaign settings we correct first

Campaign goal

Set to Leads, focused on calls and form submissions rather than clicks or traffic.

Location targeting

Presence only, restricted to a twenty to thirty mile service radius rather than a state or broad metro.

Networks

Display and Search Partners both unchecked. They waste local service budget on accidental placements.

Ad schedule

Set to the hours you can answer, unless you have someone dedicated to emergency calls.

Match types

Phrase and exact on money terms. Never broad on the word roofing.

Negative keywords installed before launch

DIY and materials

DIY, how to, shingles price, materials, roll roofing, tarp, sealant, home depot, lowes, calculator, cost per square.

Employment

Jobs, hiring, salary, roofer wanted, careers, crew, subcontractor.

Lead resellers and aggregators

Buy roofing leads, roofing lead companies, angi, thumbtack, networx.

Wrong service

Roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, solar, unless you offer them.

Ad copy built out fully

Fifteen headlines and four descriptions, carrying local presence, guarantees, free estimates, financing, and reviews. Call assets and sitelinks pointing to specific services like flat roofing, metal, and inspections.

Landing pages per work type

Storm traffic hits a storm and insurance page that explains the claims process. Replacement traffic sees financing and material options.

Click to call above the fold, license and insurance visible, and real project photography.

Tracking measured on booked estimates

Call tracking

Dynamic number insertion, so you know which keyword produced which call.

Conversion tracking

Calls and forms both primary through Google Tag Manager.

Booked estimates, not raw leads

The consensus among operators who run this well is that optimizing toward booked estimates rather than form fills produces far better data, in both search and Local Services Ads. A storm lead that never schedules is not a lead.

Offline conversion import

When an insurance replacement closes six weeks after the click, that value feeds back into bidding. Without it, cheap repair leads will always look like your best campaign.

What we report

Cost per booked estimate and cost per closed job, split across storm, retail, and repair. Storm campaign performance measured per event, not per month. Which work type your budget is actually feeding.

Not impressions. Not click-through rate. Not a dashboard screenshot with a green arrow on it.

What it costs

Roofing PPC management

$2,500 a month, flat.

We do not charge a percentage of ad spend. In a trade where storm months can be ten times a normal month, percentage pricing pays your agency most in the weeks they are simply turning campaigns on.

What to expect on media spend

Roofing budgets typically run $1,500 to $15,000 a month depending on service area size, and storm months sit well above the baseline. Clicks commonly run $15 to $70 and higher during storm seasons and in large metros.

How ad spend is handled

Ad spend is billed to you directly by Google. We never take a cut of the media, and you own the account. If we part ways, you keep the history, the storm campaigns, and everything the account has learned.

Most roofing companies we work with also run roofing SEO, because the replacement research homeowners do for weeks before calling is far cheaper to rank for than to buy.

Why us

We own trade businesses. That’s the difference, and most agencies pitching you can’t say it.

Bear Brothers Cleaning is ours. We’ve priced jobs, hired crews, run the phones, and lived with a cost per lead that had to work against real margins. We also run paid search for Plastic Fusion Fabricators and TriHaz Solutions, both industrial operations with long buying cycles and large contracts.

We’ve generated over $3 million in revenue for the businesses we market.

Frequently asked questions

Do Google Ads work for roofing companies?

Yes, and roofing has more upside than most trades because job values are high. The failure mode is running repair, retail replacement, and storm work in one campaign, which lets Google optimize toward the cheapest leads rather than the most valuable jobs.

How much do roofing Google Ads cost?

Cost per click commonly runs $15 to $70 and higher during storm seasons and in competitive metros. Cost per lead runs roughly $120 to $180 for repairs, $250 to $350 for replacements, and $350 to $500 for storm and insurance work.

What should a roofing company budget for Google Ads?

Typically $1,500 to $15,000 a month scaling with service area, with storm months well above the baseline. The budget question matters less than the structure question in this trade.

How should roofers handle storm season in Google Ads?

With campaigns built and paused before the season, a pre-authorized budget ceiling, and geographic targeting ready to switch on by affected zip code. Storm demand peaks within seventy-two hours and is gone in three weeks. Accounts that start from scratch after an event miss most of it.

Should roofers bid on roof inspection keywords?

Only if you know your inspection-to-job conversion rate. Roof inspection is the most expensive keyword in the trade at around $11 a click, for a service most roofers provide free.

What negative keywords do roofing companies need?

The DIY and materials cluster above all, plus lead reseller terms like buy roofing leads, angi, and thumbtack. And never run broad match on the word roofing.

Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?

No. Flat $2,500 a month. Percentage pricing is particularly bad in roofing, where storm months can be ten times a normal month and your agency would earn the most for turning campaigns on.

Do you work with roofers outside my area?

We run one roofing client per market. If we’re already working with someone in your service radius, we’ll tell you on the first call rather than take your money and split the same auction.
