SEO for roofing companies.

What's specific to this niche

SEO works differently for Roofing.

Roofing is a high-ticket, low-frequency, trust-heavy purchase — and a lot of demand spikes right after a storm. SEO has to own roof replacement, repair, and inspection in every target city, carry visible proof for a $10k+ decision, and be ready to absorb storm-driven surges.

Roofing has excellent economics and thin volume: around $15,000 a job at a mid-teens margin still leaves over $2,000 per customer, and the arithmetic supported about $14 a click against a market charging about $5. The catch is timing. Between storms every roofer chases the same small pool of planned replacements, and some bid into unprofitable territory just to keep crews busy — which is exactly when organic visibility earned during the busy months is worth more than any bid.
