What your ad looks like

The Google ad we would write for your roofing firm

Our roofing ads open with the job and the town and give a homeowner a reason to trust you with their roof. Each one lands on a page about that one job. Sitelinks lead to your other roofing work, and a call asset, the tap-to-call button, catches the leak before the next shower. Responsive search ads rotate headlines about leaks, re-roofs and flat roofs, and ad tests keep whichever books more surveys.

✓ Headlines written per roofing job and town

✓ Sitelinks, call and location assets set up

QUICK ANSWER

How do Google Ads work for roofers?

With Google Ads for roofers, your firm appears above the normal results for searches such as “roof repairs near me” or “flat roof replacement” near you. Search is paid per click and Local Services Ads per lead. Good accounts separate repairs from re-roofs, block DIY and car roof searches, and record every call.

Roofing searches we bid on

PPC for roofers, built around the roofing jobs that pay best

A slipped tile after a storm and a full re-roof come from different people with different budgets. We give each type of roofing job its own campaign so the keyword, the advert and the landing page line up. Repair searches get call-only adverts close to your yard. Re-roof and flat roof searches get survey forms, photos of finished roofs and remarketing while homeowners gather quotes. Storm damage pages explain how you handle home insurance claims. Want roofing pages built too? See web design for roofers.

Account structure

How we structure Search and local service ads for roofing contractors

Repairs, re-roofs and flat roofs sit in separate campaigns. A leak search wants a phone number now; a re-roof search wants photos, reviews, scaffolding details and a survey form. Ad groups sit underneath each one, and a single negative keyword list, call tracking and won-job import cover the lot. Ads Starter includes one Search campaign, with more on Growth and Premium. Repair ads run on an ad schedule matched to the hours you answer, inside a tight radius of your yard. Callouts show any NFRC membership or guarantee you offer. Keywords begin on phrase match and exact match. Broad match comes later, once signed-job data can guide it.

Waste control

Negative keywords for roofing, cleaned every week

Roofing searches pull in a strange crowd. Think roof racks, roof boxes, sunroof repairs, roofers looking for work and DIYers pricing felt for a shed. None of them will book a survey. Each week we go through what people actually typed and exclude the time-wasters that day. Performance Max waits until call tracking is proven, as it shows so few search terms.

✓ Negative keyword lists built for roofers

✓ Calls matched to the search that sent them

Search terms report

“roof leak repair near me” → kept, bid up in your towns

“roof rack”, “roofing jobs” and “shed roof felt” → added as negative keywords the same week.

Ads vs quote sites

Google Ads vs Checkatrade and MyBuilder for roofers

Most roofers have tried a quote site at some point, and some still get good jobs from them. The catch is that the homeowner is shopping around on someone else’s platform. Here is how your own Google Ads compare with Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Rated People, row by row, with one draw. Our free tools let you compare cost per lead on each.

Pricing

How much do Google Ads cost for a roofer?

You pay two separate things: our flat management fee, and ad spend that goes directly to Google. Cost per click varies by roofing job and town. So in week one we use Keyword Planner prices for your area to set a target average cost per lead for each job. Good PPC management for roofing companies starts with a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month. Bids move from Maximise Conversions to Target CPA when call data allows, and the monthly report shows impression share and conversion rate. That keeps Google Ads for roofers cost effective, with ROI judged on signed jobs.

Watch for these

Four Google Ads mistakes that cost roofers work

With PPC for roofing, the accounts we audit tend to lose money in the same four places, and none takes long to put right. Fixing them covers most Google Ads for roofers best practices. First on the list are Google’s location options.

Mistake 1

Wide location

Presence or interest pulls calls from far outside your area.

Mistake 2

One campaign

Cheap repair clicks starve the re-roof budget.

Mistake 3

Car roof searches

Roof racks and roof boxes eat the daily budget.

Mistake 4

No call tracking

Nobody knows which keyword booked the re-roof.

FAQ

Google Ads for roofers: questions roofers ask

Yes, when campaigns follow the jobs that pay. Google Ads for roofers work well on urgent leak repairs and on high-value re-roofs, where one won job covers a lot of clicks. They struggle when one campaign bids on every roofing search across a county. They also fail when clicks land on a homepage and nobody checks which calls became work.

Two costs. Ad spend goes straight to Google and depends on your towns and the jobs you target. Our management fee is flat at £395, £595 or £895 a month, with nothing charged for setup and no share of spend. Other UK trade PPC agencies we checked published fees starting around £395 a month plus VAT.

It can be, for one town and one job such as emergency roof repairs. £10 a day is about £300 a month, so learning is slower. At £500 a month you are buying enough clicks to learn which searches ring, not to cover re-roofs, flat roofs and repairs across a region. Keep it tight, track every call, and grow the budget only on the searches that book surveys.

For most UK roofers, the best adverts sit where people already search. That means Google Search ads for the jobs you want, Local Services Ads with your Google reviews, and a strong Google Business Profile. Microsoft Bing ads are worth testing once Google is tracking well. Paid roofing leads from lead generation sites still bring work, but they rarely let you pick the job.

Google Local Services Ads for roofers charge per lead, not per click, and what each lead costs depends on your area and the job. Roofers is one of Google’s UK Local Services Ads categories. You choose a weekly budget and need to reply fast, since Google warns that ignored calls and messages can push your ranking down. Poor leads can be disputed.

Sometimes, for planned work. Facebook and Instagram ads can reach homeowners before they search, which suits re-roofs, roofline upgrades and flat roof replacements with strong before-and-after photos. They rarely suit emergency leaks, where people go straight to Google. We add Meta lead ads on Ads Growth, once Search is tracking well.

Cover the basics first. Keep your Google Business Profile collecting reviews, show NFRC or TrustMark badges where homeowners can see them, and give every job its own web page. Then put paid ads behind the work you want more of. Our marketing for roofers page covers SEO, social and the rest, or ask for a free audit.

A roofing PPC agency runs your paid search day to day so the budget turns into surveys and signed jobs. That means keywords by roofing job, advert copy, bids, location settings, negatives, landing pages and call tracking. Changes are made weekly as results come in. Our PPC marketing for roofing companies also covers Local Services Ads and Meta lead ads.

Give flat roofs their own campaign. People search by material and problem, such as EPDM, GRP or a leaking felt roof. So ads and landing pages should name those systems, show your finished roofs and state any guarantee you offer. Mixing flat roofs into a general roofing campaign usually buries them under cheaper repair clicks.

Usually a mix that covers this month and next year. Google Ads and Local Services Ads bring enquiries now. SEO for roofers makes each enquiry cheaper over time. Steady reviews on your Google Business Profile help you win the click on both. Which part leads depends on how full your diary is. Our case studies show how SEO has worked for other trades.

Leak and storm repair ads can bring calls within days of going live, as those homeowners need a roofer now. Re-roofs and flat roofs move slower, because people book two or three surveys before choosing. The first month shows which searches ring. We judge cost per signed job over the first 90 days.
