How We Help Roofing Business through Local SEO

To put it bluntly, local SEO is a pain in the ass. We know because we’ve been doing it since the Stone Age of the Internet.

It’s not rocket science-complicated, of course, but there are a ton of moving pieces, and they’re easy to get wrong.

Below is an overview of the playbook we follow. Check our local SEO case studies to take a sneak peek at our results.

Keyword Research

Local keyword research plays an important role in what we do. We find the terms your customers are searching for, and then we go about optimizing your website around those terms.

Site Structure Strategy

You wouldn’t bother putting a roof on a collapsing house, right? Same thing with websites – we ensure that the foundational elements of a site are in place before doing other work on it.

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

We use local on-page SEO and local entity optimization strategies to ensure that search engines know what your individual web pages and overall website are about. This sends relevance signals to search engines, which gives them trust that they can rank your business for relevant search terms.

Content Writing

You need copy on your website. Why not have it be good and convincing? We write copy that encourages site visitors to convert into paying customers.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO issues on websites can hold them back from ranking. We get these squared away when we take on a new website and consistently monitor sites for any changes.

Citation Management/Link Building

We use local citation building to send relevance signals to search engines and to attract leads from directories. By earning quality local backlinks, we strengthen your website’s credibility in search engines, as they treat links as votes of confidence.

Google Business Profile Optimization

We set up and optimize Google Business Profiles to put your best foot forward. Google Business Profiles are often the first thing someone sees when they search for a local business. You want to be one of the first, and you want good social proof from customer reviews.

Detailed Reporting

In all honesty, these are an absolute snooze fest to put together. But they do keep you in the loop, and they show what’s working and what’s not.

Frequently Asked Questions About Local SEO for Roofers

Find answers to commonly asked questions about local search engine optimization for local roofers below.

How do I promote my roofing business?

There are many ways. Most of them involve spending an ass load of money. TV and radio ads, for instance. Very expensive and hard to track.

Local SEO lets you get in front of people who are looking to hire a roofer without having to pay for every single click.

How can I use AI to get roofing leads?

The main strategy to use is to get mentioned/cited in AI overviews for local roofing terms. In general, the way to do that is with good old-fashioned SEO plus getting mentioned on platforms like Reddit. You can use AI tools to do things like generate ideas and images for ad campaigns. You can use it to generate copy for your landing pages on your website. However, proceed with caution and edit any AI output heavily because you can be penalized for it, plus people don’t appreciate being fed AI slop.

Is it worth paying someone to do local SEO?

How long does it take to see results from local SEO efforts?

You can expect local SEO to take a few months to start seeing concrete results. At the six-month mark, things should be really kicking into gear. Further on down the line, results should keep improving, as SEO has a compounding effect. When your website starts ranking highly in Google, it starts attracting backlinks, which strengthen and solidify rankings.
