Our SEO case studies
Our roofer SEO services
A homeowner searches differently after a hailstorm than when planning to replace their shingles. As an SEO agency in Montreal that takes on roofing clients in English-speaking Canada and the US, we build a roofing company’s search presence around both moments, with the words homeowners actually type.
Emergency searches and project searches
We split roofing searches into two families. For emergency searches like “roof leak repair” or “emergency roofer near me,” we build a short repair page that names the problem (a leak, missing shingles, ice dam damage) and your service area, and we keep your Google Business Profile up to date. Project searches like “roof replacement cost” or “roofer + city” come from homeowners comparing two or three quotes: we answer them with pricing guides and material comparisons that lead to a short quote request form.
A content calendar built on roofing seasons
We time our publishing to the roofing season in your market: replacement pages ready before spring, hail and wind damage pages before storm season, fall inspection reminders on the blog and, where your climate calls for it, winter content on roof snow removal and ice dams. Google Ads campaigns follow the same calendar, to meet demand while organic rankings build.
One service page per roof type
We give each service you sell its own page: asphalt shingles, metal roofing, flat roof membranes such as TPO or EPDM, roof repair, full replacement and attic insulation. A flat roof page speaks to property managers and commercial owners, while a shingle page targets the single-family homeowner: the vocabulary and the photos change from one page to the next, and so does the quote form. We then add location pages only for the cities and suburbs where you install roofs.
A project gallery Google can index
We turn job-site photos into pages: one project per page, with the city, roof type, material and before-and-after photos. Google says alt text is the most important attribute for describing an image, and that file names give only very light clues: “shingle-replacement-hamilton.jpg” says more than “IMG_0423.jpg.” Each project then links back to its service page and its location page.
License numbers, certifications and proof
We display your license or registration number in the footer, on service pages and on the quote form, where your state, province or city requires a license. Licensing and advertising rules for contractors vary, so we check with you what applies, and you stay responsible for those obligations. In Quebec, for example, the Building Act requires the RBQ license number on a contractor’s website. We also give manufacturer credentials their own page when you hold them, such as GAF Master Elite, which lets a contractor offer GAF’s Golden Pledge limited warranty, or membership in the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network.

Everything about roofing SEO
Roofing SEO versus lead platforms and directories
On roofing searches, your site runs into lead platforms, contractor directories and manufacturer “find a contractor” tools. For local SEO, we treat them as channels to claim: a complete profile where homeowners compare, with an identical name and license number everywhere.
Your site keeps what a platform profile shows poorly: your real photos, your starting prices and your exact service area. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Copilot for a good roofer, the answer draws on public sources: your company’s presence in those answers is part of the mandate, the work our GEO agency covers.
Our SEO method for roofing companies
The full method is laid out on the page for our SEO agency for construction companies; for a roofing company, it comes down to three steps.
Map roofing searches by season
We run keyword research by roof type and service area, taking the season and the type of request into account, from emergency calls to quote comparisons. We also measure the traffic the site already gets and the rankings it holds, then fix the common SEO mistakes holding it back.
Prioritize the roofing jobs that matter
We start with the jobs that bring in the most revenue, often full replacements or commercial roofing, before small repairs. If your schedule is already full for the season, we shift the effort toward pages for next year’s replacements.
Do the work, then track quote requests
We work directly on your site: roofing pages, project gallery, Google Business Profile, technical SEO and page speed, schema markup, editorial backlinks and conversion fixes on the quote form. You get a monthly report or a meeting, as you prefer, focused on quote requests by type of job.
What a roofing SEO agency costs
For a roofing company, a mandate usually costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a month. The price depends on the scope of the work and the competition in your service area, not on a fixed price grid. Google Ads management is included, with no management fee.

What is SEO for roofing companies?
SEO for roofing companies covers the work that helps a roofer show up in Google and Google Maps results as well as in AI answers when a homeowner searches for a repair or a replacement in their city. It relies on pages by roof type and search intent, well-documented projects, an up-to-date Google Business Profile and a content calendar that follows the roofing season.
Roofing SEO FAQ
Ahead of the work, because the search starts earlier. A replacement page published in winter can be crawled and indexed before the spring peak, and repair pages can reach homeowners looking into a leak all year, even in the cold months. We prepare each page ahead of its season, then adjust Google Ads campaigns on the same rhythm, scaling up in spring and fall and down in the slow months.
Where your state, province or city requires a license, yes, and elsewhere it gives homeowners a number they can verify. Rules depend on your licensing body, so we check with you which rules apply before publishing. In Quebec, for example, the Building Act requires the RBQ license number on the contractor’s website and on quotes and invoices, in the format “Licence RBQ : XXXX-XXXX-XX,” and bans the use of its logo. You stay responsible for meeting your licensing obligations.
A price range, yes, if you are comfortable sharing one. The page explains what moves the price: roof size, pitch, shingle or membrane type, deck condition and access. It can draw homeowners who are comparing quotes and bring you requests from people who already know the range. The figures come from you, and we review them with you each season, since material costs change.
Text that describes the work shown, since photos are treated as content. Each photo gets alt text such as “asphalt shingle roof replacement in Burlington,” plus a descriptive file name. A few lines about the job complete the page. Google uses the text around the image and the alt text to understand what it shows. Before-and-after photos can also reassure the homeowner who is choosing between two quotes.
By working both sides. A complete profile on the lead platforms and directories that matter in your market, plus the find-a-contractor tool of any manufacturer that certifies you, keeps you visible where homeowners compare. Each profile then points back to your own site, with projects by city, warranties, your license and a quote request that comes straight to you, with no middleman.
If you do that work, yes. A storm damage page explains how you inspect and document hail or wind damage, and an insurance page explains how you work with the insurance adjuster on the homeowner’s claim. We keep both factual: coverage depends on the policy and the insurer decides. These pages can also help homeowners tell a local roofer with a verifiable license apart from a door-to-door storm chaser.
Yes, if you do both. A homeowner mostly looks for a repair or a fast quote on their shingles. A property manager looks for a flat roof specialist and maintenance contracts, with projects similar to their building as proof. We separate those sections and their calls to action, so each reader finds the examples that concern them right away, and each section targets its own searches.
