Get My Free Website CheckSend me your website address. I'll tell you the three things costing you calls.
Not a sales meeting and not an automated score out of 100. I go through your site the way a customer does when a storm has just taken tiles off the roof — on a phone, in a hurry, deciding in seconds whether to ring you — and I write back with the three things doing the most damage.
- ✓Three specific problems on your actual website, not general advice
- ✓Written for roofing customers, not businesses in general
- ✓I'll also check what's holding your Google Maps listing back
- ✓If your site's in good shape, I'll tell you that instead
No obligation, and I'm not going to ring you every week. If you want the fixes written out afterwards, that's a paid job — but the diagnosis costs you nothing.
Facebook can switch your business off tomorrow. Directories sell your lead to four competitors.
Plenty of roofers run on a Facebook page, HiPages and word of mouth instead of their own website. Those have their place. They are not the same thing, and here's the difference that costs money.
You own a website. You rent a Facebook page.
Facebook can change its algorithm, cut your reach, or disable your page, and you have no say and nobody to ring. A website you own keeps its rankings and its history. One is an asset. The other is space you borrow.
Directories sell the same lead several times
When a customer enquires through a directory, that enquiry usually goes to several roofers at once. You're paying for the privilege of racing three competitors to the phone, then competing on price when you get there.
Rankings compound. Posts don't.
A page that ranks keeps bringing work in month after month without you touching it. A Facebook post is gone in a day and a directory listing stops the moment you stop paying. One builds. The other has to be fed.
Who you're actually dealing with
I've not built for a roofer yet — the two below are cleaners on the Gold Coast. Same problem though: they were both paying for leads, and now they're not.
I sold perfume door to door for five years. I thought I was good at it. I wasn't — what sold the perfume was the fragrance. I turned up and held the bottle.
Your website is supposed to be the fragrance. You're already doing the turning up: the van, the ads, the hours, the callouts at 2am. What's written on that site is the bit that has to do the persuading when you're not in the room.
Two businesses I helped build and sold went on to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. I moved to Australia in 2000 and have been building websites and generating leads for local trade businesses for the last ten years.
We used to spend up to $1,200 per week on Google AdWord campaigns for a steady workflow. In a matter of three months Hilton managed to get us ranked in the top position of the Google Map pack for multiple primary keywords, and implemented software that increased our reviews from 18 to over 100. No more AdWords or looking for customers.
I'd been paying for leads from Jim's, HiPages, OneFlare and word of mouth. Hilton promoted my page so that it appears in the Google 3 pack across a wide area for different keywords. This has totally transformed my business — I no longer pay for leads and have withdrawn from both HiPages and OneFlare.
Straight up: neither of those is a plumber — they're cleaners on the Gold Coast. Same game though, and both of them were paying good money for leads before we started.
What Roofing Businesses Do
Roofers in Australia provide essential services including roof repairs, roof replacements, storm damage repairs, insurance claim roofing work, roof restoration, leak detection and repair, gutter installation and repair, roof painting, preventative roof maintenance, and emergency roof repairs. From residential homes to commercial buildings, roofers protect Australian properties from weather damage and ensure structural integrity through quality roofing workmanship and warranty-backed installations.
How Customers Search for Roofers
When someone needs a roofer, they search Google for local, qualified professionals. The most common searches include 'roofer near me', 'roof repairs [suburb name]', 'storm damage roof repair', 'roof leak repair', 'insurance roof repairs', and 'emergency roofer'. Storm-related searches spike dramatically during and after severe weather events. If your roofing business doesn't appear in these searches, potential customers are hiring your competitors instead. Nearly everyone looking for a roofer now starts on Google, and a good share of them are checking for insurance claim experience and warranty information on roofer websites before requesting quotes.
What a High-Performing Roofer Website Includes
- ✓Mobile-responsive design (most roofing searches happen on phones, especially after storms)
- ✓Storm damage and emergency services prominently displayed
- ✓Insurance claim assistance information and experience
- ✓Clear service descriptions (repairs, replacements, restorations, leak detection)
- ✓Service area coverage (suburbs you operate in)
- ✓Before/after project photos showcasing roof transformations
- ✓Warranty and guarantee information (building customer confidence)
- ✓Click-to-call buttons prominently displayed
- ✓Customer testimonials emphasizing quality, warranty, and insurance work
- ✓Google Business Profile integration for Local Pack rankings
- ✓Fast loading speed (under 2 seconds)
- ✓Emergency contact information visible immediately
Website Cost Overview
Professional roofer websites range from $995 for basic presence to $2,995+ for comprehensive SEO-optimized sites with ongoing optimization. Most roofing businesses find the $1,495 SEO-Optimized package delivers best ROI—professionally designed with storm damage messaging, insurance claim expertise display, service area pages, and Local Pack optimization that generates consistent job inquiries. Investment recovers with 1-2 roofing jobs (at $1,500-$3,500 average for residential repairs) or one insurance claim project.
SEO & Local Visibility for Roofers
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) determines whether your roofing business appears when customers search Google for roofers. Effective roofer SEO includes optimizing for local keywords like 'roofer Gold Coast' or 'roof repairs Brisbane', emphasizing storm damage and insurance expertise (critical differentiators customers seek), claiming and optimizing your Google Business Profile for Local Pack visibility, generating customer reviews highlighting warranty and quality work, building local citations in roofing directories, and creating content addressing roofing questions customers search ('how much does roof replacement cost,' 'insurance claim roof repairs'). Without proper SEO, your website exists but remains invisible to the customers using Google to find a qualified roofer with insurance claim experience.
Why SEO-Optimised Roofer Websites Win
Roofers with SEO-optimized websites consistently dominate Google's Local Pack (the map-based listings that take the bulk of the clicks) and convert more website visitors into paying customers. The critical difference: professional roofer websites prominently display insurance claim expertise and warranty information, which customers check before they ring, rank for high-intent searches like 'storm damage roof repair [suburb]' and 'insurance roofer near me', and load fast on the phones where most roofing searches happen (especially storm-related emergency searches). Roofing businesses ranking on Google's page 1 receive vastly more clicks than anyone on page 2—those dominating local search invested in proper SEO emphasizing insurance expertise and warranty confidence rather than relying on expensive paid advertising or directory fees.
