Google Ads and Local Services Ads for roofers

We set up and manage Google Local Services Ads, the pay-per-lead listings at the top of many local searches, and Google search ads for roofing keywords. Every lead is tracked into your CRM so you can see what each one cost and whether it booked.

Questions

Straight answers.

What's the difference between Local Services Ads and Google Ads?

Local Services Ads appear at the top of many local searches and you pay per lead. Google Ads are search ads where you pay per click and choose the keywords. Many roofing companies use both.

Do you handle the Local Services Ads verification?

We guide you through it and prepare what Google asks for. Google runs its own checks, such as license, insurance and background checks, and sets its own timing.

Can I get credit for bad Local Services leads?

Google lets advertisers dispute some leads, such as wrong services or areas. We review your leads and dispute the ones that qualify.

Is Google Ads included in every package?

Local Services Ads setup and optimization are in every package. Google Ads creation and management is part of Scale.

How does Google rank Local Services Ads?

Google says it weighs your bid, your responsiveness to inquiries (missed calls can hurt), how relevant your business is to the search, which lead types you accept, and your profile quality: rating, number of reviews, response time and photos.

Which roofing keywords are worth paying for?

Searches with a clear need and a place, such as roof replacement, roof repair near me and storm damage roof repair. We block searches from job seekers, do-it-yourselfers and people shopping for materials.
