Marketing for roofers
We run the website, search and ads together, so the work keeps coming between the storms.
How does marketing grow a roofing business?
Four things bring in roofing work online: your website, Google rankings, your Google profile, and ads. Here's how they fit together.
-
Puts you in the map when someone searches for a roofer nearby. Your Google profile and your reviews decide who they ring.
-
Google Ads for roofers
Puts you at the top of Google the day a storm goes through. You pay per click, and we check the click prices first.
-
Where the other three send people, so it has to be right. Shows the roofs you've done and makes it easy to ask for a quote.
-
Gets your website ranking for repairs, restorations and re-roofs, so people planning the job find you without a click charge.
Ads and the map bring people to your website, the website turns them into quote requests, and every job done properly adds the reviews that win the next one.

Why this needs thought behind it
How people pick a roofer has changed, and storms move the goalposts. These are the shifts we build around.
-
Storms bring a rush, not a trickle
One week of storms and hail brought 70,200 insurance claims. Then everyone needs a roofer at the same time.
Insurance Council of Australia, QLD and NSW storms, November 2025.
-
They check before you go up there
After storms, insurers warn people about door knockers and say to ask for ID. Being easy to check wins the job.

People now ask Google and AI

Lachlan from King Tradie is the top G of tradie website design, development, and management. I've worked with many website agencies and individuals, and no one comes close to Lachlan's attention to detail and high-end quality. He doesn't waste your time asking the same questions; in fact, he did his own research and made the onboarding and entire website development process easy. I normally get myself too involved in projects, but I literally only had to show up for the photography session. Lachlan handled the rest. If you want to skip the time and money wasters, go with King Tradie.

Since engaging Kingtradie two months ago my website traffic has doubled and most importantly my phone enquiries have doubled. Lachy was easy going and great to deal with. Highly recommend Kingtradie for SEO and website!

Lachy from King Tradie has been absolutely great to work with from the very beginning. He built my website and I couldn't be more happier. He's always checking in with me and has bright ideas for the future. He actually cares for my business and wants the best outcome for me. If you are looking for someone to design a website. Definitely reach out to Lachy.

Highly recommend Lachie from King Tradie! He built a new website for my construction business and made the entire process simple and stress-free. I was able to hand over the reins and trust him to take control of the design and development, while still keeping everything clearly explained throughout the process. The finished website looks professional, the quality is excellent, and I'm extremely happy with the outcome. Most importantly, Lachie allowed me to stay focused on running my business instead of spending valuable time trying to build a website myself. Great service from start to finish!

Marketing questions?
See if we answered it below.
Should a roofer start with SEO or Google Ads?
They do different jobs. Ads reach people this week but stop the day you stop paying. SEO takes months, then keeps bringing enquiries without a bill for every click. Advertisers have been paying roughly $6.71 to $30.20 for a "roofer near me" click (Google Keyword Planner, AU, July 2026), so plenty of roofers run ads while the rankings build.
How do I stop looking like the storm chasers?
After a big storm, insurers warn people about door knockers turning up out of nowhere, so everyone gets careful. The answer is proof that is easy to find: your licence and ABN on the website, a Google profile full of real reviews, and photos of local jobs with the suburb named.
Do I need a new website first?
Not always. If your current website is slow, looks like a template or hides the roofs you have done, we fix that first, because ads and rankings all send people there. If it already shows your work and loads fast, we build on what you have.
How much does roofer marketing cost?
It depends on what you need and how competitive your area is, so we give you a real number on a call, once we know your services, your suburbs and where you are starting from. There are no lock-in contracts, and the monthly report shows exactly what the money did.
How long before I see results?
Ads can have the phone going within days of switching on. Your Google profile and rankings take months to build. Rankings that hold keep bringing enquiries without you paying for each click, and holding them is part of the job we keep doing.
What should be ready before storm season?
The work arrives faster than you can set it up. When a storm goes through, people search that week and book that week, so the storm damage page, the ad groups and the photos on your profile need to be live before the weather. We do that in the quiet months.
