Roofing PPC Agency

Roofing PPC Agency Trusted by 50+ Roofers

We run Google and Meta PPC ads for roofing contractors across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland. Below is a live campaign — not a case study from 2026, not a hypothetical.

Quick Answer Roofing PPC differs from general contractor PPC because demand spikes around storm and insurance-claim events rather than seasons. An agency that bids the same way on emergency-repair searches and "cost of a new roof" research searches is wasting budget on one of the two.

Why Roofing PPC Is Different

Roofing demand moves in spikes, not seasons

A wind event hits New Jersey on a Tuesday. By Thursday, search volume for "emergency roof repair" is up four times over baseline, then it's gone within ten days. Bid the same on Tuesday and the following month and you'll either miss the spike or overpay for searches that have gone cold.

Insurance-claim leads and out-of-pocket replacement leads aren't the same buyer either. One wants a contractor who'll handle the adjuster. The other is price-shopping over three months. We've built separate campaign structures for each — same client, different funnel.

Why It Works

Roofing Demand Moves in Spikes — Your Campaign Structure Should Too

2026 Case Study

Toronto Roofing Group — live Meta PPC campaign data

Toronto, ON Meta Lead Ads 6 ad variants tested $966.04 total spend

Six creative variants ran simultaneously against the same audience and budget pool. The spread in cost-per-lead — from $23.50 to $42.96 — came down to one variable: the ads with a clear roofline against open sky out-pulled the ones shot from ground level looking up. Roofline-forward creative read as "finished work" faster in a scrolling feed.

Ad performance by variant, current reporting period
Ad Results Reach Frequency Cost per Lead Amount Spent
New Leads Ad – Copy 4 11 5,443 1.87 $41.00 $451.01
New Leads Ad – Copy 7 1,842 1.92 $34.98 $244.86
New Leads Ad – Copy 4 5 2,216 1.74 $42.96 $214.78
New Leads Ad – Copy 6 1 413 1.53 $30.04 $30.04
New Leads Ad – Copy 1 290 1.34 $23.50 $23.50
New Leads Ad 23 1.22 $1.85
The top variant carried the highest reach and a 1.87 frequency — close to our ceiling but not over it. We rotated budget away from the bottom two variants within five days rather than letting the testing period run its standard course. Holding a losing ad for the sake of "statistical significance" costs roofing clients real lead volume during a window that may not repeat for weeks.

Six creative variants ran against the same audience and budget pool. Cost-per-lead spread from $23.50 to $42.96 — roofline-forward creative against open sky out-pulled ground-level shots in a scrolling feed.

We rotated budget away from losing variants within five days rather than waiting for statistical significance — holding a losing ad during a storm window costs roofing clients real lead volume.

How We Work

From roofing PPC audit to live ad campaigns in 2 weeks

No discovery call before you've seen something concrete. We pull your roofing ad accounts or your competitors' ad activity first, then talk.

  1. Audit your current spend

    We pull 90 days of account history if you're already running ads, or competitor ad activity in your service area if you're not. Takes about three business days.

  2. Split storm and proactive demand

    Separate campaigns for emergency/insurance-claim searches and proactive replacement searches. Different keywords, different ad copy, different bid strategy.

  3. Launch with 4–6 creative variants

    Not one ad set guessing. We test roofline angles, copy length, and CTA framing simultaneously against the same budget pool.

  4. Cut losers inside the first week

    We don't wait for "statistical significance" on a five-day storm spike. Budget moves to the winning variant as soon as the signal is clear.

  5. Report cost-per-lead, not impressions

    Monthly reporting shows what each lead actually cost, broken out by campaign type — not a vanity reach number.

Google vs. Meta for Roofing

Which PPC advertising platform is best for your roofing company?

Google Search differs from Meta in that it catches people actively typing "roof leak repair near me" — high intent, higher CPC. Meta differs from Google in that it reaches homeowners before they've started searching, which works better for proactive replacement campaigns than for storm-emergency response.

Factor Google Search Meta Ads LeadGulls Approach
Best for Active emergency searches Proactive replacement awareness Run both, budget split by intent type
Typical CPC range Higher, intent-driven Lower, volume-driven Bid storm keywords aggressively, replacement keywords steadily
Storm responsiveness Fast — can launch same day Slower creative approval cycle Pre-approved storm creative sits ready before season starts
Reporting signal Search term data Frequency and reach data Watch Meta frequency ceiling near 1.9 closely

What We Run

Google, Meta & ChatGPT — Built for Roofing Lead Intent

Google Search catches "roof leak repair near me." Meta reaches homeowners before they start searching — better for proactive replacement than storm response. ChatGPT Ads covers the growing AI-assisted contractor research path.

Every channel runs with separate storm and replacement tracks, call tracking on every ad group, and roofline-forward creative — not one blended account guessing at intent.

Why LeadGulls

We've watched a five-day storm spike disappear before the testing period was "supposed" to end

Most agencies run roofing the same way they run plumbing or HVAC accounts. We've seen this pattern dozens of times: a wind event creates demand, the agency's standard 14-day testing window runs its course, and by the time a "winning ad" is declared, the spike that generated it is over. Built before launch. Not after.

If your primary objection is working with an agency that hasn't actually run roofing accounts — fair. The Toronto Roofing Group table above is a live account, not a portfolio slide. Ask to see the account directly during your audit call.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast can a roofing PPC campaign launch after a storm?

If creative and keyword groups are pre-approved before storm season, Google Search ads can go live the same day a weather event hits. Meta campaigns take longer due to ad review, which is why we prep storm-response creative in advance rather than building it reactively.

What's a realistic cost per lead for roofing PPC?

It varies by market and intent type, but the Toronto Roofing Group account above ranged from $23.50 to $42.96 per lead across six variants run in the same period. Insurance-claim campaigns typically cost more per lead than proactive replacement campaigns.

Do you separate insurance-claim leads from cash-pay leads?

Yes. They're different buyers with different objections, so they get separate ad groups, separate landing pages, and separate bid strategies rather than one generic "get a quote" funnel.

Is ChatGPT Ads worth running alongside Google and Meta for roofing?

It's early, but homeowners are increasingly asking AI assistants for contractor recommendations before opening a search engine. We run it as a supplementary channel tested against Search and Meta performance, not a replacement for either.

What happens during the free audit?

We pull 90 days of your existing ad account data, or local competitor ad activity if you're not running paid ads yet, and show you specifically what we'd change. There's no retainer required to see the audit.

Where We Work

Service regions

In the United States, roofing campaigns run across local market regulations governing contractor advertising claims, with insurance-related ad copy reviewed against state-level licensing disclosure requirements before launch.

In Canada, campaigns for roofing contractors in Ontario and beyond follow Competition Bureau guidance on advertising claims, particularly around pricing and warranty language used in Meta and Google creative.

In the United Kingdom, roofing ad copy is reviewed against Advertising Standards Authority rules on substantiated claims, especially for emergency repair pricing and guarantee language.

In Ireland, campaigns follow Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland codes on comparative and price-based advertising claims for home services contractors.
