Do I need a website before starting digital marketing?

You need somewhere to send people. If your current site loads well, has a way to request an estimate, and shows your work, that can be enough to start. If not, it makes sense to get that right first so your ad dollars aren't wasted.

How long before I start seeing leads from ads?

Search ads can generate calls within the first week or two if they're set up well. SEO takes longer — usually a few months before you see consistent organic traffic. Most roofing companies benefit from running ads while SEO builds up in the background.

Should I focus on Google Ads or Facebook for roofing?

It depends on your goals right now. Google Ads catches people actively searching for a roofer. Facebook is better for building awareness and staying top of mind in your area. After a big storm, both tend to perform well. We'll figure out the right mix based on your budget and situation.

What if I tried Google Ads before and it didn't work?

That's common in the roofing industry. Usually it comes down to targeting — too broad an area, wrong keywords, or sending clicks to a homepage instead of a dedicated landing page. A bad first experience with ads doesn't mean ads don't work. It usually means the setup needed more attention.

Is $750 a month enough budget for a roofing company in a small market?

For a town the size of Big Sandy and the surrounding Upshur County area, yes. You're not competing in a huge metro. The cost per click is lower, and there's less competition. A focused budget in a small market can go further than a big budget in a crowded one.

That Ad Budget Deserves Better

Here's a number worth thinking about: $1,200 a month. That's a pretty common spend for a roofing company running Google Ads without much of a plan. And if those ads aren't set up right — wrong keywords, no landing page, targeting people three counties away — most of that is just gone.

Big Sandy's a small town. Upshur County isn't exactly a massive metro. So the good news is you don't need to outspend anyone. You just need to be smarter about where your dollars go. A roofing company here isn't competing with fifty other roofers for the same click. The field's smaller, which means a focused plan goes a long way.

But "focused" is the key word. Running ads without a strategy is like driving to Longview with your eyes closed. You might get there. Probably not.

Where Roofing Customers Actually Look

When a storm rolls through Big Sandy — and they do — folks aren't flipping through the Yellow Pages. They're on their phones. Some search Google. A lot end up on Facebook asking neighbors who they've used.

So the question isn't "should I do Google or Facebook?" It's "which one makes sense for my business right now?" If you've already got a website with good before-and-after photos of your work, search ads might be the move. If you're just getting started and want to build trust locally, Facebook and email might stretch your budget further.

We'll look at what you've got, where your customers are, and put together a plan that actually matches. Not a cookie-cutter package. A real plan.

What Actually Matters for Roofers

Roofing marketing needs a few specific things to work. Your landing page needs a dead-simple way to request a free inspection. People who just had hail damage don't want to hunt around — they want to fill out a form or tap a phone number.

You also need storm damage and insurance claim info front and center on your ads and pages. That's what people are searching for after bad weather. "Roofing company Big Sandy" gets some searches, sure. But "storm damage roof repair" and "insurance claim help roof" — that's where the real intent is.

And warranty information matters more than most roofers think. When someone's comparing two companies, the one that clearly explains what's covered wins that job more often. Your marketing should make that easy to find, not bury it.

What This Costs and How It Works

Our SEO and ads management starts at $750 a month. That covers the strategy, the setup, the monitoring, and the adjustments. You're not locked into a six-month contract where you're just hoping things get better. If it's not working, we'll change the approach.

If you don't have a website yet — or yours needs work before we send traffic to it — a full site starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. No point running ads to a page that doesn't convert.

We're not going to ask you to spend thousands before you see a single lead. Start small, see what works, and scale from there. That's the kind of advice you'd get from a friend, and that's how we think about it.
