How fast can Google Ads start generating leads for my roofing company?

Pretty much immediately. Once the campaign is live and approved — usually within a couple days — your ads can start showing up in search results. Most roofers start getting calls within the first week. The campaign gets sharper over time as we gather data on what's converting.

What's the difference between the ad spend and the management fee?

The management fee starting at $750/mo is what you pay us to build, run, and adjust your campaigns. The ad spend is a separate budget that goes directly to Google — that's what pays for the actual clicks. We'll recommend a budget based on your market and goals, but you control how much goes to Google.

Can you target ads to show only when there's been storm damage in the area?

We can't auto-detect weather, but we can absolutely react fast. When a storm hits Kilgore or the surrounding area, we ramp up your budget and activate storm-specific ad campaigns within hours. This is one of the biggest advantages of having someone actively managing your account.

Do I need a website before running Google Ads?

You need somewhere to send the traffic, yeah. If you don't have a site yet, we can build one — a full website for a roofing company starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. We can also build a standalone landing page specifically designed for your ad campaigns.

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

That's honestly the most common thing we hear from roofers. Usually the issue is sloppy targeting, no negative keywords, and nobody watching the campaign after it launched. A properly managed campaign looks nothing like a DIY setup. The platform works — it just needs attention.

Last Tuesday's Hailstorm

Say a big storm rolls through Kilgore on a Tuesday night. Wednesday morning, half the town is outside staring at their roof. They're not calling the roofer they used ten years ago — they're typing "roof repair near me" into Google while they're still in the driveway. The first three results they see? Those are ads. And whoever's running those ads just picked up five new jobs before lunch.

Why Most Roofing Ads Waste Money

Google makes it real easy to set up an ad campaign. Too easy, actually. You pick some keywords, set a budget, and Google happily spends your money. But spending money and making money are two very different things.

The problem is usually targeting. Your ads show up for people searching "roofing jobs" — as in employment. Or someone in Dallas clicks your ad even though you're working the Kilgore and East Texas area. Every one of those clicks costs you money and none of them are calling for an estimate. Your cost-per-lead creeps up and you start thinking Google Ads just doesn't work for roofers. It does. It's just not set up right.

There's also the "set it and forget it" issue. A campaign that worked great during storm season in the spring might bleed cash in November. Keywords shift. Competitors adjust their bids. Google changes how it displays ads. Somebody has to actually watch this stuff week to week — adjusting bids, pausing what's not working, testing new ad copy. That's what we do.

What This Actually Looks Like for a Roofer in Kilgore

First — we figure out what people in your area are actually searching for. Not guesses. Actual search data. Things like "storm damage roof repair Kilgore" or "roof replacement near Kilgore College" or "insurance claim roofer East Texas." We build campaigns around those terms because that's where the real jobs are.

Then we set up your ads to send people somewhere useful. Not just your homepage. A landing page with your before-and-after project photos, a simple form to request a free inspection, and clear info about what your warranty covers. If someone's dealing with storm damage and trying to figure out the insurance claim process, your ad and your landing page should speak directly to that. That's how you turn a click into a phone call.

We handle the negative keywords too — blocking out searches for roofing supplies, DIY tutorials, job listings, and anything else that wastes your budget. We set geographic targeting so you're only showing up in Kilgore, Longview, Henderson, and wherever else you actually want to work. No paying for clicks from Houston.

And every month you get a plain-English report. Not a 30-page spreadsheet. How much you spent, how many leads came in, what each lead cost, and what we're changing next. Google Ads management runs starting at $750/mo — that covers the ongoing campaign management, not the ad spend itself. Your ad budget is separate and goes directly to Google. We'll help you figure out the right number based on how aggressive you want to be.

Roofing is seasonal and weather-dependent. We get that. So we scale campaigns up when storms hit and Rusk County needs roofers, and pull back when things slow down so you're not burning budget for no reason. The goal is always the same — get your phone ringing with people who need a roof fixed, not people who are just browsing.
