ROOFING LEAD GENERATION: OPTIMIZE FOR SOLD JOBS, NOT RAW LEADS

Repairs, replacements, commercial work, and maintenance have different timing and economics. Match local search, paid search, social, referrals, neighborhood mail, video, and partnerships to the territory and job types you can serve. Make the landing page clear about service, coverage, trust signals, and the next step.

Avoid judging a source by cost per lead alone. Record whether the lead was in territory, qualified, contactable, and ready for an inspection. Cheap out-of-area inquiries can be more expensive than fewer strong ones.

Measure answered and missed calls, speed to first response, booked inspections, estimate delivery, and quote follow-up. Assign each open estimate an owner and next action. These steps often determine whether added advertising spend helps at all.

Use a CRM that keeps source and job type attached to the opportunity. Dedicated numbers or campaign codes can help with offline media, but keep unknown sources visible.

Review spend, qualified inspections, estimates, sold jobs, and gross margin where available. Break results out by job type and territory. If a source creates many estimates but few sales, listen to call and sales feedback before changing the bid or creative.

The first improvement may be reworking old estimates or answering calls faster. A lead-generation program should be accountable for the revenue path, not just the top of the funnel.
