CASE STUDY
A trusted regional roofing contractor had built a strong reputation through referrals and quality workmanship—but had virtually no measurable digital presence.
Built-Right Digital developed a localized, multi-channel marketing system designed to generate visibility, qualified inquiries, and high-value roofing opportunities across the contractor’s target markets.
The Challenge
Before the campaign launched, the contractor relied almost entirely on local word of mouth. Prospective customers searching online for roof repairs, replacements, or emergency services had little opportunity to discover the business.
The campaign had to overcome three primary challenges:
- No historical data: With no meaningful website or campaign history, the strategy had to be built from the ground up.
- A competitive market: Roofing keywords can attract expensive, low-quality clicks without precise targeting and budget controls.
- Hyperlocal service areas: Campaigns needed to prioritize high-value communities across Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Galveston Counties.
The Strategy
Built-Right Digital created an integrated lead-generation system using paid search, Google Local Services Ads, and local SEO.
High-Intent Google Search Ads
We developed tightly targeted regional campaigns focused on homeowners and property managers actively searching for roof repairs, replacements, and emergency roofing services.
Generic, low-intent keywords were avoided, while automated bidding and localized targeting helped direct the budget toward stronger opportunities.
Google Local Services Ads
Local Services Ads were launched to generate verified roofing inquiries on a pay-per-lead basis. These campaigns produced requests for full-roof estimates, emergency repairs, and other high-value projects.
Local SEO
We strengthened the contractor’s local search presence by optimizing its Google Business Profile and creating regional service pages for priority markets.
This helped the company begin appearing for valuable searches such as “roofers Friendswood” without paying for every visit.
The Results
1,745 Website Sessions in 90 Days
Between March 1 and May 31, 2026, the campaign generated:
- 675 sessions from Google Search Ads
- 386 direct sessions
- 232 organic search sessions
- 452 sessions from referrals, social media, and other channels
The mix demonstrated that the strategy was building both immediate paid traffic and broader awareness of the company’s brand.
65 Verified Roofing Leads
Google Search campaigns generated:
- 21,292 ad impressions
- 969 website clicks
- 54 qualified lead forms and phone calls
Google Local Services Ads produced an additional 11 verified project inquiries, bringing the combined total to 65 paid-channel leads.
18,670 Organic Search Exposures
Local SEO generated more than 18,670 unpaid search exposures, creating continued visibility without an additional cost for every impression or visit.
319 Calls in One Month
May call-tracking data showed:
- 319 total inbound calls
- 264 unique callers
- 262 first-time callers
The calls included requests for shingle installations, chimney leak repairs, roof estimates, and emergency services. Multiple opportunities were recorded as appointments or scheduled projects.
The Outcome
In just 90 days, the contractor moved from having virtually no measurable digital footprint to operating an active local inbound pipeline.
By combining high-intent advertising with long-term organic visibility, Built-Right Digital created a system that captured immediate roofing demand while establishing a foundation for continued growth.
