Roofing PPC (pay-per-click) is the use of Google Ads, Google Local Service Ads (LSA), and Meta Ads to generate roofing leads on demand. Cost per lead typically ranges from $25–$75 for residential roofing and $50–$150 for commercial. Effective roofing PPC includes storm damage campaigns, seasonal bid strategies, and competitor conquesting — running alongside your SEO and AI-search visibility (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) for full-funnel coverage. BaaDigi manages Google Ads for 100+ roofing companies.

SEO takes months to build. PPC generates roofing leads this week. When a homeowner searches "roof repair near me" or "roofing company [city]," your ad appears at the top of the page instantly. They click, they land on a page built for roofers, they call. That cycle can produce qualified leads within 24 hours of campaign launch.
But roofing PPC is uniquely challenging because of storms. When severe weather hits, search volume spikes 500%+, CPCs jump, and every roofer in the market starts bidding. The roofing companies that win during storm surges aren't the ones scrambling to launch campaigns — they're the ones with pre-built storm campaigns ready to activate. Google Ads Quality Score rewards campaigns that have been running, so a last-minute storm campaign will pay significantly more per click than one that's been optimized for months.
Google Local Service Ads (LSA) are the other massive PPC opportunity for roofers. LSAs appear above regular Google Ads with a "Google Guaranteed" badge, and you only pay for actual leads — not clicks. For roofing companies, LSA cost per lead is typically 30–50% lower than regular Google Ads. But LSA setup requires background checks, license verification, and ongoing review management. We handle all of it.

Our Roofing PPC Advertising Process
Roofing PPC Audit
If you've run Google Ads before, we audit what worked and what burned money. If you're starting fresh, we analyze your market's competitive landscape, CPC benchmarks, and the highest-converting roofing keywords in your territory.
Campaign Architecture
We build separate campaigns for roof repair, roof replacement, emergency/storm damage, and commercial roofing. Each campaign targets different keywords, uses different ad copy, and sends traffic to dedicated landing pages built for that specific service.
LSA Setup & Verification
We handle your Google Local Service Ads setup: background check coordination, license and insurance verification, review management, and ongoing optimization to maximize lead volume at the lowest cost.
Storm Campaign Pre-Build
We create pre-built storm damage campaigns ready to go live within hours of severe weather. Ad copy, landing pages, and bid strategies are all prepared in advance — so when a storm hits, you're already capturing leads while competitors are scrambling.
Optimization & Scaling
Daily monitoring during the first month, then weekly optimization. We add negative keywords to eliminate waste, test ad copy variations, adjust bids by time and location, and scale winning campaigns. Monthly reports show exactly what you're spending and what you're getting.

What Makes Our Roofing PPC Different
Storm-Ready Campaign Architecture
When hail or high winds hit your market, you have a 24–48 hour window to capture the surge of "storm damage roof repair" searches. The roofers who dominate this window aren't launching campaigns from scratch — they have pre-built campaigns ready to activate. We build storm-specific campaigns for every type of severe weather: hail damage, wind damage, emergency tarping, and insurance claim assistance. Landing pages, ad copy, and bid strategies are all pre-loaded. When we see severe weather in your area, we activate everything immediately.
LSA as Your Lead Foundation
Google Local Service Ads are the most cost-effective PPC channel for roofers. LSAs appear at the very top of Google (above regular ads), show a "Google Guaranteed" badge that builds trust, and charge per lead instead of per click. That means no wasted spend on people who click but don't call. For roofing companies, LSA leads typically cost $30–60 compared to $50–$100+ for regular Google Ads clicks. We handle the entire LSA process: verification, optimization, dispute management, and review strategy.
Competitor Conquesting
If a homeowner searches for your competitor's name, your ad should show up. Competitor conquesting campaigns target searches like "[Competitor Name] roofing reviews" and "[Competitor Name] complaints" with ads that position you as the better alternative. These campaigns typically have high click-through rates because the searcher is already considering hiring a roofer — they just haven't decided which one. We write ad copy that highlights your differentiators without being negative.
Seasonal Bid Management
Roofing PPC costs fluctuate dramatically by season. Summer CPCs can be 2–3x higher than winter. Storm events spike costs overnight. We manage bids dynamically: increasing budget when conversion rates are high (spring, post-storm), reducing waste during slow periods, and adjusting daypart bidding so you're spending the most when homeowners are most likely to convert. This seasonal strategy can reduce your cost per lead by 20–40% compared to running the same budget year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should a roofing company spend on Google Ads?
We recommend a minimum of $2,000–$3,000/month in ad spend for roofing Google Ads, plus our management fee. Most of our roofing clients invest $5,000–$15,000/month in ad spend during peak season and reduce to $2,000–$5,000 during slow months. The right budget depends on your market size and growth goals.
What's a good cost per lead for roofing PPC?
Target $25–$75 per lead for residential roofing and $50–$150 for commercial. LSA leads are typically on the lower end ($30–60). Storm damage leads tend to be cheaper during actual storms but more expensive when competing against every roofer bidding on the same terms. We benchmark against your market and work to beat the averages.
Google Ads vs Google LSA for roofers — which is better?
Both. LSAs are the best ROI (lower cost, higher trust with the Google Guaranteed badge) but have limited volume — you can't always get enough leads from LSA alone. Google Ads fills the gap with higher volume and more keyword control. We typically run both: LSA as the foundation, Google Ads for additional volume and specific campaigns (storm damage, competitor conquesting).
Can you run storm damage PPC campaigns?
Yes — storm damage campaigns are one of our specialties. We pre-build campaigns targeting hail damage, wind damage, emergency tarping, and insurance claim assistance. When severe weather hits your area, we activate everything within hours. These campaigns capture the surge in searches while competitors are still figuring out their login to Google Ads.
What about Facebook Ads for roofers?
Facebook Ads work best for roofers as a retargeting and neighborhood targeting tool. Retargeting shows ads to people who visited your site but didn't call. Neighborhood targeting reaches homeowners near your recent projects. We don't recommend Facebook as a primary lead channel for roofers — Google intent is much stronger — but it's a powerful supporting channel.
How quickly will I see roofing leads from PPC?
Leads can start within 24–48 hours of campaign launch. The first 2–4 weeks are an optimization period where we refine targeting, test ad copy, and add negative keywords. By month 2, campaigns are typically producing consistent, predictable lead flow. PPC is the fastest lead channel for roofing companies, bar none.
