Google (combining organic SEO and Google Ads) is the most important channel for roofing contractors because it captures homeowners with immediate purchase intent. Google Business Profile specifically is the single highest-ROI starting point for most roofing companies. Following Google, Meta Ads for remarketing and local awareness is the second highest priority.
The recommended benchmark is 5-10% of annual gross revenue invested in marketing. For a $1M revenue roofing company, that's $50,000-$100,000/year. Split this as: 35-40% Google Ads, 30-35% SEO, 15-20% website and content, 10-15% social media and reputation management.
Social media (primarily Facebook and Instagram) generates roofing leads best through remarketing to website visitors and lookalike audiences, not through organic posts alone. Organic social builds brand awareness but rarely generates direct leads for roofing. Paid social remarketing can generate leads at $80-$200 cost per lead more than SEO but less than many traditional methods.
