Can I do SEO for my roofing business myself?
You run a roofing company. This page is for you. Short answer: you can start, but SEO takes more hours than you have.
A roofer told me he learned titles and headings in a Saturday. Then he saw the real job: a page for roof repair in every town, a page for shingle questions, new ones every month. He already had a full-time job running crews.
You can learn the basics fast. Write a good title, fix your headings, build a sitemap Google can read. That part is doable. For a roofing company, the trouble starts when you finish the easy stuff. Homeowners search for roof repair, emergency leaks, metal versus shingle, ice dam questions, and they search by town name. To show up for those searches, you need a page for each service in each area you serve. And you need to add new pages every month because your competitors are adding them right now.
The time it takes depends on how many services you offer and how many towns you cover. A roofer with three services and ten towns needs thirty pages just to start. Then a new article every month, like a page on how long a roof lasts in your climate or what hail damage looks like. That is writing, formatting, and keeping the site clean. It is not hard. It is just slow. The size of the job grows with your service area.
Do what you can control yourself: keep your Google Business Profile complete. Add real photos of your roof work. Answer reviews. That part you can handle in minutes a week. For the page building, call Forget Leads. We write your service pages, town pages, and question pages, and we add articles every month. You approve what goes live. You stay in charge without the second job.
Once it is running, your phone rings from your own website. No shared leads. No chasing. You check the new pages, say yes or no, and get back to your crews. The site does the work while you roof.
