We have taken action

First of all, we researched the market for the opportunities to advertise roofing company’s business online. Our chosen platform – Google Ads for roofers. When we compared how much they are able to spend (Customer Acquisition Cost) with the price of clicks and possible conversion rates – we decided that it’s definitely worth trying to launch a dedicated Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign.

We started from a research of the market, so we quickly learned about the competition and keywords that people use when they are looking for roofing companies in the area. Sam, who is our Google certified specialist, researched a list of keywords and their prices for this particular campaign, so the next step was to choose services that we are going to advertise for the client.

Next, the dedicated landing page was created which matched the relevant search in order to maximize the Conversion Rate (CR) of all incoming visitors. There’s a golden rule of all marketing campaigns – NSAMCWADLP –  “Never Start A Marketing Campaign Without A Dedicated Landing Page!”. As we followed this rule we were able to do A/B split testing on our ads and landing pages in order to constantly improve the Conversion Rate of our campaign.

Key points when you are optimizing your Ads campaigns:

Landing page optimization – they want to connect with YOU (not a logo) and they want to see pictures, reviews and clear call to action

  • Always use a landing page without your main navigation. You want them to call you and no browse around your website
  • Display pictures of your work
  • Display 5 stars reviews (with profile pictures)
  • Display trust badges: for example your Angie’s list badge or BBB.org badge
  • People want to connect with people, not LOGOS. Put your picture up there (video works even better) and tell them you’ll take care of them

Google Ads optimization – use everything Google gives you

  • You want to take as much real estate on Google as you can. You want people to click on your Ad
  • Use Extensions: call extension, location extension (with location extension your ads will show up in Google maps section), sitelink extensions (add a link to a free estimate or inspection)
  • TEST, TEST, TEST – start with at least 3-5 different ads. You need to figure out what is working in your niche. What people respond best to. In this roofing example: adding 40 years warranty on every ad and on a landing page boosted our conversion by 15%. Getting your roof replaced it’s a big investment and people want to feel secure. Slapping that 40-year warranty was a huge difference. Every niche has it’s own trust signals. USE them across your advertising
