How does VibeAds run roofing Google Ads for you?
- Builds the campaign. Ad groups for roofing services, keywords with Google search volume, responsive search ads, negative keywords and geo targeting for your service area.
- Builds the landing pages. One page for every ad group when you publish, hosted free.
- Publishes to your own Google Ads account. You keep the account and the data.
- Checks it twice a day. An agent reviews wasted search terms, bids, ad strength and landing pages, and proposes fixes you approve.
- Tracks calls. Calls are recorded, transcribed and scored, and qualified calls go back to Google Ads (the tracking number starts with your first payment).
You pay Google for clicks separately. The $20 a month is the software.
Roofing: repair, replacement and storm work
Roofing bids were among the highest in our pull, with a median top bid of $37.44 across 44 metros. Roof companies ran $19.30 to $81.53 and roof repair near me $23.57 to $85.55. Metal roofers (14,290 searches a month) bid only $4.18 to $15.74, and tile and shingle roofer searches were lower still, which points to material research rather than hiring.
VibeAds ranks roof leak repair, storm damage repair and emergency tarping as urgent, and full replacement plus shingle and metal installs as high-value. Keeping them apart matters: a leak call books an inspection this week, while a replacement can wait on quotes and an insurance adjuster.
Gutter searches bid as high as roofing (guttering installation near me ran $26.53 to $141.21 in two metros), so gutter work earns its own ad group if you do it. Demand runs at 1.3x in April and May and 0.7x from December to February.
