I'm a roofer · Picking the right category

Your business category, for roofers

Pick "contractor" when you're a roofer and you vanish from the search that matters.

In the works

We haven't finished writing the rubric for this one, so it won't appear in your comparison yet. It's here so you know what's coming — and the advice below still holds if you want to get ahead of it.

#02 · ROOFERS

Why it matters here

Google decides which searches you show up in largely from your category. A near-miss category quietly keeps you out of the results your competitors are winning.

Nobody shops for a roofer casually. It's usually a leak, a storm, or an insurance adjuster — and the customer is calling three numbers in a row. What they find in those two minutes decides who gets the job.

Somebody answering the phone the day of the storm

This one is compared on the same rubric for every trade. We haven't written roofers-specific benchmarks for it yet.
