Roofing companies usually set the Google profile as a service-area business with the roofing contractor category. Add services like roof repair, replacement and inspection, post project photos, and collect reviews that mention responsiveness. Website pages for each service and main area support the profile.

Profile tips
Post project photos with the neighborhood (not exact address), keep a service area, reply to reviews and avoid listing storm services you cannot handle at volume.
Photos and posts
Upload completed roofs, crews working safely, protected landscaping and before-and-after shots. Post seasonal reminders about inspections and storm checks. Reply to every review, thanking customers by name and mentioning the project type when they did.
Set a service area for the towns you actually serve; a smaller, accurate area helps nearby homeowners find you.
Mistakes
- Claiming manufacturer certifications you do not hold
- Stock photos
- No replies to reviews
