Drawing on industry insights and the latest statistics, this guide by Goliath Ads offers a deep dive into advanced marketing strategies designed to elevate your roofing business above the competition.
Understanding the Modern Roofing Market
The U.S. roofing market is projected to reach $19.9 billion by 2024, with a CAGR of 4.9% from 2016 to 2021 (MarketsandMarkets, 2023). This growth is driven by increasing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable roofing systems.

Tailoring Your Approach
With 85% of consumers trusting online reviews as much as personal recommendations (BrightLocal, 2017), it’s clear that digital presence and reputation are key. Tailor your marketing messages to highlight your commitment to sustainability, quality, and customer satisfaction to meet your audience’s needs.
Digital Dominance: Winning Strategies for Roofers
Optimized Website and SEO
47% of consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less (Kissmetrics). Ensure your website is optimized for speed, mobile responsiveness, and SEO. Incorporate local SEO strategies to target the 72% of consumers who perform local searches before visiting a store within five miles (WordStream, 2016).
Content Marketing: Educate and Engage
Blogs are rated as the 5th most trusted source for accurate online information (HubSpot, 2020). Create valuable, educational content that addresses common roofing questions and showcases your expertise.
Social Media: Build Your Brand
With over 3.6 billion people using social media worldwide (Statista, 2020), platforms like Facebook and Instagram offer unparalleled opportunities to connect with potential customers. Share success stories and customer testimonials to build trust and engagement.
Beyond Digital: Traditional Marketing with a Twist
Community Engagement
Community engagement drives brand visibility and trust. Sponsor local events or offer free roofing inspections to engage with your community and build a positive reputation.
Direct Mail with a Digital Edge
Direct mail campaigns have a response rate of up to 5.3% when combined with digital efforts (DMA, 2017). Use QR codes to bridge the gap between traditional and digital marketing, offering easy access to your website or special promotions.
