Roofing Leads in the UK: Buy Them or Earn Them

Roofing is one of the most expensive trades to buy leads for, because a re-roof is worth thousands. Lead services sell the enquiry, often to several roofers at once. The alternative is earning enquiries only you receive, through your website, Google profile and SEO. This page shows how to compare both by cost per won job.

The problem

Roof repairs and re-roofs are high-value jobs, so leads are priced to match. The price is only part of the story. Shared leads mean a race. The same enquiry often goes to several roofers. The homeowner tends to pick whoever answers first or quotes lowest. You pay whether or not you win. At a 20% win rate, the real cost per job is five times the lead price. Urgent leaks and tyre-kickers look alike. A storm-damage call and a price-check arrive the same way. You often cannot tell until you have paid. Nothing is left behind. When you stop buying leads, the enquiries stop. A page that ranks keeps working.

What good looks like

The right answer depends on your numbers. Here is a fair way to work it out. Work out cost per won job. Total spent on a source in a period, divided by jobs actually won from it. Include the time you spend chasing enquiries. This is the only number that matters. Split repairs from re-roofs. Repairs are frequent and urgent, so being found on Google at the moment of need matters. Re-roofs are researched, so reviews and project photos matter more. Count what you keep. A lead is gone once used. A ranking page, a Google profile and a bank of reviews keep producing over a year. Be honest about speed. Paid leads are fast. SEO takes months and is not guaranteed. Many roofers keep a lead source while building their own, then reduce it.

FAQ

Do you sell roofing leads?

No. We build the website, Google profile and SEO that produce enquiries only you receive.

Are paid roofing leads always a bad deal?

No. If your cost per won job is acceptable against the job value, they can pay. The mistake is judging by cost per lead instead of cost per won job.

Can SEO replace roofing leads?

For some roofers it reduces them over time. It is slower and not guaranteed. We would rather show you numbers than promise a result.
