Red Flags to Watch Out For

We Avoid: ‘We guarantee page 1 rankings in 30 days’ no legitimate SEO agency guarantees specific positions. Avoid: $99/month packages at this price, nothing meaningful is being done. Avoid: Agencies with no roofing-specific experience roofing SEO has unique dynamics that general agencies don’t understand.

When Should You Start?

The most common mistake is waiting until slow season expecting results by busy season. SEO takes 3–6 months to build momentum. If you want to dominate spring roofing season, start your campaign in the fall. The second mistake is waiting until the business is ‘bigger.’ SEO is precisely how businesses get bigger. Every month you wait, a competitor compounds their advantage.
