Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from roofers in Hastings every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Invisible on Google Maps
The top three roofers on Maps get nearly all the calls. If your listing isn't optimised, you're not in the running.
Storm damage calls going to national firms
After bad weather, everyone needs a roofer. National firms dominate online because they invest in it. A strong local presence means those emergency calls come to you instead.
Great craftsmanship with barely any online proof
You've replaced hundreds of roofs, but without reviews and photos online, homeowners can't tell you apart from a cowboy outfit.
Fewer reviews than the cowboys
Dodgy roofers with bought reviews outrank honest ones. Building your genuine review count is the best way to fight back.
