Roofing ads
Roofing clicks are expensive because the job is expensive and a lot of shops bid the same storm. A free inspection that has been buying ads since last spring tells you more than a discount that launched on Monday. Read days running first, then the offer.
Separate storm repairs from full replacements before you copy a cost-per-lead number. The LocaliQ median is a blended search lead. An insurance-help lead and a $1,000-off replacement lead do not close the same, and they should not share a budget. If you buy shared marketplace leads, divide the sticker price by your real close rate before you call it cheap.
