Roofing · Tampa, FL

The challenge

8-year-old roofing company in Tampa, FL competing against 'storm chaser' out-of-state contractors that flooded the market after every weather event. Profile was technically complete but invisible for primary 'storm damage roofer Tampa' searches. Owner was burning $4,200/month on Google Ads to make up for the organic gap.

What we found

  • Generic services list: Just 'Roofing' as a single service. Competitors listed 12-18 specific services
  • Citation gaps: Listed on only 12 of 30 expected directories for roofers
  • No before/after photos: Critical for roofing buyer journey; profile had only stock-quality stills
  • Insurance claim language missing: Most storm-damage searches include insurance terms; description had none
  • SAB misconfiguration: Showed address (a residential one) instead of operating as service-area business
