The challenge
COVID brought significant change for the client. For decades, they relied on local foot traffic from roofers, but with new competitors emerging nationwide, it became clear they needed a strong online presence—fast. They launched a brand website to compete, but with no traffic and an SEO strategy that would take time to deliver results, they needed an immediate solution to bridge the gap and drive sales quickly.
Unlike other major sectors, the roofing trade in terms of digital marketing is still fairly old school. Majority of sales are driven via word or mouth from fellow tradesman to tradesman. However, to remain competitive and reach an even larger market, PPC was the way to go. PPC is the fastest way to the market and our client recognised that this was the avenue that they wanted invest in.


The solution
So we identified early on that PPC was going to be the way to go, but the question was which platform to invest in. With roofing supplies related enquiries on the rise on Google (identified through our research) we determined that Google Ads was going to bring them the best return on their investment.
We recommended starting with a budget of £1000 per month and gradually scaling it. Each incremental budget increase had to be sustainable and backed by the results that came in. Additionally, we determined that Performance Max and Shopping campaigns were going to help hit their primary goal; increasing sales. We then set out the following steps.
