Win more Houston roofing calls from Google Maps

What the map looks like

Houston homeowners search for a roofer about 2,900 times a month, tied with Austin for the most in this report.

The middle roofer in the top 40 on Google Maps has about 240 reviews. Only 5% have fewer than 50. Ratings average 4.91.

Every one of the 40 links a website, and every one is claimed (the owner has taken charge of the listing on Google). Setup is not where Houston roofers differ.

Your 3 steps for today

1. Set a review number for each crew

   Getting to 240 takes a steady pace. Give each crew a monthly review target and send the link before the crew leaves, the day the job closes.

2. Post photos from this week's jobs

   When every listing looks complete, fresh before and after shots of real Houston roofs are what a homeowner notices.

3. Answer every call, even after hours

   Houston has 2,900 roofing searches a month. Make sure every call gets picked up, nights and weekends too.
