Roofing Company Marketing Manager · $18K/mo Google Ads

You Manage $18K/Month in Google Ads, Plus the Website, Social Media, and Reviews. And 40% of Your Leads Are Tire Kickers Wanting Free Inspections.

You're the only marketer at a $7.2M roofing company with 3 locations. You manage $26K/mo in total marketing spend — self-taught from YouTube and courses. PMax generates volume but 50% of leads are unqualified. Storm season requires spinning campaigns up and down overnight. June is 3x January. You need systems, not more tasks.

The problem

Sound familiar?

40% of leads are tire kickers requesting free inspections who never convert

Your campaigns generate 200-250 leads/month across all sources, but 40% are homeowners wanting a free roof inspection with no intention of buying. You can't tell Google which leads are real because there's no quality feedback loop.

PMax generates volume but 50%+ are unqualified

Performance Max is great for lead count but terrible for lead quality. Half the leads are homeowners wanting a $200 patch job, not a $15K replacement. You can't segment intent in PMax the way you can with Search.

Storm season means spinning campaigns up overnight — then back down

When hail hits, you need storm damage campaigns live within hours. Then you scale them down 2 weeks later. Your 3 locations mean 9+ campaigns to manage, each with different geo targeting and seasonal patterns.

You're the only marketer and you manage everything

Google Ads, LSA, Facebook, the website, social media, and review management. You're self-taught from YouTube and courses. A bad lead month triggers a meeting with the owner, and you're the one in the hot seat.

From the community

Real voices, real frustration

Managing $18K/month in Google Ads for a roofing company while also doing everything else is burning me out.

PMax for roofing generates a lot of leads but half are homeowners wanting a $200 repair, not a $15K replacement.

You're managing $26K/mo in marketing spend self-taught from YouTube — and the owner trusts you with it. You don't need more tutorials. You need a system that turns your existing knowledge into repeatable processes.
