Why Are Marketing Costs Suddenly Rising?
As many roofers have surely noticed over the past few weeks, advertising costs are starting to rise collectively across many different platforms.
This trend has been noticed most years, specifically in the fourth quarter, due mainly to increased marketing competition.
With the end of the year drawing near, businesses of all kinds are making their last efforts to get their advertising in front of more customers, boost their sales in the final few months, and improve their yearly numbers.
This creates a more competitive marketing environment where roofers, like all other business owners, end up paying more for the same number of clicks and impressions.
In this case, the goal is always to expect this 4th quarter cost increase and prepare for it by improving marketing strategies leading up to this period to maintain a high ROI.
Is The Election Affecting People’s Buying Habits?
In addition to the expected 4th quarter increases in advertising costs, many service-oriented businesses, including roofing companies, are experiencing slowing sales as the presidential election approaches.
The uncertainty of economic conditions has many homeowners delaying major purchases like new roofs and roofing services in general as they wait to analyze their financial situations in the coming weeks and into the new year.
Lead nurturing during this period is critical.
Roofers who stay in front of potential customers and remain top of mind through active and continuous lead nurturing stand the best chance of making the sale once those homeowners are ready to commit, whether in the next few weeks or even at the beginning of the new year.

If you run a roofing business, your phone should be ringing off the hook right now. But instead, you might be watching calls dry up while a competitor three blocks away keeps booking jobs.

Choosing between Google Ads and Local Service Ads or LSAs can feel like picking between two equally promising paths in your digital marketing strategy. Both platforms drive lead generation, but they operate on fundamentally different models.
