contractor sites graded, one A
Across the whole CRO Index, a single site earned an A. The median landed at a D. The grade gap is a conversion gap.
You already get traffic in Minneapolis. Most of it leaves without calling. We find the leaks and plug them, so the visitors you've got start booking jobs.
Starts with a Site Inspection, so you see the leaks before any fix begins.

Digital State of the Roofing Industry 2026A grade out of 380 contractor sites
We graded 380 of them against one framework. Exactly one earned an A: Crown Industrial Roofing in Toronto, at 90 out of 100. The rest left money on the table. Here is what separates the top from the bottom.
The local detail
Every angle below comes from how Minneapolis actually searches, buys, and regulates — built into the page, not bolted on.
So here’s the thing nobody tells you when you boot up Google Ads.
So a good conversion page in this market is boring in the best way.
So this is your number-one leak point, and it’s the easiest one to plug.
So here’s where most shops leave the most money.
So the form gets submitted.
So let’s do the napkin math, because this is where it gets obvious.
So you're running ads in Minneapolis, and the clicks are landing on your homepage. And that's the leak. A roofing landing page minneapolis homeowners convert on does one job. So it takes a paid click and books an estimate before the person backs out. But your homepage can't do that. So it's got a menu, an about section, a careers link, six service tiles, and a phone number buried in the header. And you paid four dollars for that click in Edina. So you sent it to a page with nineteen exits. But run the math on a month of that and it stings.

So here's the thing nobody tells you when you boot up Google Ads. And the homepage was built to introduce your whole company. But the ad click was made by someone with one problem and a thirty-second attention span. So those two things are not the same job.
And the gap shows up in your cost per lead. So when a homeowner in Linden Hills clicks an ad for storm damage and lands on a page asking them to "explore our services," they bounce. But not because your company's bad. So it's because the page asked them to do homework when they wanted a phone call.
"97% of roofing customers expect a callback within one week. More than 50% expect a callback within two days." — Roofing Contractor Magazine (2024)
So if half your prospects want a callback inside forty-eight hours, every extra click between the ad and the form is a place they leave. And you should count the exits on your homepage. But most shops are sending ad traffic into a maze with eighteen doors. So a dedicated roofing landing page for Minneapolis ad traffic has exactly one.
So open your phone. And click your own ad. But what do you see before you scroll?
So if the answer isn't a headline that matches the ad, a call button you can't miss, and a line of proof sitting right beside the ask, you've got work to do. And everything that matters has to live above the fold. So the headline echoes the worry the homeowner typed into Google. But the call button stays pinned so it never hides when they scroll. And the proof, a review count or a years-in-business number, sits next to the button so trust and action share the same eyeline.

So a good conversion page in this market is boring in the best way. And it says what the ad said. So it shows you can be trusted. And it makes the ask easy. But that's the whole game in this city, where a single hailstorm in Saint Anthony can flood every roofer's phone for a week.
"In hail-prone states, average roof lifespan is 15 years vs 22 years in milder western states; 38% of U.S. homes have roofs in moderate to poor condition (Roofing Contractor) with 60% higher loss costs" — Verisk Analytics (2025)
So Minnesota roofs age fast under that loss pressure. And when the storm hits Northeast and the claims start, the homeowner who lands on your page is anxious and ready. So don't make them think. But match the ad, show the proof, make the call obvious.
So if your ad says "Hail Damage? Free Roof Inspection," the headline can't say "Welcome To Premier Exteriors." And it has to repeat the hail and the inspection. But message match is the cheapest conversion lift there is, and almost nobody in this trade does it. So write the headline to mirror the exact words the homeowner clicked.
So a homeowner in Powderhorn shouldn't have to hunt for how to reach you. And the call button rides along as they scroll, thumb-sized, one tap to dial. And it says what happens next, "Call for your free inspection," not a limp "Submit." But you want zero seconds between the urge to act and the ability to act.
So nobody clicks "Reviews" to go verify you. And the proof has to be right there, in the same glance as the button. But forty-two five-star reviews beats a vague promise. And locally owned since 2009 beats a stock photo of a roof in Arizona.

So this is your number-one leak point, and it's the easiest one to plug. And every field you add is a reason to quit. So the contractor who asks for name, phone, address, and "what's wrong" gets the lead. But the one who asks for email, contact time, roof age, square footage, and "how did you hear about us" gets a blank screen.
"From 2021–2023, homeowners spent $93.5B on roofing across 8.3 million projects (AHS-based estimates)." — U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (2024)
So there's a massive pool of dollars moving every year, and your form is the toll booth deciding how much of it stops at your shop. And four fields is the answer. So name, phone, address, what's wrong. But you get the square footage on the call. And you get the roof age when your guy's standing in the driveway in Nokomis. So asking for it upfront just hands the lead to the next roofer.
So that's it. And those four tell you everything you need to dispatch. But the address tells you it's a real property here and not a tire-kicker in another state. And "what's wrong" lets them vent the worry, which is half of why they fill it out. So drop every other field. And you can always ask more once you're talking.
So don't bury that form below three paragraphs of company history either. And put it in the first screen, beside the call button, so the homeowner has two ways to reach you and zero excuses. But one taps to call. And one fills four boxes. So both win.

So here's where most shops leave the most money. And they send storm traffic, replacement traffic, and energy-efficiency traffic to the same generic sheet. But each one is a different person with a different worry, and a single sheet can't speak to all three.
"Among renovating homeowners, 44% add or redo a roof as part of their exterior projects." — Houzz Inc. (2024)
So nearly half of exterior projects touch the roof, and those buyers split into clear lanes. And the storm victim wants speed and an insurance-savvy crew. But the planned-replacement buyer wants options and a fair price. And the energy-conscious homeowner wants to know what a better roof saves them on heating through a brutal January. So build a sheet for each.
So this one leads with speed and the insurance angle. And it reads "Storm damage in Como? We document for your claim and tarp today." But the homeowner who just watched shingles peel off in a windstorm isn't comparing materials. So they want someone on the roof before the next rain.
"Among homeowners undertaking a roofing project, 63% choose asphalt roofing material (dimensional shingles 34%, three-tab shingles 19%, luxury shingles 10%), while 14% choose metal and 11% choose synthetic material or rubber." — Houzz Inc. (2024)
So most of your replacement buyers want asphalt, but a real chunk want metal or synthetic. And the replacement sheet should show the good-better-best ladder plainly, with a number beside each. But a homeowner in Kenwood deciding on a $14,000 reroof wants to see where their money goes before they call.
So this buyer cares about the heating bill. And the sheet talks attic ventilation, reflective shingles, and what a tight roof does across a long winter. But it's a different worry, a different headline, different proof.
So the form gets submitted. And now what? But in most shops, that lead sits in an inbox until someone checks email after lunch. And by then the homeowner in Whittier has filled out three more forms and booked the roofer who called back in ninety seconds.
"In 2024, 22% of renovating homeowners undertook roofing upgrades, with a median spend of $13,000." — Houzz Inc. (2025)
So a typical job here runs around thirteen grand, and you just let one walk because nobody called for four hours. And the fix is mechanical. So the second a form submits, it texts the homeowner "Got it, calling you in 5," and it rings your phone. But there's no app to check. And there's no inbox to remember.
So that instant auto-text buys you time and signals you're real. And the homeowner relaxes. But they stop filling out competitor forms. So your human call lands while they still remember submitting.
"The median spend on roofing upgrades in 2024 was 8% higher than in 2023 (median $13,000 in 2024)." — Houzz Inc. (2025)
And those job values keep climbing, up eight percent year over year, so each lead you let cool costs more than it did last season. So treat speed-to-lead like payroll. And every minute you shave off the callback is a booked estimate you keep instead of fund for your competitor.
So let's do the napkin math, because this is where it gets obvious. And say you spend $3,000 a month on ads and your homepage converts at 2%. So that's a handful of leads. But now send the same clicks to a dedicated sheet that converts at 4%. And the spend's the same. So the leads double.
"Among homeowners who renovated in 2024, 84% used cash from savings and 29% used a credit card to fund renovation projects (multiple funding sources allowed)." — Houzz Inc. (2025)
So most of your buyers pay from savings, which means they're serious and they close. And if a doubled conversion rate turns six leads into twelve, and you book even three of those extra six at $13,000 each, that's $39,000 in new work off the exact same ad budget you were already spending. But the spend didn't move. So the sheet did.
So that's the whole pitch. And you're already paying for the clicks in Highland Park and Seward. But the only question is whether they hit a sheet built to book them or a homepage built to introduce you.
So we don't start by selling you anything. And we start by looking. So we ran an inspection of roofing websites across the trade, counting form fields, timing call buttons, checking whether the ad even matched the sheet it pointed at. But most failed the one-screen test in the first three seconds.
So here's the offer. And it's a free Site Inspection of your current setup. So we pull up your ad, click it like a homeowner would, and show you exactly where the leak is, field by field, button by button. But there's no sales call. And there's no deck. So it's just the same teardown we'd run on your biggest competitor here, pointed at your own funnel, so you can see for yourself where the bookings are going and why.
