What's Done Well
Brand Foundations in Place
- Brand-level evidence surfaced no standout strengths beyond baseline framework alignment.
Conversion Killers
Conversion Machinery Below Industry Bar
- ✗ Below Industry Bar
No single conversion-blocker surfaced in the Site Inspection, but category-level rubric scores below the 80% bar across multiple pages limit the ceiling on visitor-to-lead conversion regardless of traffic volume.
Revenue Impact
Conversion Gap Calculation
Step 1 — Traffic Baseline (estimated): Better Roofing & Contracting draws an estimated 5,000–15,000 monthly organic visitors from search and direct traffic. Estimate from third-party tools; actual variance ±30–50%.
Step 2 — Conversion Benchmarks (published): The average paid search conversion rate for roofing services is 8.0–12.0% (LocaliQ 2025, 3,200+ campaigns). The average CPC is $8–$18. Average project value for this brand: $8,000–$25,000 (mid: $16,500) (trade-segment benchmark fallback (no brand-specific data)).
Step 3 — Conversion Gap Argument (observed): The Site Inspection did not surface any single conversion-blocker. Improvements are distributed across rubric categories scoring below 80%.
Step 4 — Financial Range:
Assumptions
| Variable | Value | Source / Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly organic visitors (estimated) | 5,000 – 15,000 | Third-party traffic estimates ±30–50% |
| Industry CVR for roofing services | 8.0% – 12.0% | LocaliQ 2025 (3,200+ campaigns) |
| Estimated current site CVR | 4.8% – 7.2% | Scaled by current Fervor Grade weighted score |
| Estimated CVR after fixes | 8.0% – 12.0% | Industry benchmark for category |
| Avg project value | $8,000 – $25,000 (mid: $16,500) | [BENCHMARK-FALLBACK] trade-segment estimate, confidence: low |
| Close rate (industry) | 30% – 40% | Standard residential-services close rate |
Step 5 — Paid Traffic Argument: At the industry CPC of $8–$18 for roofing services and a brand avg-project-value of $16,500, every paid click hits the site's current conversion infrastructure. Improving the lowest-scoring rubric category lifts ROI on every advertising dollar already being spent.
