Assumptions
| Variable | Value | Source / Rationale |
|---|---|---|

| Industry CVR for roofing services | 8.0% – 12.0% | LocaliQ 2025 (3,200+ campaigns) |
| Estimated current site CVR | 6.2% – 9.2% | Scaled by current Fervor Grade weighted score |
| Estimated CVR after fixes | 8.0% – 12.0% | Industry benchmark for category |

| 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.
