Roofory vs. Google Local Services Ads
Google LSA puts your listing in front of homeowners who are searching right now. Roofory books inspections for you in a territory that's yours alone. Here's how they stack up.
LSA is great at catching homeowners already searching for a roofer, as long as you answer every call fast and win on reviews. Roofory doesn't depend on search demand or your phone: it fills your calendar with booked inspections in your own territory. Plenty of roofers run both.
| Google LSA | Roofory | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A call or message from a homeowner who found your listing | A booked, confirmed inspection appointment |
| Who books the appointment | You answer, qualify, and schedule it yourself | Our call center qualifies and books it, with a recording |
| How you pay | Per lead, at a price set by Google's auction in your area | $1,000+/mo subscription, $175 per inspection run, $175 per sold job |
| Competition | You rank against other roofers on reviews, responsiveness, and budget | One contractor per territory |
| Missed calls | An unanswered call can mean a lost lead | Nothing to answer. You get a time and an address |
| Bad leads | You can dispute leads Google agrees are invalid | No-shows and disqualified appointments are never billed |
| Volume | Rises and falls with search demand and your budget | Guaranteed weekly appointment minimum |

How Google Local Services Ads work for roofers
Local Services Ads show at the top of Google search results with your reviews and a verification badge. You pay when a homeowner contacts you through the ad rather than per click, and you set a budget. Where you rank depends on things like your review score, how quickly you respond, your location, and how much you're willing to pay in your area.
LSA works best for roofers with strong reviews and someone who answers every call. The challenges are the ones every pay-per-lead channel shares: volume swings with search demand and storms, a missed call is often a lost job, and every lead still needs qualifying and scheduling.
How Roofory is different
- We do the qualifying and booking. Our call center confirms the homeowner owns the home, the roof is 7+ years old, and decision-makers will be there, then books a time and sends you the recording.
- It doesn't wait for someone to search. We run ads with your face on them and call homeowners in your ZIPs, including after storms, so you're not limited to people already typing "roofer near me".
- Your territory is yours. One contractor per territory, so you're not bidding against other roofers for the same homeowner.
- Volume is guaranteed. Each tier has a weekly appointment minimum. Miss it and your next month's subscription is waived.
Using both
LSA and Roofory solve different problems. LSA catches demand that already exists. Roofory creates and books it in a territory you own. If you run both, track cost per sold roof on each so you know where to put your next dollar.

Questions
Do I need Google Local Services Ads if I join Roofory?
No, but many roofers keep both. LSA captures homeowners who are already searching; Roofory reaches homeowners in your territory with ads and outbound calling and books them for you. Compare your cost per sold roof on each.
Are LSA leads exclusive?
A lead from your LSA listing comes to you, but the homeowner is often looking at several listings and may call more than one roofer. Roofory appointments come from your territory only, and no other Roofory dealer gets them.
What does Roofory cost compared to LSA?
LSA pricing is per lead and set by an auction in your market. Roofory is Starter $1,000/mo, Grow $3,000/mo, Mastery $6,000/mo, plus $175 per inspection you run and $175 when the homeowner signs. The ROI calculator shows your cost per sold roof.
Is your territory still open?
One contractor per territory. Enter your ZIP to check yours.
