What This Is Costing You

Every Month You're Invisible in AI
Is a Month of Lost Jobs

  • 🔎
    AI searchers are high-intent homeowners — they're researching before they call. Not tire-kickers. Not price shoppers. People with a roof that needs fixing now.
  • 💸
    San Antonio averages 15+ hail events per year. After every storm, thousands of homeowners ask AI "best roofer near me." If you're not in those answers, your competitors are getting those calls.
  • 📍
    You offer metal roofing — a high-ticket, high-margin service. AI searchers looking for metal roof installation are premium buyers. Right now they're finding Seidel and Lon Smith, not you.
  • ⏰
    10+ years of experience and a 5-year workmanship warranty — but AI doesn't know any of that. Your reputation exists offline. It needs to exist where AI looks.

Known by your name. Unknown for what you do.

💡 The upside: You have 10+ years of experience, a 5-year workmanship warranty, and you already do metal roofing — a premium differentiator. The foundation is strong. The signals AI needs just aren't in place yet — and that's fixable fast.

"We already deliver local SEO and AI ranking strategy for a Texas roofing company — same industry, same challenges, same playbook."

What we do — same system we're proposing for you

  • Entity signal building across HomeAdvisor, Angi, BBB, Buildzoom
  • Roofer + LocalBusiness schema on every service page
  • Location pages targeting high-value service areas
  • AI-trusted citation building on contractor directories
  • GMB optimisation + ongoing monthly work

Why this matters: We already understand roofing — the seasonality, the storm-chasing problem, the insurance angle, and how AI handles contractor queries. You don't have to educate us.

⚡ Nick's advantage: San Antonio is a bigger market than Sherman with more search volume — meaning more AI queries, more opportunity, and faster ROI on the same playbook.

Why this matters for a roofer

Moving is one of the most competitive local markets in the US. If we can get 130% revenue growth there, roofing — with lower online competition for AI visibility — is faster to win.

Let's Address the Obvious Questions

Things You're Probably Thinking

🤔
"I get most of my work from referrals. Why do I need this?"
Referrals are great — but they don't scale. When a homeowner asks ChatGPT "best roofer in San Antonio" after a hailstorm, they're not asking their neighbour. They're asking AI. If you're not in that answer, someone else is getting that call.
💰
"How is this different from the SEO I've tried before?"
Traditional SEO targets Google's blue links. AI ranking targets ChatGPT and Perplexity citations — completely different system. The roofers winning in AI aren't the ones who won at old SEO. It's whoever builds entity trust first.
⏱️
"How long before I see results?"
Foundation work (schema, directories, NAP) shows up in AI within 30–60 days. Full visibility build-out: 3–4 months. Our moving company client saw revenue double by month 8. Roofing has less online competition — expect faster traction.
🏗️
"Why not just run Google Ads?"
Ads stop when you stop paying. AI citations compound — the longer you're cited, the harder you are to displace. Plus, a $50 CPC for "roofer San Antonio" on Google Ads costs you $600/mo for 12 clicks. AI visibility costs less and builds equity.
