    After every storm, roofing searches spike 500% — and storm chasers are outranking you

    When hail hits, homeowners immediately search for a local roofer. But storm chasers and national chains have SEO teams that activate the moment weather alerts go out. If your local roofing company isn't already ranking, those out-of-town companies grab the leads, do mediocre work, and leave you competing for scraps in your own market.

    "After the April hailstorm, we got 47 calls in one week — all organic. Before Arclo, those calls were going to storm chasers from out of state."

    Common questions from roofing businesses

    Storm chasers spend a fortune on ads. Can SEO really compete?

    Storm chasers rely on ads because they have no local presence. SEO is your advantage — Google's local algorithm favors businesses with a real address, local reviews, and years of local content. Arclo makes sure that advantage shows up in rankings.

    Roofing is project-based. I don't need a steady stream of leads year-round.

    Off-season is when you build the rankings that pay off during storm season. Roof inspections, maintenance tips, and insurance claim guides generate leads year-round — and keep your rankings strong for when surge demand hits.

    My website is fine. I just need more reviews.

    Reviews help, but they work best when your website is also optimized. A roofer with great reviews but no service area pages, no schema markup, and slow load times will still lose to a competitor whose site checks all the boxes. Arclo handles everything together.
