Ad Shot List

The shots that make roofing ads work. The more we have to test with, the faster we find a winner.

Check your camera roll — most of these are probably in there. Then a couple more off each job you finish and we're set.

Photos beat video here. They're quicker for you to grab, easier for us to test, and they perform just as well — often better. The ones that work hardest have people in them: you, your crew, the homeowner in front of a finished roof.

You don't have to figure out which ad works. We make a lot of ads from your photos and run them against each other. Most flop — that's normal. We shut those off fast and put the money behind the ones that work.

Two ads can use the same photo and get completely different results. It's only one part out of several that make an ad work.

Ads wear out quickly, so we're always building new ones. That's why we keep testing — not you. You keep finishing roofs.

Why we get results fast: the ads run on your ad account, but the pixel we plug in is ours. It's built off every roof replacement appointment we've booked, so it already knows who's about to buy. Without it you're running on limited data, and that means a lot more trial and error and a higher cost for every job you book. You skip all of that, so more of your budget goes to ads that work.

You, your customer, your crew

A face beats a logo. These are the ones people stop for.
