Storm mornings start on the map
Hail comes through at 2am. By 7am the whole block is searching roof damage inspection, and they tap the listing that looks real: roofing category, recent photos, hours that say someone is working today.

Google Business Profile, run for roofing companies
Your map listing is the first thing a homeowner checks the morning after hail. We set it up properly and keep it moving with the weather.

What does this include?
Vevang Sites sets up and manages your Google Business Profile: roofing categories, service list, the towns you actually crew, honest storm hours, real job photos, posts and Q&A. We connect it to matching pages on your site and track the calls it brings. SEO Ranker keeps it current every week.
Why it matters
Why it’s different for your trade.
A replacement buyer reads it twice
Nobody signs off on a new roof from one tap. They open the listing, scroll the photos, read reviews about crews and cleanup, then check your site. The profile and the site have to agree.
AI answers lean on the same details
Assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini summarize local companies from public facts. We keep your categories, service area, services and site pages consistent so those facts are clear. No one can promise a mention, but confusion costs you.
What we do
The work, step by step.
Claim it and pass verification
Expect a video walkthrough. Have your wrapped truck, ladders, nail guns, signage and a recent invoice ready to film in one take. Roofing gets checked closely because storm-chasers abuse it, so verify from your real yard or office.
Set categories and services like a roofer
Primary category roofing contractor, not general contractor. Then fill the services list with what you sell: roof replacement, roof repair, hail and wind damage inspection, emergency tarping, metal roofing, flat roofing, gutters. Short plain description on each.
Draw a service area you can crew
List the towns you will actually dispatch to, not three counties of hail path. Keep hours honest. If you answer leak calls at night, say so and staff it. If not, publish daytime hours.
Load real roofs, not stock shingles
Upload photos as jobs finish: tear-off, exposed decking, underlayment, finished ridge, a drone shot of the whole slope. Add crew and truck photos so the homeowner recognizes who pulls into the driveway.
Post with the weather, answer your own Q&A
After severe weather, post about inspections and tarping and link to your storm page. In fall, post replacement and financing. Add Q&A on adjusters, warranties and how many days a tear-off takes.
Wire it to the site and count the calls
Same phone number on both. Links point to the matching page, not the homepage. Inspection form works with one thumb. We track calls and forms, and SEO Ranker revisits the profile weekly.
Common mistakes
What usually goes wrong.
A borrowed address in the storm town
Renting a mailbox or using a relative's driveway in the county that got hit is the fastest way to lose the profile. Run a service-area profile from your real yard and cover those towns with site pages instead.
A primary category set too broad
Calling yourself a general contractor or home improvement service to catch more work usually costs you roofing searches. Pick roofing contractor first, then add secondary categories only for work you truly sell, like gutters or siding.
Open 24 hours, voicemail on the line
Storm calls land at 6am and 9pm. A homeowner who hits voicemail calls the next roofer and tells the neighbors. Either cover the hours you publish or publish the hours you keep.
A listing that goes quiet between storms
Photos from two years ago and no posts since last spring make you look like a company that folded. Fresh finished roofs and short seasonal posts keep you credible when the next hailstorm sends everyone to the map.

Questions
Straight answers.
Can I show up in towns where I have no office?
Within reason. A service-area profile hides your address and lists the towns you cover, but the map still favors businesses near the searcher. Set a realistic area around your yard, then build a page on your site for each town you want work in, with photos of roofs you actually finished there.
What does video verification involve for a roofer?
Usually a live walkthrough: business signage, the yard or office, tools and materials, your truck with lettering, and paperwork showing the business name and address. Film it in one continuous take where you have signal. Stage everything before you start so you are not re-shooting between jobs.
Should my hours say open 24 hours?
Only if a person answers. Emergency tarping is a real reason to publish extended hours, and it wins leak calls during a rain event. But an unanswered phone in a storm week costs more than the listing gains. Turn on messaging only if someone replies fast at night.
Can each crew or truck have its own profile?
No. One profile per real staffed location. Extra listings for trucks, crews or storm territories get removed, and they can drag down the listing you depend on. If you open a second branch with an office and staff, that earns its own profile, hours and photos.
How do reviews connect to the profile?
Reviews sit right beside your photos and get read before anyone calls. Ask every homeowner at the final walkthrough, when the driveway is swept and the roof looks new. Reply to all of them yourself, including the ones about a delayed start date or the dumpster in the yard.
Do posts matter after a hailstorm?
They keep the listing current and give storm searchers something to read that same morning. Post the date, the neighborhoods you are inspecting, whether tarping is available, and a link to your storm damage page. Photos of the hail and the affected slopes work better than any slogan.
How should I word insurance help on the profile?
Carefully. Many states restrict who can negotiate a claim, so describe what you actually do: document storm damage, supply photos and measurements, and meet the adjuster on site. Keep that wording identical on the profile, your services list and your insurance claim page, and check your state rules first.
Will this put me in the top three on the map?
No one can guarantee map rankings, and any roofer who promises that is selling something else. What we control is the work: correct categories, an honest service area, fresh job photos, seasonal posts, matching site pages and steady review activity. We adjust weekly and show you which calls arrive.
