Most roofing websites are built to look good on launch day and forgotten after. These 25 specific fixes will improve your Google rankings and turn more visitors into estimate requests.

• No duplicate title tags or meta descriptions across pages
• Check Google Search Console for missing or duplicate meta tags

Service Pages (6–10)

• Separate URL for each major service: /roof-repair, /roof-replacement, /storm-damage, /gutters
• Each service page: 500+ words of unique content targeting that service's keywords
• Include city name in service page content — "[City] roof repair", not just "roof repair"
• FAQ section on each service page targeting question-format searches
• Contact form on every service page, not just the contact page

Local SEO Elements (11–18)
