Storm season in Houston doesn't announce itself with much warning. When the calls start coming, the roofers who are already visible in Google Maps get the lion's share. Those who aren't visible scramble – often turning to expensive paid advertising at exactly the moment when costs spike.
This Houston roofing company wanted to break that cycle. They came to us several months before storm season with a clear goal: be the first roofer people find when they search for storm damage help, without depending entirely on paid ads to get there.
We built their local Google Maps presence specifically around storm-related and emergency roofing intent in the Houston metro. By the time the season arrived, they had established visibility that their competitors hadn't built – and couldn't build quickly once demand hit.
The results during that storm season were the best in the company's history. Call volume was nearly 5× what it had been the year prior. Revenue from the season alone exceeded $340,000. And because the visibility was organic rather than paid, the margin on that revenue was significantly higher.
"Other years we'd spend heavily on ads during storm season and still miss half the calls. This year we spent a fraction and took more work than we could handle."
They've since kept that positioning and approach going into subsequent years – turning what used to be an inconsistent revenue spike into a predictable annual engine.
