Annual spend at this pace: $60,000. If your target CPL is outside the industry range, expect either auction inflation (you'll pay more per lead) or scale shortfall (you can't buy enough leads).

CPVD background is tier-based per delivery. Tunnels (1-mile road strips) and zones (1-square-mile areas) deliver hyper-local just-in-time messages and are priced higher. For roofing, the recommended mix usually includes one or both. Get a tier-specific quote for your route.

Frequently asked questions
How much should a roofing company spend on advertising?
Roofing CAC runs $250-$750 across channels (Roofing Salesman 2026; wider range than HVAC because roofing has more variable lead-source mix). At a $500 average CAC and a goal of 10 new jobs per month, that's $5,000/month in ad spend. Roofing close rates run 15-40%, well below most home-services, because roofing is a high-ticket considered purchase with lots of competing quotes.
Why is roofing CAC higher than HVAC?
Two reasons. First, the average ticket is much higher (roofing $8K-$25K vs HVAC $5K-$15K), so operators can profitably spend more to acquire each customer. Second, the consideration cycle is longer. Roofers compete on bids, contractors get 3-5 quotes, close rates drop, and CAC goes up to compensate. Storm-driven demand also inflates auction CPLs 2-5× when a named storm is in the Atlantic basin.
When are roofing leads most expensive?
Hurricane season (June-November) inflates Google Search and LSA CPLs 2-5× as out-of-state storm chasers flood Florida market and bid up keywords. Pre-storm in May plus the 14-90 day insurance-driven repair wave after a named storm are the cheapest acquisition windows because demand is high but auction inflation hasn't fully caught up.
What close rate should a roofing company target?
Industry-aggregate close rates: exclusive Google LSA roofing leads 30-40%, Google Search Ads 20-35%, shared marketplace leads (Angi/Thumbtack/HomeAdvisor) 8-15% because the same lead is sold to 3-5 competing roofers. The 25% default in this calculator is a healthy mid-range across mixed sources.
How does CPVD compare for roofing?
Roofing is a strong tunnel + zone fit. Hurricane corridors and storm-track zip codes have predictable post-storm demand spikes; CPVD lets you claim and own specific corridors and zones at fixed pricing rather than competing in storm-chaser-inflated auctions. From $0.25 (background, tier-based); tunnels and zones are priced for hyper-local precision. A typical roofer runs background for brand awareness, layered tunnels on commute corridors that pass damaged neighborhoods, and zones over older-roof clusters in Avondale, San Marco, Atlantic Beach.
Should I bid storm-chaser keywords or wait?
Bidding storm-chaser keywords ("emergency roof repair Jacksonville", "hurricane roof damage") during a named storm is auction warfare. Out-of-state contractors with deeper pockets often outbid local operators temporarily. Your edge is licensing. Florida Statute 489.127 makes unlicensed contracting a third-degree felony during a declared state of emergency, which thins the field. Mix bottom-funnel auction with corridor-level CPVD presence so your local-licensed message reaches the same drivers without paying auction premiums.
How much does it cost to start advertising on WilDi Maps?
The Starter tier opens with a $50 deposit, and that deposit becomes your ad budget. Background deliveries on Starter run $0.50 per verified delivery, so the first deposit buys 100 GPS-verified deliveries to real driver phones. There is no auction and no platform fee stacked on top.
Do I have to bid in an auction?
No. Every tier has a fixed, published rate per verified delivery. The price you see is the price you pay, whether it is game day or a Tuesday morning. Higher tiers carry lower per-delivery rates.
What is the difference between background, zone, and tunnel ads?
Background runs city-wide across every active driver in the metro. A zone is a neighborhood-sized area you hold exclusively: while it is yours, no competitor can run there. A tunnel is a one-mile stretch of road you can place anywhere, and it follows the road's contours, ideal for the approach to your shop or a route your customers already drive.
What are the WilDi Maps plan tiers?
Four public tiers: Starter ($50 minimum deposit, background only), Local ($250, up to 2 tunnels and 1 zone), Pro ($1,000, up to 8 tunnels and 5 zones), and Enterprise ($3,000, up to 25 tunnels and 15 zones). Per-delivery background rates step down by tier, from $0.50 on Starter to $0.25 on Enterprise. An Agency tier is available through sales.
