Why work with MAJ

What changes when MAJ runs your Cincinnati roofing marketing

Your problem

Looking like one more truck after the storm

After hail, unfamiliar crews canvass your streets, and a homeowner comparing profiles cannot tell a registered local roofer from a stranger. Calls pile up while your crew is on a ladder.

What we build

Local proof plus a fast first reply

We film your crews on city jobs, show your registration on a page for each kind of job, and set up text-back and booking so storm calls get a reply while you work.

  • City rules on your side

    Registration, the Permit Center and historic review go into your pages, so you sound like you already work here.

  • Neighborhood-level campaigns

    Ads and pages can name the neighborhoods people search by, from Oakley to Westwood.

  • One system, one team

    Ads, video, pages and follow-up come from one founder-led team, so nothing gets lost between vendors.

Where Cincinnati roofers lose jobs

  1. Calls pile up while the crew is on a ladder

    The day after a hail event the phone rings faster than one office can pick up, and each missed call dials the next roofer on the map.

  2. One campaign for every kind of job

    Claim work, retail replacements, leak repairs and gutters need different pages and offers. Lumped together, budget drifts to the cheapest clicks.

  3. Neighborhood names go unused

    People search by where they live: Hyde Park, Westwood, Mount Washington. One generic city page cannot speak to all of them.

Would a homeowner pick you over a storm crew?

That gap costs Cincinnati roofers the most after a storm. Our free audit shows how your profile, site and ads read to a homeowner comparing roofers.

Cincinnati rules that shape a roofing campaign

  • Registration is a trust signal you can show

    The City of Cincinnati requires home improvement contractors who repair, remodel, alter, improve or add to one, two or three family homes to register with the city. Roofing is not one of the trades Ohio's licensing board licenses, so put the registration on your landing page.

  • Historic districts add a review step

    Work on a locally designated landmark, or on property in a locally designated historic district, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Conservation Office, even when the work is exempt from a building permit. If the address is in a historic area such as Over-the-Rhine, check designation before you quote.

  • Permits run through one Permit Center

    Building permits are handled at the Permit Center, 805 Central Ave., Suite 500, which combines Buildings and Inspections with staff from other city departments. Telling a homeowner who pulls the permit removes one more worry.

  • A repair loan program lists roofs

    LISC Greater Cincinnati's Revive + Thrive offers City of Cincinnati homeowners repair loans of $5,000 to $25,000 at 2 percent interest, with roofs among the priority repairs. Check it is taking applications before you mention it.

  • Fifty-two neighborhoods, fifty-two searches

    Cincinnati is made up of 52 neighborhoods, Oakley and Mount Lookout among them. Ads and pages that name the neighborhood match how people search.

Questions owners ask

Does a roofer need to register with the City of Cincinnati?

Yes, if you repair, remodel, alter, improve or add to one, two or three family homes in the city, you register with Buildings and Inspections as a home improvement contractor. It is a city registration, not a state license, and applies only inside city limits.

Do roof jobs in Over-the-Rhine or other historic districts need extra approval?

They can. Work on a locally designated landmark or in a locally designated historic district needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Conservation Office, even with no building permit. Ask for the address on the first call.

Are Google Local Services Ads worth it for roofers?

They are worth testing for most roofers. Google lists Roofers as a US Local Services Ads category. Businesses that pass Google's screening carry a Google Verified badge, and providers without it can run pre-badge ads that show below badged providers. We judge LSA like any channel: cost per booked inspection, not cost per lead.

Should insurance claim roofs and retail replacements run as separate campaigns?

Yes. A homeowner with storm damage and an adjuster on the way needs a different page, offer and follow-up than one replacing an old roof on their own schedule. Repairs and gutters are a third and fourth funnel. Mixing them hides which one pays for itself.

What should a roofer track to know if marketing is working?

Booked inspections by source and the cost of each, with signed jobs connected wherever your sales records allow. Lead counts mislead, because a storm can flood the phone with calls that never become roofs. We tag every call and form with its source in the CRM and read the numbers monthly, so you can see where to put your budget next.
