How To Get More Roofing & Construction Leads Using Cost Guides

Why would you bother writing a cost guide for your roofing and construction website?

You may ask the question as why anyone would bother with outlining a cost guide in any roofing and construction website but its often in the question and its “why bother” reasoning of which I hear a lot that is the exact reason to do it. Often doing what others don’t do is exactly what will give you an edge over your competitors.

The number one category of questions that come up the highest especially for high ticket cost items such as roofing, construction, remodelling and repairs, costs are always high on the persons agenda and I understand, for specific reasons, contractors don’t like discussing it until they have all the info but however, the customer cannot always make and informed choice of calling a contractor unless they have ball-park figures so they know they can afford it.

This is where Cost Guides come in. The discuss the very topic most contractors don’t want to discuss on their website while the customer is information searching, you are helping the customer move down the information funnel and getting closer to calling you, as well you are keeping the prospect on your site giving them as much information as possible.

So the next question I hear you say is how? How do we give them prices without having all the info before we quote them? Well, you don’t! You give them industry averages and ball park figures which is enough for them to make the next decision and call you to get an exact quote. Thats all it needs to do, nothing more, inform them, for specific types of jobs depending on certain conditions, you can expect to pay between x amount and x amount in the local city and region.
