| Google Ads Transparency Centre, AU | 0 ads on record | 0 ads on record | 0 ads on record | One Sydney roofer is buying the repair searches. The rest of the market is leaving the paid slots alone. |
| Meta Ads Ad Library, active now | ~1,600 results | ~34 results | No ads found | Neither of the two roofers ranking above you shows a verifiable Meta ad. The feed in this category is not being contested. |
| Landing page Where the click lands | 2 forms, about 9900 words | No form, no phone number | Two forms, 54 fields | Your page asks for the job with a short form and a phone number. The site above you asks for nothing and has no phone number at all. |

The roofer search in Sydney is topped by a national matching site with 657 words on the page. A Sydney firm holds second and fifth on the repair and general terms with a 54 field enquiry form. The gutter searches are held by specialists. One paid ad runs on roof repair and nothing else in this comparison is paid for. You are on none of the six.

The page sitting third for roof repair is a matching site with no phone number, no form and 657 words, and it is beating every actual roofer in Sydney. Gutter replacement is held by three specialist companies, which means the generalists are not defending it. Both of those are openings, not walls.
The chain, with every assumption written down. Deliberately conservative.
The six searches in this report at an example volume a city this size supports. An example, not a measured figure.
The clicks you do not get today, once those pages sit around position three, rounded down.
Enquiries at 5% of those visits, rounded down.
Enquiries, not booked jobs. What a re-roof or a restoration is worth is your number, not mine.
Halve the example volume and it is still two or three homeowners a month who never see your name. The searches happen whether or not you rank. Today they ring whoever is on page one.
Estimates, not promises. Each assumption is deliberately conservative so the number holds up.
Take the gutter searches first because specialists hold them and the pages are thin, then build the roof repair page that outranks a matching site with no phone number.

| Australian Roofers | 0 | Nothing on record | No ad on record | australianroofers.com | No ad on record. |

Not one of the three roofing businesses in this comparison has an ad on record, and only one of the six searches returned a paid result, from a fourth roofer buying the roof repair term. Everything else on page one is organic, which means the way in here is pages rather than budget.
Both of the sites ranking above you are built around one action: a quote form and a phone number in the first screen. Yours has the offer, and the path to it takes longer than it should.
A finished roof and a before photo is the cheapest ad in this category
The Meta searches return unrelated advertisers for both names, so nothing is being spent here yet. Roofing is bought on proof, and a before and after of a restoration is exactly the proof a homeowner responds to.
Use your own work, shot from the street: the old surface, the new surface, the same angle. No stock photography of a house nobody in Sydney lives in.
Why this matters: a stronger headline and hook lifts click-through. Higher click-through lowers what Meta charges per click. Cheaper clicks mean more visits from the same budget, and more visits mean more enquiries. The feed is empty in this category, and the firms ranking above you are not there. The first mover takes it cheaply.
Three specialists hold gutter replacement and none of the generalists are defending it. It is the cheapest page one position on this list and gutters lead to roof work on the same house.
A site with no phone number and 657 words holds third for roof repair in Sydney. A real roofer with photos, suburbs and a quote promise should not be behind it.
One Sydney roofer is buying the repair term and no one else in this comparison is paid. A modest test on gutter and restoration terms meets almost no competition.
Roofing is bought on evidence. Before and after photos of Sydney roofs, with the suburb named, do more for both rankings and enquiries than any amount of copy about service.
Roofing is a proof category and the feed is uncontested. A short clip from the top of a restoration job, posted and boosted to your postcodes, costs less than a print ad and travels further.
If you want the same treatment applied to the whole funnel, the next step is a working session. I will take this report apart line by line, show you where the enquiries are leaking and what the first 90 days look like.
