Roofing Lead Qualification

A qualified roofing lead is someone who has indicated an interest in your roofing company’s product or service and is open to sharing their information with you.

Now let’s assess each scenario:

  • Social Media Direct Messages 

When a potential client reaches out to you via direct message on social media and asks about a specific roofing product or service, you have to ask immediately for their information.

When it comes to roofing lead generation, your followers see your content daily, which means they know exactly who you are and what you do. 

  • Landing Page

When a visitor discovers your roofing business through social media, you need to use a call-to-action to promote your website.

This action will allow them to visit your landing page.

A landing page is a web page your potential clients are directed to, to learn more about you.

The goal is to capture their contact info through a form and get in touch with them later.

Your landing page should explain why they should trust your roofing services.

  • Live Chatbox

With a CRM, you can connect a conversational box that will be working 24/7 on your website.

As you know, roofing can become an emergency, and there will be people that will try to contact you immediately.

You can connect the live chatbox to your cell phone and receive the messages in real-time; make sure to ask them their name, phone, location, and roofing issue they have.

Depending on what type of information you receive, you can know if it is a qualified roofing lead or not.

  • Email Response

When you share a valuable piece of content through your email marketing campaign, you are telling your subscribers you are experienced enough to take care of their roof.

People who have been receiving your emails for a while will be confident to reach out to you via email to ask for your roofing services.
