Rebuilding Trust Signals to Help a Roofing Company Win More Insurance-Claim Jobs
A roofing company doing significant insurance-claim work lacked the credibility content homeowners and adjusters look for before choosing a contractor. Rebuilt trust content and technical fixes improved both visibility and conversion.
Client Overview
A regional roofing company with a crew of 12, specializing in storm-damage and insurance-claim roof replacements.
The Business Challenge
Homeowners researching storm damage repairs frequently consult AI assistants for guidance on the insurance claims process, and the company's content didn't address that research phase at all.
Objectives
- Get referenced in AI answers about the roofing insurance claims process
- Increase estimate requests from storm-damage searches
- Improve technical SEO health after a prior site migration
- Strengthen licensing and certification visibility
Key Problems Identified
- A recent site migration left broken links and orphaned pages
- No content addressing the insurance claims process at all
- Certifications and manufacturer partnerships weren't mentioned anywhere
- Site speed suffered from unoptimized project photo galleries
