Why Roofing Has One of the Highest CPLs in Home Services
Roofing is a high-ticket, infrequent purchase. The average residential roof replacement runs $8,000–$20,000, which means homeowners take their time deciding — and advertisers compete hard to be in front of them.
High advertiser competition drives up Google Ads CPCs to $15–$50 per click in most markets, and conversion rates on typical roofing landing pages sit around 5–15%. That math produces a CPL well above $150 even before you account for wasted spend on unqualified clicks.
Lead aggregators like Angi look cheap on paper, but their leads are sent to 3–5 contractors simultaneously. Close rates on shared leads average 15–25%, meaning your effective cost per closed job is often $500–$1,200 once you factor in the ones you lose to competitors.

Why are roofing leads so expensive?
Roofing is high-ticket and highly competitive. Google Ads CPCs in roofing average $15–$50 per click, and conversion rates on most landing pages are 5–15%. That produces a CPL well above $150 before accounting for wasted spend. High competition from national franchise brands also bids up the cost in most metro markets.
What's the difference between a lead and an appointment?
A lead is a name and phone number — you still have to call, follow up, and compete. An appointment is a confirmed date and time with a homeowner who has agreed to meet with your crew. Appointments convert at 2–3× the rate of raw leads because the qualification work is already done.
Are biddable appointments exclusive?
Yes. Every appointment is exclusive to one contractor. We never send the same homeowner to multiple roofers. You're not racing anyone to the phone.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contracts. Purchase an appointment package and we deliver within 60 days. Questions? Email ops@getbiddable.com anytime.
