Peoria Roofer: +248% Organic Leads After Storm Season
After severe weather hit Central Illinois, a Peoria roofing contractor needed to rank fast for storm-damage and repair keywords across Peoria and Springfield. In five months we reached the top 3 for most target keywords and grew organic leads 248% year over year.
The Client
An established roofing contractor based in Peoria handling residential and light commercial work across Central Illinois. Excellent crews and a solid local name, but a thin online presence that left them invisible exactly when homeowners needed a roofer most.
The Challenge
Severe Central Illinois weather created a sharp surge in roofing demand across Peoria, Springfield, and the towns between them. The problem was timing: when homeowners searched for storm-damage repair, this contractor did not show up, and the surge was flowing straight to competitors.
Roofing searches after a storm are urgent and local. The contractor needed to rank quickly across multiple cities and win emergency Map Pack visibility, not over a year, but in the weeks while demand was peaking.
