What does Google check before a Florida roofer can run Local Services Ads?

Google checks state business and owner licenses where local law requires them, and every owner passes a background check. Google doesn't name a Florida-specific license type, so for a roofer that's your DBPR license, CC if certified or RC if registered. We match the account details to your DBPR record before we submit.

Can a Southern California agency run marketing for a Tampa Bay roofer?

Yes. We run accounts for Tampa Bay roofers remotely from Canyon Lake, California. LSA, Google Business Profile, Yelp and reviews all run online. You get every lead reviewed and rated weekly so Google credits the junk, and a monthly numbers call. We don't have a Florida office and don't claim one.

How do Tampa Bay roofers stand out from storm chasers after a hurricane?

Make yourself easy to check. Every Florida license is public on the DBPR Licensing Portal, and Google shows your reviews right next to the call button. We keep your license details, real job photos and review replies current all year, so the profile already holds up when the next storm hits.

Can a Florida roofer still take an assignment of benefits?

Not on newer policies. Under s. 627.7152(13), homeowners cannot assign post-loss insurance benefits to a contractor under residential or commercial property policies issued on or after January 1, 2023. Any attempt is void. Your ads and follow-up need to work with the homeowner as the one dealing with the insurer.

TMC Roofing (Riverside County, CA): Booked LSA jobs doubled in a month at the same cost per booked job. Same system we run in Tampa Bay. See the numbers

5.0 from 25 Google reviews

Florida licenses roofers as CC (certified) or RC (registered), and Google checks state business and owner licenses where local law requires them. Roofing here also runs on Florida rules like the 2007-code roof exception and the ban on assigning insurance benefits. Storm chasers show up after every hurricane. A license anyone can look up on DBPR and a real review history set you apart.

Under s. 553.844(5), if a roof was built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, repairing or replacing 25% or more of it only requires the repaired part to meet current code, not the whole roof. Local governments cannot change that exception by ordinance. The section was last amended in 2022 (ch. 2022-269).

What we run for Tampa Bay roofers

Google Local Services Ads

We set up and run the LSA account, pick the roofing job types you actually want, and review and rate every lead weekly so Google credits the junk back to you.

Google Business Profile

Categories, services, photos of real jobs and weekly posts. The profile is what shows in the map pack when a homeowner searches after a storm.

Reviews

We monitor every review and reply to all of them. We never gate reviews or filter who gets asked.

Yelp and speed to lead

Yelp ads where they pay off, and a fast response setup so a lead that comes in at 7pm gets a reply before your competitor calls back.
