Roofers can win more jobs by publishing project pages built around real before-and-after photos, with a short explanation of the problem, the materials and the result. A roof is a major purchase, so homeowners want proof of finished work, and those pages also give search engines specific, local content to understand.

What a roofing project page needs

  • The type of roof and the problem found.
  • What you did and the materials used.
  • How long the job took and how you protected the property.
  • Before-and-after photos with clear captions.
  • A short comment from the customer, with permission.

Make photos search friendly

Use descriptive file names, write plain alt text and keep image files small. My guides on image SEO and image optimisation explain the details, and the image compressor and WebP converter shrinks files quickly.

Show the area without giving away privacy

Name the town or district, but avoid street numbers and anything that identifies the homeowner. Ask permission before publishing photos of a client’s property.

Link each project to the matching service page, such as replacement or repair, and link back from the service page to your best examples. The page structure in how to optimize a service page shows how.

Borrow the format that works elsewhere

Design studios use the same story structure. See how to write project pages that rank for the layout idea.

Keep photos honest

Only show your own work. Using stock images or other companies’ photos damages trust and can cause legal trouble.

Frequently asked questions

How many photos per project?

Enough to show the problem, the work and the finish, usually a handful.

Should I add video?

Short clips can help, as long as the page still loads quickly.
