Forge helps independent roofing contractors get more Google reviews, respond to new leads in under 30 seconds, and rank higher on Google Maps — without hiring a marketing agency.
We analyzed the Google profiles of 513 independent Texas contractors. Roofing companies averaged 42.8 Google reviews at a 4.91 star rating. Industry guidance puts 40–75 reviews as the range associated with ranking well in competitive local search — so the typical independent roofing business sits well below the bar.
Every trade we measured averaged between 4.58 and 4.91 stars, which means rating isn't what separates businesses in the local pack. Review volume is.
Roofing has the highest average review count of any trade we measured, which means the bar is genuinely higher. After a hail event, search volume spikes for weeks and goes to whoever is already ranking.
Storm chasers flood the market after every major weather event. An established local review profile is what separates you from an out-of-town crew with a magnetic sign.
Plans start at $49/month with a 14-day free trial and no contract. If you have at least 30 past customers to contact, we guarantee 10 new Google reviews in your first 30 days — or you don't pay.
