Social media for roofers, one hour a month
Most roofers are too busy on jobs to post. You don't need to be a marketer. You need real photos of your work and one hour a month. Here's the routine, plus a free shot list and post ideas for roofing work.
Free: the Roofing photo shot list
Two minutes on every job. Ask the homeowner first, and never show the address.
- Before and after from the street (no house number showing)
- Old, curling shingles next to the new roof
- Flashing and detail work up close
- Your crew working safely (faces only with their OK)
- Your truck on the job, with no customer address showing
Post ideas homeowners like
- Signs your roof needs a look after a storm
- How long different roofs usually last
- What to do if you spot a leak inside
- Why your gutters matter to your roof
By season
- Fall: roof checks and gutter cleaning before winter
- Winter: leak calls and what to do until we get there
- Spring: storm and hail checks
- Summer: replacement season, heat and sun wear
The one-hour-a-month routine
- All month: drop your best job photos into a "To post" album on your phone.
- Once a month: give a free AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini) your photos and a few words about each job. Have it draft 8 posts in your voice, then edit every one so it sounds like you. Keep hashtags to three or fewer, like #[YourTown]Roofing.
- Schedule the next four weeks: Facebook and Instagram in Meta Business Suite, Google posts in your Google Business Profile. Both are free. Meta schedules up to 29 days ahead.
Keep it honest
- Only real photos of your real work. No stock or AI-made pictures passed off as your jobs.
- No fake reviews or testimonials. Ask before sharing a customer's words.
- Google posts: no phone numbers or emails in the text. Use the Call now button.
- Posting keeps your profile looking alive. It won't, by itself, move you up in Google's rankings.
