When roofs leak, homeowners search Google. Be the roofer they find - without paying agency prices.
Roofs cost thousands of dollars. Homeowners research extensively before choosing a roofer. If they can't verify your reputation online, they'll call your competitor.
Fly-by-night roofers make homeowners skeptical of everyone. Established local roofers need strong online presence to differentiate from scammers.
Roofing work is seasonal, but visibility must be built before storms hit. When demand spikes, it's too late to start marketing.
Most agencies run the same tools we built into RateGather — and mark them up 10x. Here's the part that should make you angry.
No dashboard. No calendar. No post log. No HealthScore. Just an invoice every month and a "quarterly review" PDF that looks suspiciously like last quarter's.
If their work were any good, why do they need a contract to keep you? RateGather has no contract. You can leave any morning before coffee.
You email them on Monday. They reply Thursday. Their writer drafts on Tuesday. You see it Friday. You request a change. Two weeks gone. RateGather: you edit it yourself in 30 seconds.
Your agency runs SEO software, AI writers, schedulers, and review trackers — and bills you $2,000+ on top. RateGather is the tools. Same software. Same AI. None of the markup.
